Please read our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy carefully before accessing and using our Services. By using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and our various privacy practices as described in this Privacy Policy.

If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page with a revised effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to look for updates and changes to this Privacy Policy by checking this site when you access our Services.

UH collects personal information when you interact with our Services. Personal information is any information that identifies or makes an individual identifiable. The definition of personal information depends on the applicable law based on your physical location. Only the definition that applies to your physical location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy.
The types of personal information that we may collect about you include, but is not limited to: information you provide to us, information collected automatically about your use of our Site and Apps, information from third parties, and information received from other sources to help us supplement our records, improve the personalization of our Services to you, and to detect fraud.
UH will only use your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy or as disclosed to you prior to such processing taking place. The purposes for which we may use your personal information include:
UH will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data or the information you provided to us to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies. We will retain your marketing contact information until you unsubscribe from our marketing communications. We will also retain Site and Apps usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Services, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
In order to provide service to you, we may send you communications related to your transactions, security, or the administration of this website. From time to time, we may also send you other messages or updates about UH, our Site, and our other activities. If you do not wish to receive non-transaction or security-related communications from us, you may opt-out by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the communication or by contacting us as specified in the “Contact Us” section, below.
You may also update information about your donor or volunteer account with us. We will update and correct your donor profile if you wish to make changes.
Please note that “opt-out” and “unsubscribe” requests may not take effect immediately and may take a reasonable amount of time to receive, process and apply, during which time your information shall remain subject to the prior privacy settings. Additionally, you should be aware that any information provided to third parties prior to your election to opt-out or unsubscribe will not be retrieved or rescinded, unless required by applicable law.
Similarly, you may opt in to receive text messages, telephone calls and mailings.
You have the right to access, correct and delete your personal information that you shared with us on our Services or through other written or oral means, subject to certain limitations. We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is kept accurate and up to date. However, it is up to you to update it with any changes.
You may also notify us via the information in the “Contact Us” section below to request access to, or to correct any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to delete or change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect, such as for maintaining a record of donors.
If you no longer wish to have your personal information be processed, you may request to delete your donor or volunteer account, subject to certain limitations, by contacting us as described below. Once you submit your request, we will send an email to the email address linked to your donor or volunteer account requesting that you confirm your deletion request. Once you confirm your request, this process cannot be cancelled, undone, withdrawn, or reversed. When your account is deleted, all associated personal information is deleted.
This section applies only to California residents.
California Civil Code §1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at the address provided below in the “Contact Us” section.
UH is a not-for-profit accrediting organization and, as such, does not fall within the scope of the definition of “business” set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et. seq. (“CCPA”), and therefore is not subject to that law.
Although the CCPA does not apply to UH, the below section voluntarily organizes the information found elsewhere in this Privacy Policy in a manner intended to be useful for California residents.
For California residents only, below is a summary of the “Personal Information” categories as identified and defined by the CCPA (see California Civil Code section 1798.140(o)) that we collect, the reason we collect this Personal Information, where we obtain the Personal Information, and the third parties with whom we may share your Personal Information.
As described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we generally collect the following categories of Personal Information about you when you use our Services:
We collect your Personal Information for the business purposes described in Section 3, above. The CCPA defines a “business purpose” as the use of Personal Information for the business’s operational purposes, or other notified purposes, provided the use of Personal Information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose for which the Personal Information was collected or another operational purpose that is compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected.
The categories of third parties with whom we may share your Personal Information are listed in Section 4, above.
Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, then under the CCPA you have rights in relation to your Personal Information; however, your rights are subject to certain exceptions. For instance, businesses subject to the CCPA—which UH is not—cannot disclose specific pieces of Personal Information if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the Personal Information, your account, or the security of a business’s network systems. Although UH is not subject to the CCPA, we note that California residents generally benefit from the following rights:
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. All personal information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL or other encryption technology, or will use our third-party payment processors, who will use appropriate security procedures.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Services.
This section only applies to individuals that access or use our Services while located in the EEA, United Kingdom and/or Switzerland (collectively, the “Designated Countries”). We may ask you to identify which country you are located in when you use some of our Services or we may rely on your IP address to identify which country you are located in.
When we rely on your IP address, we cannot apply the terms of this section to any individual that masks or otherwise hides their location information from us so as not to appear located in the Designated Countries. If any terms in this section conflict with other terms contained in this Policy, the terms in this section shall apply to users in the Designated Countries.

Our Services may be linked to, rely on and be integrated with websites, applications, interfaces, services and platforms operated by other companies, including third-party services. The Services may also feature advertisements from these companies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites, applications, interfaces, services and platforms operated by third parties that are linked to, rely on and/or integrated with our Services or for the privacy practices of third-party advertising companies. Once you leave our Services via a link, access a third-party service or click on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policies to determine, among other things, how related companies process personal information they may collect about you. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by UH.
Our Services may include a community environment or forum for individuals to discuss topics of their choosing. Unless a commenter or poster is identified as an official UH moderator or has an officially verified UH account, UH has no responsibility for the content, advice, transmissions, or other communications made within such a forum.
Our Services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If a child under 13 provided our Services with personal information, we ask that a parent or guardian contact us as described below so that we may promptly delete the child’s information from our record.
We welcome your questions, comments, and concerns about privacy. You can contact us anytime via our Site located at https://israelrescue.org/blog/contact/, or as follows: [email protected]
