Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 28, 2026
Ubuntu Cultural Pavilion (“UCP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit ucpavilion.info, contact us, make a donation, register for an activity, or share a story or artifact with us.
Information you provide
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and the information you include in a form or message. If you submit a story, photograph, document, or information about an artifact, we may also receive details about the people, places, and events it describes.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information about yourself or others unless it is necessary for your request. Sending material to UCP does not automatically grant us permission to publish it. We will discuss any intended public use of submitted stories, images, or artifacts with you separately.
Donations and payments
When you follow a link to donate, a third-party payment provider may collect your payment and contact information under its own privacy policy. UCP may receive information needed to acknowledge your gift and maintain donation records, such as your name, donation amount, and contact details. Please review the payment provider’s privacy policy before completing a donation.
Information collected when you visit
Our website and its hosting or security services may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the time of your visit. The site may use cookies or similar technologies needed for its operation, security, or measurement. Your browser settings may allow you to limit or delete cookies.
How we use information
We use information to respond to inquiries, review submissions, coordinate donations and programs, send communications you have requested, maintain and improve the website, protect it from misuse, and meet applicable recordkeeping obligations.
When we share information
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, process donations, manage communications, or deliver programs. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights and safety of UCP and others. We do not share a submitted story or artifact for public display solely because you sent it to us.
Links to other websites, including donation services and social media platforms, lead to services with their own privacy practices.
How long we keep information
We retain information for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to you, managing historical submissions, maintaining donation records, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may differ by type of information.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information in our care. No website or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Children’s privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience. Children should ask a parent or guardian before submitting personal information, a story, or an image through the website.
Your choices and questions
You may ask us about information you have submitted, request a correction or deletion, or ask to stop receiving optional communications. Some information may need to be retained for legal or administrative reasons. To make a request or ask a privacy question, contact us at info@ucpavilion.org.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our website and activities change. The effective date above will show when it was last revised.
