What Information Does UCP Collect?
To maximize the benefits provided by
this site, we encourage all users to use
the UCP feedback form, which is linked
directly to the home page. Without this
information, you would be anonymous to
us and it would limit our ability to
provide the most useful services to our
users and supporters. The types of
information requested include your name,
address, zip code, e-mail address,
telephone number, and organization.
There is also a "comments" section where
you can enter additional information.
Beyond the feedback form, we offer the
option of making tax deductible
donations to UCP with a credit card and
will collect the information needed to
make those transactions.
Opportunity to Decide Whether to
Provide Information
Provision of the information described
above is strictly voluntary. Although we
hope most users of the site will use the
feedback form, it is your choice to do
so and access to the site is not
dependent on providing the information.
How is the Personal Information
Used?
The information you provide to us in the
feedback form, including any information
and views included in the comments
section, will be used to learn more
about the community we serve, to provide
individual users access to information,
products and services that best fit
their interests and needs, and to have a
way of contacting you in the future
regarding the activities and services of
UCP and its many affiliates. If after
providing this information to us, you
decide at some point that you no longer
wish to be contacted regarding the
benefits and services we provide, you
can simply contact us by e-mail and stop
the use of your personal information in
this manner. With respect to any use of
your credit card on this site, such
information of course will be covered by
our software protection program and its
use will be strictly limited to
completing the specific transaction with
the credit card company.
Will the Personal Information I
Provide Be Given to Third Parties?
In order to further strengthen this
organization and expand the services we
offer to the community, UCP has entered
into a number of corporate partnerships
with leading American companies. These
corporate partners offer products and
services in which many of our supporters
are interested, and the business
generated through these partnerships
directly benefits UCP as well. The only
personal information we provide to these
partners at this time is your name and
address from the feedback form. However,
if you provide this information in the
UCP feedback form but do not want it
given to anyone else, you have the
opportunity online to opt not to have
this information provided to our
corporate sponsors or other third
parties.
Are "Cookies" Used On This Site?

sent to your browser from a Web server
which is stored on your computer's hard

Aggregate Survey Information
We will protect any personal information
you provide as described above, however,
UCP reserves the right to use
aggregated, anonymous data about our
users as a group. This data does not
contain any personally identifiable
information. For instance, we might
report to current or potential partners
or advertisers that a certain percentage
of our users live in a specific area of
the country, or represent certain types
of organizations, or have certain types
of interests. This type of survey
information is intended to allow a more
targeted selection of benefits and
opportunities for our users as a group.
Other Potential Disclosure of
Information
UCP may also disclose account
information in special cases when we
have reason to believe that disclosing
this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be (1) violating
UCP's
Terms of Service or (2) causing
injury to or interference with our
rights or property, other UCP users, or
anyone else who could be harmed by such
actions. UCP may also access or disclose
account information when we believe in
good faith that the law requires it and
for other administrative purposes
necessary to maintaining the site.
