United Voices for Global Impact (UVGI) is committed to protecting your privacy, whether you’re a donor, website visitor, or anyone else who communicates or connects with us. We make every effort to ensure that your personal information is processed in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we use and protect that information, and your rights regarding your personal data.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

This Privacy Policy applies when you make a donation to UVGI, visit our site uvgi.org, or engage with us in any other way that involves sharing your personal information with UVGI. By visiting our websites, you are accepting this Privacy Policy.
Donor Information
If you make a donation, either online or otherwise, we will request certain personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information. This information ensures that we can securely process your donation and communicate with you regarding it. If you provide personal information about others, or if others provide us with your information, we will use that information only for the specific purpose for which it was provided. If you believe that someone has shared your personal information with us and you do not wish to be included in our database, please contact us at info@uvgi.org so that we can remove you.
UVGI employs third-party companies to help us host our donor information database, send postal mail and email, model our data, and process online and mail donations as well as credit card payments. These companies require access to personal donor information, but we mandate that they keep it confidential. They are authorized to use this information only as necessary to provide their specific services to us. Any debit or credit card details received through our website are securely passed to Stripe, our payment processing partners. These third parties securely process credit card information, and UVGI does not have access to your full credit card details.
Legal Disclosure
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and codes of practice, or in response to a valid request from a competent authority. Additionally, we may disclose your information in order to enforce our terms of use and other agreements.
Other Information
If you provide personal information such as your name, postal address, and email address for purposes other than donating (such as receiving an email newsletter or invitations to events). We collect, store, and use this information primarily for the purposes for which it was submitted.
