We believe you should be aware of our policies designed to protect the confidentiality of this information and how we use it, particularly when you provide personal information to United Way of Erie County.
Please take a moment to review our privacy policy particularly, including sections that refer to your working with us directly or through an authorized representative.
United Way of Erie County obtains personal information about you in the following ways:
We may use this information to process transactions, respond to inquiries from you or your representative, and develop, offer and deliver new programs and services.

The strong protection of sensitive information is the basis of our donors' trust and a standard practice. We employ extensive physical, electronic and procedural protection mechanisms.
United Way of Erie County does not sell or rent donor names or information to any firm or nonprofit organization, and it does not share it with any firm or nonprofit organization for their marketing or fundraising purposes, unless you or your authorized representative explicitly asks us to do so. You do not have to contact us to benefit from these protections; they apply automatically to all our donors.
We may share the personal information we collect with government agencies or other regulatory bodies and law enforcement officials (e.g.,for tax reporting or for reporting suspicious transactions).
Privacy, security and service online are just as critical as the rest of our operations. We, therefore, employ firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures.

Note that contact information is required by the IRS in regard to contributions, but is not for public inspection. United Way of Erie County does not sell, trade or share its donor list with any organization. It is always the donor’s choice if they wish to remain anonymous.
