What Information Does RGVWCC Collect About Site Visitors?

At the Site, we do not collect Personal Information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

Automatic Information:

Whenever you interact with RGVWCC, we receive and store certain types of information. For example, we may use "cookies" to obtain information when your web browser accesses this website.

Does RGVWCC Share the Information It Receives?

We are not in the business of selling information about our Site visitors. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you, and we treat it with great care and respect. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your data with certain third parties. We will share personally identifiable information with third parties when (i) the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it, (ii) the third party is performing a function on behalf of RGVWCC that is directly related to the operation of the Site or to a service or information provided on the Site, and access to such information is necessary to the performance of such function or to the provision of such services or information being provided (such as, by way of example, receipt of online donations or registration for RGVWCC’s events), or (iii) we are required by law to do so.

Access to Information About You

If you desire to review your own personal information, to correct existing information, or to remove your information, please contact RGVWCC via email at [email protected]. If you request the removal of your personal information, you acknowledge that residual information may continue to reside in RGVWCC’s records and archives, but RGVWCC will not use that information for commercial purposes. RGVWCC reserves the right to maintain your personal information if RGVWCC has suspended, limited, or terminated your access to our website for violating RGVWCC’s Terms of Use.
