How we collect information

UHRelief may collect information regarding visitors/donors to the site, including IP address, browser, and domain information, and information volunteered by you, such as e-mail address, contact information and, for donations and purchases, credit card information. We may also monitor and track information, such as visitor usage patterns using standard website tracking software. When you are on our site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with UHRelief . UHRelief only shares your personal information with its financial service providers in order to complete your donation. UHRelief does not share or sell donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. UHRelief will only share personal information if the donor has given permission to do so.
Information we collect

UHRelief collects personally identifiable information (which may lude name, email address, physical address, and phone number) from visitors, donors, and subscribers to our e-newsletter, or those who take an action concerning an issue using our service. Please note that our web server does not automatically recognize or collect personal information based on your e-mail address; the personal information we collect is always voluntarily submitted by you.

Use of information

UHRelief uses the personally identifiable information we collect about you to be able to send you communications such as our e-newsletter and various printed publications or mail appeals in furtherance of our fundraising, educational, and advocacy objectives.
Sharing of information

Except as set forth in this Policy, UHRelief will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information to third parties, except when we have your permission. Because UHRelief is mainly funded through private donations, we may exchange your personal information with our third-party financial service providers.

Please note: We are aware of and sensitive to the issue of unsolicited e-mail (“spam”); therefore UHRelief will never rent, trade or sell your e-mail address to a third party for directed marketing of commercial products (we do not consider list sharing for charitable fundraising purposes to be commercial use). We may, from time to time, allow our service providers to draw conclusions regarding user behaviors from demographic and aggregated information.
