Personal Information

You do not have to provide personal information to use our Website. However, particular services provided through the Website require that you furnish personal information. We collect such personal information only when you provide it to us, for example, in registering for programs and camps; pledging support; and becoming a YMCA member; and when taking part in promotional opportunities or registering for general information on programs and services. You may be asked to provide your contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), financial information (such as credit card numbers) and demographic information (such as your Zip code, age, or income level) in connection with your use of such services.

Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries; to notify you in connection with your request for services; register you for camps or conferences; or contact you with regards to your inquiries from our Website.

We use IP addresses to calculate Website usage levels. Whenever you are on the Internet, a number (an IP address) is automatically assigned to your computer. This number is identified and logged automatically whenever you visit our Website. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet, and is done automatically by many Websites.

We may also disclose personal information if we believe that we are required to do so (i) by law, (ii) to comply with legal process or governmental requests, (iii) to enforce our User Agreement or (iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of the YMCA, its users or the public.

Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you online. For some services, we either collect and transfer personal information to a third party service provider in order to verify and process your credit card. We encourage you to ask questions and to be cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.
