UEI volunteers and team members may have access to your contact information to reach out about events, programs, or community activities. All team members are expected to maintain confidentiality and use this information only for official UEI purposes.

Payment Processors

When you make a donation, your payment is processed through third-party services such as PayPal, Stripe, or similar platforms. These processors handle your financial information according to their own privacy policies. UEI does not store your credit card number or full banking details.

Social Media and Advertising

UEI may participate in Facebook Custom Audience and similar programs to reach current supporters and potential community members. To do this, we may share a secure, encrypted version (cryptographic hash) of your email address with these platforms. If your email does not match an account on that platform, no identification occurs. Facebook deletes this data if there is no match. You can opt out through your social media privacy settings.

Email Communications

If you sign up for our mailing list, we may track whether emails are opened and which links are clicked to help us improve our communications. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Cookies

Our website may use basic cookies for site functionality and analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. We do not use cookies for advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly.

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely through Google Workspace and related services. We take reasonable precautions to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, so please use caution when sharing sensitive information online.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

Legal Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal process, protect the safety of any person, or protect the rights and property of UEI.

Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by UEI. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
