Discussion : Phone numbers and names are published in phone books for the convenience of the public. In addition, many e-mail addresses are already incorporated in various public databases. Many people don’t know this. Such information is generally available to search engines. Interest in the Unitarian Society of Hartford Web Site is primarily limited to the congregation and related UUA organizations. Consequently, access to phone numbers and e-mail addresses is convenient for those who rely on electronic resources for information otherwise filed or lost one place or another at home or in the office. Failure to provide this information is generally a self-inflicted delay in accomplishing various communication tasks.

Unlisted phone numbers (should not be available anyway), those numbers that for domestic reasons should not be generally known, or the phone number or e-mail address of an individual who simply is concerned about their own personal privacy, shall be omitted from the web site upon request.
