Trident United Way Privacy Policy

Trident United Way (TUW) is committed to protecting the privacy of our constituents, whether collected through the internet or in some other manner. TUW does NOT sell, trade, or rent your donor personal information to others. TUW may transfer some information to our agents for purposes such as clearing credit cards or analyzing traffic to enhance your online experience but always under strict confidentiality. The only time we would release personal donor/volunteer information outside the provisions of our privacy policy is if we conclude, in good faith, that it is necessary to comply with legal requirements, to enforce our rights, or to protect Trident United Way, you, or our other constituents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What personal information do you collect?

When you make a pledge, TUW collects your name, email address, mailing address, phone numbers, and if you are paying by credit card, credit card number, the card's expiration date and the security code on the back of the card. In addition, if you make a credit card payment through our e-pledge system, it will ask for your social security number as an additional security measure. This information is required by our third-party processor, CyberSource, and is not sent back to or maintained by TUW and does not reside at www.tuw.org or on its server. We need only your email address and zip code when you join our email list.

How may I update my personal information?

If at any time you believe the information collected by TUW is incorrect, inappropriate, or has become outdated, contact our Resource Development department to have your information changed.

How does our constituent database work?

TUW retains information provided by constituents in a secure database. This database of information may be used to verify donation transactions, thank supporters for their contributions, communicate with constituents about upcoming events or announcements, or to solicit future donations. TUW understands that most people do not want a lot of mail or email, so we keep our communication frequency within reasonable limits. You may be removed from our database at your request. All information is secure, and credit card information is not held in this database.
