Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. Our ongoing commitment to the protection
of your privacy is essential to maintaining the relationship of trust that
exists between UniversalGiving and all of our users, whether they be donors,
NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), potential donors and volunteers with
accounts, readers of our newsletters or other visitors to the site. This
notice of our privacy policy is intended to help you understand our online
information security practices.
This notice applies to all information you submit to the UniversalGiving website.
Please note that we cannot be responsible for the information you submit
directly to third parties, including our Partners, who may have their own
posted policies regarding the collection and use of your information. We
urge you to review the policies of our Partners through whom you may access
our services.
We use the Information we collect about you to facilitate the volunteering
process and to provide information to you about UniversalGiving and related
industry topics. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive.
Please be aware that, to the extent required to provide our services, we
share your Information with volunteers, nonprofit organizations, or our
Partners, as applicable:
Cookies are tiny data files that Web sites commonly write to your hard drive
when you visit them so that they can remember you when you visit. A cookie
file contains information that can identify you anonymously and maintain
your account's privacy. Our site uses cookies to maintain a user's identity
between sessions so that the site can be personalized based on user preferences
or a user's history.
Occasionally, we hire third-party service providers to help us provide or
improve the services we offer you. Sometimes it is necessary for these providers
to have access to the Information we collect about you. In those cases,
we take reasonable steps to ensure that these providers do not use or otherwise
disclose any Information we collect about you except for the purpose of
fulfilling their service obligations to us.
In addition, we share aggregate information about our users with certain
third parties. This information shows user activity as a whole rather than
on an individual basis and cannot be used to individually identify you.
We use aggregated information we collect about users to continue to improve
our service for our users.
This site contains links to other sites. UniversalGiving is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
If you have registered for an account, you may access all your personally
identifiable Information that we collect and maintain online by simply inputting

to better safeguard your Information. You do not need to contact us to access
your record or to make any changes. If you have problems changing your organization's
Information, please contact us at info@universalgiving.org.
Individuals who serve as administrators for their organization by registering
and maintaining their organizations' information and membership, are the
only group required to receive UniversalGiving communications. All other communications
are optional and allow the user to unsubscribe from the newsletter. In every
email we send, we provide instructions regarding how to opt-out of receiving
future mailings. Users may remove their Information from our database so
as not to receive our service or future communications by sending an email
to Community Services at info@universalgiving.org.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct
use of Information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic,
and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Information we collect
