UMMSFoundation.org is recognized for our commitment to safeguarding contributor privacy on our Web site. We operate under the following set of strict privacy principles:
The only information UMMSFoundation.org obtains about individual visitors/contributors to its Web site is that supplied voluntarily by visitors/contributors.
In cases when UMMSFoundation.org may need personal information to provide visitors with customized content or to inform them about new features or services, visitors are explicitly asked for that information.
Personally identifiable information provided by visitors (e.g., name, e-mail or home address, etc.) will not be disclosed to any other party. If at such time, UMMSFoundation.org believes it would be in the benefit of site visitors and contributors to share this information with other organizations, visitors would be explicitly asked if this would be permissible.
UMMSFoundation.org is not designed for use by children nor does the Web site seek to collect information on children who may visit the site.
UMMSFoundation.org employs strict security measures to safeguard all online financial transactions including using a secure server to host files and forms used in completing transactions. Personal contributor information is stored in a secure database and any data sent to third parties to complete a transaction is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. UMMSFoundation.org does not store contributors' credit card information for your privacy.
Further details on our information gathering, use, and privacy practices for UMMSFoundation.org are below.
To determine the number of visitors to our site and the most/least-visited pages on the site, UMMSFoundation.org gathers statistical information on a monthly basis to understand how the public is using the site. These statistical reports do not contain any personal information on visitors to the site.
We may ask you personal information such as your email address to provide news and information, which you have elected to receive. Instances where this could occur include promotions/contests, signing up to receive email updates, etc. Any information collected by UMMSFoundation.org is not shared with any other party. UMMSFoundation.org may use this information, at some point in time, to notify you by email of additions to the Web site, upcoming events, or to convey other important UMMS-related information.
When making contributions or registering for an event, UMMSFoundation.org allows users to create a username (your email address) and a password that can be used in subsequent transactions to call up your contributor information such as your mailing address (so you can receive a receipt for your transaction). This utility is provided as a convenience to you. UMMSFoundation.org does not use information collected in this manner for any other purpose.
Following your contribution or event registration, UMMSFoundation places a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. These cookies are used only to thank you for your contribution upon your return to the UMMSFoundation.org Web site. Should cookies be used for additional reasons in the future, UMMSFoundation will update this Privacy Statement.
If your contributor information (e.g., mailing address, email address, etc.) changes, you may notify UMMSFoundation of these changes through the site by the following means:
