Privacy Policy Upper Palmetto YMCA is very respectful about the privacy concerns of the visitors to its sites on the Internet. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected from visitors to its sites, nor is so-called "cookie" technology used by the sites created by Upper Palmetto YMCA. However, certain non-personal information of visitors is recorded by the standard operation of Upper Palmetto YMCA's Internet servers. This information is primarily used to provide an enhanced online experience for the visitor. Information tracked includes the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink). By having this information, we seek to provide an optimal experience to every visitor. Other uses of this information include internal review of the number of visitors to the sites but only in an aggregate and non-personally-identifiable form. E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors to this site are known to Upper Palmetto YMCA only when voluntarily submitted. Personally identifiable information that may be collected in connection with visitors voluntarily filling out correspondence, contest entry forms or subscribing to news services is retained by Upper Palmetto YMCA. This data is not sold or otherwise transferred outside the company. This information is used to better understand visitors' use of our sites and to support transactions made on the sites. However, this data in an aggregate form may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses. We sometimes also use e-mail addresses and other personally identifiable information to contact visitors who communicate with us. For example, we direct e-mail to visitors who provide us with their e-mail addresses for specific purposes such as receiving our e-mail newsletters or being notified regarding specific programs. Each e-mail newsletter always contains instruction on how to discontinue receipt of the newsletter. To the extent that any of our sites accessible through Upper Palmetto YMCA have additional practices, these practices will be explained at that site.
