Information practices.
The PWCDC respects your privacy. We will never give, sell or rent your email address
to any other organization unless you specifically authorize us.
This site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of such web sites.
How do we use the information you provide the PWCDC?
When you volunteer online:
Our volunteer forms ask you to give us contact information (such as your name and
email address) and geographic information (such as your zip code and state). We use
this information to send you customized content about campaigns and to help match
your interests to campaign activities. If you provide your phone number, we may call
you. If you choose to subscribe to an email newsletter, we use your email address to
send you that newsletter. You may remove your email address from that subscriber list
by visiting the unsubscribe page for that list.
When you contribute money online:
We are required by federal law to collect and report to the Federal Election Commission
the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employers of individuals whose
contributions exceed $100 in a calendar year. These records are available to the public.
However, they cannot be used by other organizations for fundraising. For additional
information, visit the FEC website at http://www.fec.gov. We also make a note of your
telephone number and email address, which helps us to contact you quickly if follow-up
on your contribution is necessary under Federal election law.
How do we protect your information?
Our website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of the information under our control. Our servers are located in a locked,
secure environment. For your protection we have not detailed the entirety of these
measures.
We do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All user information
is restricted.
When you contribute online, the PWCDC uses state-of-the-art security protocols to
protect sensitive data, such as personal information and credit card numbers. The
privacy of this data is ensured by the experience of our partnership with our contribution
vendor(s).
