Wesley Village Protects Your Privacy

The people of Wesley Village will always respect and protect your privacy. When you visit with us here, we will collect information that will be helpful to us in our outreach to you, and to the community as a whole. Included in this collection is aggregate information, which includes the nature of your computer operating system, your browsing patterns and certain other general statistical information about your computer use. Your personally identifiable information is also collected once you voluntarily provide it to us, and this can include your name, address, email address, telephone, credit card information, and purchasing preferences. We are providing you with specific information on this aspect of our web site's operation, as well as other features, in the paragraphs that follow so that you will be fully informed. If at any time you have questions or comments regarding any aspect of Wesley Village's web site or our built-in information collecting practices, please contact Wesley Village's Vice President for Development at (859) 858-3865 ext. 237.

 

The Two Types of Information That Wesley Village Collects

As described briefly above, the information that a visit to this web site will provide to Wesley Village falls into two categories; [1] aggregate information, and [2] personally identifiable information. As will be apparent, the aggregate information does not identify you, and may, as an example, give us statistical information concerning which pages of our web site, you visit the most. This helps us pattern our web site to best suit the majority of the users, and thus makes our outreach more helpful. The personally identifiable information is, as set forth above, the more detailed data that you voluntarily provide to us. In addition to the personal information as to name, address, membership, email address and similar personal data, your billing information will become part of the Wesley Village records. Wesley Village does not share with third parties any personally identifiable information that we have collected, except as needed to complete any voluntary debit or credit card transaction initiated by you. It is used solely to process on-line donations, or to indicate to the Wesley Village Human Resources staff any interest you may have in employment at Wesley Village. We may disclose aggregate information to responsible parties for such uses as compiling Wesley Village statistics and outreach purposes. Wesley Village may be required to disclose personally identifiable information when required to comply with relevant laws or legal proceedings, but this will be done only with your express permission, or to comply with an enforceable legal subpoena, court order or administrative order. Wesley Village will at all times abide by federal and state laws and regulations with regard to all information collected from our web site.

 

Security Systems Protect Website Users

Wesley Village has put in place sophisticated security systems designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of information that you provide to us. As a part of these systems, all exchanges of personally identifiable financial information, such as debit card number, expiration date, owner name and address, are conducted using a Secure Socket Layer  [SSL] connection. This provides state-of-the-art security as the information is transmitted to us. Despite all of our efforts to prevent a breach by hackers or other outsiders, it is remotely possible for our security systems to be compromised, and in this unlikely event, we will attempt to notify you as soon as possible. Furthermore, we will provide assistance in recovery of any losses, but limited to providing technical information and reasonable testimony regarding the incident. Due to the nature of Internet communications and the evolving technologies designed by hackers to breach security systems, Wesley Village does not insure against any related losses, monetary or otherwise, and specifically disclaims any such warranty.

 

Employment Inquiry

Wesley Village maintains an on-line employment inquiry form for the convenience of those that may be interested in employment opportunities at Wesley Village. This form requests personal information (name, address, telephone, Email, and any history of criminal convictions, etc.), plus skills, training, desired employment status, and so forth. This form in NOT managed under a Secure Socket Layer [SSL] connection, and will be transmitted to the Wesley Village server and then to the Wesley Village personal office as an Email using ordinary Internet communications. These communications are NOT secure; therefore, should you have information that you wish to keep confidential, DO NOT use this electronic form. Email is not guaranteed to be 100% reliable. Therefore, should you use the form and not receive a response from our Human Resources Director within two working days, you should feel free to contact our office to confirm receipt. If you are concerned about the security and/or reliability of the electronic application process, feel free to send the information on the form in an ordinary letter using the U.S. Postal service.
