Privacy Policy

General

The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) respects the privacy of every individual who visits our Web site. This privacy policy outlines the information UNOS may collect and how we may use that information.

Personal Data

UNOS will not collect any personally-identifiable information about you (e.g., your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address ["personal data"]) through our Web site unless you have provided it to us voluntarily. If you do not want your personal data collected, please do not submit it to us. When you do provide us with personal data, we may use that information in the following ways, unless stated otherwise: we may store and process that information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our services; we (or another government contractor) may use that information to contact you; and/or we may provide other third parties with aggregate--but not individual--information about visitors to or users of our Web site. We do not now and do not intend to sell, rent, or market personal data about you to third parties.

Your Technical Data

In some cases, we may automatically (i.e., not via registration) collect technical information when you connect to our Web site that is not personally-identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, and the domain name of the Web site from which you linked to our site.

Special Notification with respect to Children's Privacy (Users under the age of 13)

In response to concerns about protecting children's privacy online, the U.S. Congress enacted the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which sets forth rules and procedures governing the ways in which Web sites may collect, use, and disclose any personal information for children under the age of 13. In accordance with UNOS policy and COPPA regulations, we do not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable online or offline contact information from users under 13 years of age; knowingly use or share personal information from users of any age, including those under 13 years of age, with third parties; give/permit children the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information; nor entice children with the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.
