Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors use the website, and improve the user experience.

We may also use third-party analytics services that collect information about website traffic and usage. These services may use cookies or similar technologies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of the website.

Third-Party Services

WI CAN may use third-party services to support website functionality, webinar registration, video conferencing, email communications, analytics, embedded content, or other online services.

When you interact with a third-party service, that provider may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms of service. WI CAN is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to partner organizations, educational resources, government agencies, and other third-party websites.

A link from the WI CAN website does not mean that WI CAN controls the linked website or its privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information.

Educational and Professional Information

The resources and educational materials available through the WI CAN website are intended for educational and professional purposes.

Unless specifically instructed through an authorized and secure WI CAN service, visitors should not submit confidential case information, protected health information, personally identifiable information about children or families, or other sensitive information through general website forms or email communications.

Information Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through our website. However, no website, email communication, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive or confidential information through standard website forms unless the form specifically indicates that it is intended and appropriately secured for that purpose.

Children’s Privacy

The WI CAN website provides professional and educational information related to child maltreatment, but the website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 through general website forms. If we become aware that such information has been submitted without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to address it.

Data Retention

We may retain information collected through the website for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, maintain appropriate organizational records, comply with legal obligations, or support legitimate organizational operations.

You may contact WI CAN to request information about personal information you have submitted through the website or to request that information be corrected or deleted, where appropriate and subject to applicable legal or record-retention requirements.

You may also adjust your browser settings to limit cookies and may unsubscribe from applicable email communications.
