How secure

information?
Donating Online
When you donate online by credit card, you must submit your name, phone

certified by VeriSign.
What

our website and provide information that is valuable to our donors, volunteers
and other visitors.

Community
Supporter Database
UWGMC retains information provided by supporters in a secure database.
This database of information may be used to verify donation transactions,
thank supporters for their contributions, keep supporters informed or
solicit future donations. UWGMC 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. The information in this database is not shared, traded,
sold or rented to any third parties.
Your
IP Address
An IP address is a number assigned to your computer automatically when
you use the Internet. UWGMC will use your IP address along with all other
users' IP addresses to track usage patterns and improve our website.
At no time is your IP address linked with anything that personally identifies
the owner of the IP address.

websites. All transactions are transmitted over secure sockets and are
certified by VeriSign. Your personal information is protected and handled
in accordance with laws enacted to protect consumers like you.
Tracking
Information
