UFW Foundation Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 22, 2025
The UFW Foundation (“UFWF,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients, donors, and supporters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, programs, or services.
Information We Collect
We collect information from you when you interact with us online or in person, such as when you register on our site, subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, complete a form, sign up for an event or consultation, or respond to a survey. When doing so, you may be asked to provide personal details including your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or payment information. Payment details are processed securely by trusted third-party providers and are never stored in full on UFW Foundation servers.
In addition to the information you provide, we may automatically collect certain anonymous data when you visit our website. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, geographic location, and details about the pages you visit. This information does not personally identify you and is used only in aggregate to help us understand how our website is used, improve its design and functionality, and support outreach and educational efforts.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
Information We Obtain from Third Parties
We may also obtain information about you from third parties, including vendors and service providers who collect information on our behalf. For example, companies that support our site and services, such as GiveButter, may collect or process information to help us manage communications and outreach. Our payment processors collect information such as your bank account or credit card details and billing address in order to securely process donations or payments for services you request.
When you visit our website, open or click on emails we send, or interact with our services or advertisements, we or third parties working with us may automatically collect information using tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixels, software development kits, and third-party libraries.
Any information we receive from third parties is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy. While we take steps to ensure that vendors we work with handle information responsibly, we are not responsible for the accuracy of information they provide or for the privacy policies or practices of those third parties. For more details, see the section on Third-Party Websites and Links below.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used to provide the services and programs you request, process and acknowledge donations, register you for events, and communicate with you about our mission and activities. We may use your information to send newsletters, advocacy alerts, or program updates if you choose to receive them. Information may also be used to improve the look, feel, and content of our website, to measure the effectiveness of outreach, and to comply with legal and financial obligations.
We may retain details of your donations, registrations, or other transactions as required for tax, audit, or reporting purposes.
Disclosure of Information
It is the policy of the UFW Foundation not to sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We will only share your information under limited circumstances: when it is necessary to process donations or services you request; when we work with trusted third-party providers who help us operate our website, communications, or programs and who are required to keep your information confidential; or when required by law through a subpoena, court order, or similar legal process.
We may also share information when necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of our staff, clients, or community. Otherwise, your information is not disclosed to outside parties. Non-identifiable visitor data, such as website traffic patterns, may be used in reports, outreach, or marketing but does not include personal identifiers.
Security and Retention of Your Information
Please be aware that no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection of your data. Any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit, and we encourage you not to use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The length of time we keep your information may vary depending on factors such as the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, and legal or operational requirements. For example, we may retain records to comply with financial and audit obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce contracts and organizational policies.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website uses cookies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics to better understand visitor behavior and improve the site experience. Cookies allow us to recognize returning visitors and track site usage. You may choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may limit some website functionality.
Third-Party Links
From time to time, our website may contain links to third-party sites. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices or content. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any linked sites they visit.

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA. These include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request access to or deletion of your information, and the right to be free from discrimination for exercising your privacy rights. UFW Foundation does not sell personal information.
