Privacy Policy

United Way of Bartholomew County is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) governs how we treat the Personal Information that we collect and receive from you in connection with your use of the SMS Service (“Service”), which we make available to you through a third-party service provider. This Policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy. United Way of Bartholomew County reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or change this Policy at any time with or without prior notice to you. The date of the last update will be posted at the top of this Policy for your convenience. This Policy, and any changes, are effective as soon as posted. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to the Policy constitutes your full acceptance of those changes.

“Personal Information”

is information that individually identifies you, such as your mobile phone number, user name, screen name, as well as any other Personal Information (social security number, driver's license number, passport number, address, email address, browsing history, or any data that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you) that you choose to include in messages you send through the Service.

What Personal Information is collected about you Through the use of the Service, United Way of Bartholomew County will receive the following information from our third party service provider: your mobile phone number when you send a text message to us, the text of messages that you send to other users of the Service, any user or screen name that you select in connection with the Service, as well as any comments or feedback regarding the Service that you send to us. You have the right to (i) request information about the personal data we may collect from you; and (ii) you have the right to request that we delete the personal information.

United Way of Bartholomew County utilizes servers and services owned by third parties. We will retain your data for as long as necessary to provide the service and for legal and operational purposes.

Disclosure of your information

We will not rent or sell your Personal Information to other companies or individuals, unless we have your consent.

We may use or disclose such information in any of the following limited circumstances:

We have your consent.
We need to enforce our Terms of Service.
We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing Personal Information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
