What personal information does HOMIES UNIDOS collect and how is it used?

To make your experience more convenient, we gather information from you.

We collect personal information from visitors when they register to join an email alert list, subscribe to a newsletter, take action on an issue using our service, or make an in-kind donation.  This information includes: Your name and your address.  Any financial information acquired when making a donation is held securely and is never shared.  We may also monitor and track information such as visitor usage patterns of our web site, advocacy campaign participation, email engagement such as open rates and click-throughs. We compile this information into a statistical aggregate which we use for internal purposes including improving our web service, member communications and our client service.

The personal information we collect is always voluntarily submitted by you. This information is used by HOMIES UNIDOS to communicate with you in the future (if you have given your permission for such contact), to send messages from you to decision makers which you have authorized, and to understand your interests and activities. We keep confidential all personal information entered during registration.

Protecting Your Privacy

As part of our commitment to ensuring the privacy of our visitors, we do not sell or exchange names or any other personally identifiable information about our online visitors and members with, for example, mass marketers.

We also provide personal information to third parties on a completely confidential basis to enable a third party to perform certain tasks, such as maintain a membership database or send email alerts and/or newsletters, on our behalf. These third party providers are committed to protecting the privacy of our members and subscribers, and will not utilize your information for any other purpose but to provide the services which we contract for. We may share aggregate information about web site usage and traffic patterns, stripped of any personally identifiable information, to third parties to comply with various reporting obligations and for business or marketing purposes.
