Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

Furthermore, we will not sell, share, or exchange the donor information we gather to any individual or any third party. When registering for an event, we will ask for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, # of attendees, as well as credit card payment information.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about exciting things happening at UWLC or changes to this privacy policy.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website or via hard copy forms, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, event coordinators, finance department) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

To register for an event, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.
