Your Privacy

Thank you for visiting the Pellissippi State Technical Community College Foundation Web site. Our goal is to raise funds to support Pellissippi State and its students. We help bridge the gap in the budget between what Tennessee State appropriations and other public funding sources provide and the resources the College needs to grow and improve. We do this by raising funds for

• scholarships, awards, and emergency loans for students;
• educational programs;
• professional development and awards for faculty and staff; and
• facility construction and renovation.

Protecting your privacy is important to us. We provide this statement of our privacy policy to help you understand how the Pellissippi State Technical Community College Foundation collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our Web site.

When you browse any of the Foundation’s Web pages, you do so anonymously. We do not collect personal information, including your email address, unless you intentionally share it with us via our secure, encrypted transmission. We do log the IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which of our Web sites you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your address to anything personally identifiable. In addition, your browser supplies us information on the type of computer and operating system you are using.

On our Web site, we have donor information forms and other forms (such as the Alumni Update form) that make it easier for you to send us your personal information. Using these forms, you voluntarily give us your name, email address, home and business postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and other information. On some questionnaires, there are optional boxes that you can check to indicate interest in one or more of the Foundation’s program areas. This information is kept strictly confidential in a secure and encrypted environment.
