Umbrella Internet Privacy Policy

Umbrella is committed to responsible information handling practices. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself, but sometimes we need information to provide services that you request. This privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. By visiting our Web site, you consent to the information practices described in this policy.

 This Privacy Policy does not apply to other Web sites that may be accessible through this site. Our site contains links to other sites that are operated by third parties, including but not limited to third party sites that display the Umbrella logo. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of those other sites to learn how they collect and use information about you.

 What information does Umbrella collect and how is the information used?

Information You Provide to Us - We may obtain personally identifiable information about you ONLY if you elect to give us that information.

Information Collected Automatically - When you visit our Web site, we automatically collect information about your visit that does not identify you personally. We can tell the type of computer, browser, and Web service you are using. We also know the date, time, and pages you visit. Collecting this information helps us design the site to suit your needs.

 Generally, our uses of information collected online include:

  • Respond to your inquiry about volunteering time to Umbrella

Does Umbrella SHARE the information I’ve provided?

Umbrella may need to share personal information with third parties in limited circumstances. For example, we may release personal information to third parties to perform services on our behalf such as: advising you of our upcoming events, products, volunteer opportunities, or processing credit card payments.  E-mail addresses provided for the express purpose of subscribing to our newsletter and action alerts will only be used by Umbrella to transmit the requested information.  We will never trade, rent, sell or otherwise distribute your e-mail address.

From time to time, we may be required to provide personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
