Our General Privacy Policy
The
Chinese
Community Center (from
this point on referred to as the “Center”) recognizes the importance of
protecting information we may collect from visitors to our site. 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.
Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves. If
one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the purposes
of correspondence, giving a donation, or registering for a class, etc. then it
is our intent to let you know how we will use such information. If users tell
us that they do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further
contact, we will respect those wishes.
The
Chinese
Community Center takes precautions to
keep the user information disclosed to us secure, and such information will not
be disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. To prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of
information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect. UWA uses SSL encryption for all financial transactions to
protect personal information.
Use of Cookies
Certain sections of the Center's web site use "cookies"
to store user information. A cookie is a small string of text that a web site
can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address. Currently,
web sites use cookies to enhance the user's visit; in general, cookies can
securely store a user's ID and password, personalize home pages, identify which
parts of a site have been visited, or keep track of selections in a
"shopping cart." Cookies help us understand which parts of our web
sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they
spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can
make the site even better.
Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user's
browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that
may have been set while the user was browsing the site. If you are just
browsing the Center's web site, a cookie identifies only your browser. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being
placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the
cookie. If you are just browsing our site, you do
not have to accept a cookie and you can still continue browsing the site.
However, if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing a confidential
account, you must accept that site's cookies because they are essential for
site administration and security.

The Center’s website contains links to other sites that can
be accessed at certain places on this site.
These sites contain information created, published, and maintained by

Unless specified, we do not endorse, approve, certify, or control these
external sites or any commercial product or service referenced therein. Nor do we guarantee the accuracy,
completeness, efficacy, or timeliness of information located therein.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
The Center reserves the right to modify the Site and/or
Privacy Statement at any time and users are deemed to be apprised of and bound
by any such modifications. Our goal is
