Universal Muslim Association ("UMAA") is committed to respecting and protecting the
privacy of visitors to our web sites as well as the privacy of our actual members.
For visitors, we've structured our web sites so that, in general, you can visit us

For members, once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (any
information by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only
be used to support your member relationship with UMAA
Visitors to Our Web Site
What information do we collect?
When you visit our web site, our web server collects basic user information about
you that includes your ISP's domain, the time you accessed our web site, and the pages
from within our web site that you visit.
We may at times also use cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web
site can store in a designated file on your computer. Cookies allow a web application
to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about
your preferences, the web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes,
and dislikes.
Our web server does not collect your e-mail address or aggregate information on what
other pages on the Web you have accessed or visited.
How do we use this information?
The basic user information collected is used to help us analyze web traffic and to
improve the content of our web site. Cookies may be used to facilitate your member
interaction with us. For example, we may use a cookie on the landing page of products
sold online which record the member information that is required on the order form,
and then forward this information to our internal sales tracking database.
We may from time to time disclose to third parties aggregate information on our web
site's traffic profile. For example, Internet advertising companies may require this
data to help us better target our advertisements on our web site(s) and/or other web
sites.
Note that our site provides links to products and services offered by other companies;
the company's web site that you link to will be able to determine that you linked
from our web site.
umaamerica.org's Members
What information do we collect?
When you sign up for UMAA's services, you provide us with both contact and payment
information. Contact information typically includes your name, address, and phone
number. Payment information typically includes your credit card number.
While you are a UMAA member, we manage information with regard to your account status,
choice of services, and member logs. In addition, we may store members' electronic
mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery
of those communications.
How do we use this information?
We use the contact information you provide us to establish our service for you. We
use payment information for payment processing purposes only. We create and maintain
other information such as member account status, choice of services, and member logs
in the normal course of providing service.
UMAA may share member information with selected partners/third parties, for example,
to provide you with information about products which might be of interest to you or
to enable you to take advantage of special partner programs. UMAA may also use member
information to provide members with system information or information about new or
upgraded products.
We will not otherwise disclose member personal and account information unless we have
reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make
contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering
with the rights or property of UMAA, our members, or others, or where UMAA has a good
faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.
UMAA also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the
contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that UMAA stores
or transmits for its members. The circumstances under which UMAA will disclose such
electronic member communications are when:
It is necessary in order to provide service to the member;
It is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of UMAA and its members;
It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process
that UMAA determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently
obtained by UMAA and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
Members may opt out of receiving newsletters and/or notices of news from UMAA by contacting us.
In this request, members must identify their user name, email and contact information.
Please note, however, that UMAA reserves the right to send bulletins and other important
information regarding our services at our discretion.
