Privacy Policy
Introduction. ROW collects personal information on individuals who are using our services, by entering it into an internal computer database system. This system was created to get a more accurate count of individuals and families served through our organization, and to meet reporting requirements of various funding sources. Information collected in our database system includes:
- Basic identifying demographic data (name, address, phone number, date of birth).
- Services and referrals you receive from our agency.
Our ability to assist you depends on having certain personal identifying information.
