Website Privacy Policy

Our General Policy

Goodwill of the Finger Lakes ("Goodwill") recognizes the importance of protecting the personal information we may collect from visitors to our site. This may include names, email addresses, IP addresses, and other identifiers. Our policy is to use the information we acquire from visitors to our sites for internal purposes only, and we maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information private. Your browser, however, does automatically provide us with information such as the type of computer and operating system you are using.

Users can visit the site without revealing any personal information. If you choose to provide us with personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.

If users indicate they do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. We track the domains from which people visit us to analyze trends and statistics, and then we discard the data. We do not share information web users provide with third parties for commercial purposes, though we may share it with service providers under strict confidentiality agreements for operational needs.

Goodwill takes precautions to keep user information secure. All personal data is transmitted via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and access is restricted via username and password authentication. Only authorized Goodwill employees are permitted to access personally identifiable information for specific work-related purposes. We also recommend users take precautions online, such as using strong passwords and updating them regularly. In the event of a data breach, affected users will be notified in accordance with applicable laws.

If users have questions about the types of information collected on this website or would like to request a correction of any information collected, please contact us.
