Who we are
Our website address is https://westvirginiaworks.org. This Privacy Policy explains how West Virginia Works (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you submit our request-for-information form, we collect the information you enter: your first name, last name, email address, company, and a message. Only your email address is required, so you can leave the other fields blank. We use this information only to respond to your request and follow up on the topic you contacted us about.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our web server may log basic technical information about visits, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. This helps keep the site secure and working properly.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website, such as which pages are viewed most often. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like your approximate location, device type, and browser. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at https://policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out using Google’s browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cookies
This website uses a small number of cookies. If you visit our login page (which is used only by site administrators), we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When administrators log in, additional cookies save their login information and screen preferences. Embedded content, such as our Vimeo video, may also set cookies of its own.
If analytics are active on the site, they may also set cookies as described above. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Embedded content and third-party links
Our home page includes a video hosted by Vimeo. When you visit a page with an embedded Vimeo video, Vimeo may collect information about you, such as your IP address and how you interact with the video, and may set cookies. This happens according to Vimeo’s own privacy practices, which we don’t control. You can read them at https://vimeo.com/privacy.
This website also links to our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram. Those sites are operated by third parties and have their own privacy practices. If we embed other third-party content in the future, it may collect data about you in the same way as if you had visited that website directly.
Who we share your data with
Information you submit through our forms is accessed only by West Virginia Works staff and the service providers that help us operate this website, such as our website hosting provider. We may also disclose information if required by law.
How long we retain your data
We keep information from the request-for-information form only as long as needed to respond to your request and for our program records. If you would like us to delete your submission sooner, contact us using the information below.
What rights you have over your data
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, request a copy of it, or ask us to correct or delete it. We will honor these requests except where we are required to keep information for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised.
