This website is owned and operated by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia (UUCC), referred to in this policy as “we”.  We recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information.  This privacy policy addresses those concerns.  This policy may be changed or updated from time to time.

If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, feel free to contact us.  We are available to answer your questions or hear your concerns.

The first principle of Unitarian Universalism is to covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person.  We believe that this principle impels us to protect the privacy of visitors.

Website Use By Children

If you are under 13, be sure to obtain your parent’s or guardian’s permission before you send any personal information (for example, your name, address, e-mail address, etc.) to us or anyone else over the Internet. We encourage parents to get involved with their children’s online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating.

Personal Information

Our site collects personal information from our visitors only on a voluntary basis. Personal information may include: name, address, phone number, email address, and credit card numbers. We do not require this information to obtain access to any part of our site. We do not sell or rent this personal information to other organizations.

The personal information we collect is only used by us to process a request that has been placed by the visitor. We never sell your email address and if you voluntarily give it to us, we will strive to use it only for what it was intended. If we pass it, it would only be to the congregation or person who has the information you desire.

Use of Photographs

Photographs of church activities will be posted on our website and used occasionally in our newsletter or other promotional materials. Personal identification information such as names will not be associated with any photograph unless identification is warranted and permission of the individual or parent (guardian) of the person photographed has been obtained.

If you see a photograph of yourself or your child that you prefer not to be included on the website, or if you would like to insure that no photo of you or your child is used for these purposes, please contact us.
