The Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) endeavors to respect the privacy of every individual who visits our site. In this Notice, we disclose our information practices for the publicly accessible pages hosted under the domain uwalumni.com. This includes what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.
Personal Data
WAA does not and will not sell, rent, trade or market the personal data of constituents to third parties. We do, however, share our data with campus partners, business associates, Wisconsin Alumni Association chapters and select individuals and entities for alumni relations and development purposes where applicable.
Business Relationships
Pages under the uwalumni.com domain contain links to other sites. Please be aware that WAA is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites. This Notice applies solely to information collected by this website.
Children
The uwalumni.com domain and underlying pages are not directed towards children and do not knowingly solicit or collect information from children. If parents want to supervise their children’s online activities, they may consider using one of the available prepackaged parental control tools. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing personal information without parental consent. For additional information regarding children’s online privacy, please consult the “Consumer Protection” page of the Federal Trade Commission home page at: http://www.ftc.gov.
Information Collected Automatically
In some cases, WAA may automatically collect information (i.e. without you submitting it) about you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, the IP address of your computer, and the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site. This information is used to ensure our website meets the needs of the majority of our users, as well as to diagnose problems with our website. This information also helps us produce statistics on how frequently our various pages are visited.
Cookies
Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer the first time you visit our website that enable our server to recognize or “remember” who you are the next time you come back. Cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer’s memory; rather, they record only information you volunteer to give us upon logging into or visiting the site.
Data Security
WAA has implemented commercially reasonable technical and appropriate organizational measures to help us keep your personally identifiable information secure, accurate, current, and complete. When our membership form asks you to submit personally identifiable information, that information is encrypted when it is sent from your browser to our server. Your browser will notify you that it is using encryption by placing a lock symbol in your browser window or address bar. To learn more about encryption, please visit: Verisign Information Center.
Any information that you submit to our website is quickly transferred to a secure computer that is not publicly accessible. Once off our website, we take additional precautions to protect your data in our access-restricted offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task are granted access to personally identifiable information.
