The information we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, and how we protect it, along with the tools you can use to manage your privacy.
Effective date: 22nd Dec 2022
When you use Ummatin.com to find, rate or review a non-profit, we know you’re trusting us with your data. We also know we have a responsibility to respect your privacy, and we work hard to do just that. This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, and how we protect it, along with the tools you can use to manage your privacy.
We offer a wide range of services that focus on non-profits including discovering, rating, reviewing, pledging for donations and pledging for volunteering,
We know that everyone’s journey for associating with the non-profit is different, and that deciding on the right non-profit for donating and volunteering is an intimate, personal experience. Along with a wealth of information about non-profits, we also use the information you give us about non-profits to help users discover non-profits.
We carefully evaluate how we use data to make sure that we’re using your information to provide value for you. On this page, we aim to explain everything you need to know about your privacy at Ummatin. If you have any questions that we haven’t answered here, you can always contact us at support@ummatin.com.
When you use our services, we collect a variety of information from and about you and your devices. Some of this information identifies you directly (like an email address) while some of it is associated with you through your account, profile, or device (like the non-profits you choose to bookmark or your location data).
The kind of data we collect about you depends on how you use Ummatin. If you only use our services to browse for non-profits, we’ll have less information about you than if you use Ummatin for managing the profile of the non-profit, review non-profits or if you use any of our other services. Even if you don’t have an account with us, we may still collect some data about you, like your email address and phone number if you choose to contact us through our platform, or your IP address and other device information when you browse our sites or use our apps.
When you use our services, we often ask you for information about yourself. This usually includes basic things like your name, email address, and phone number. If you contribute information, such as non-profit reviews, we’ll store that as well.
You may also provide information about other non-profits through our services. For example, if you share a non-profit with someone, we will collect that person’s email address as part of your account information.
Ummatin collects information from public sources, such as county and state tax and property records, government agencies, and multiple listing services (or MLS). Most of this information is about non-profits, not people. But some information we collect, like the identity of a non-profit’s board of directors or non-profit license information, may relate to individuals.
Along with the information you give us directly, we collect a variety of information automatically as you use Ummatin services.
We collect information about how you use Ummatin. This includes things like your non-profit search history, non-profits you view, reviews, what you’ve clicked on and other uses of our features, and the amount of time you spend looking at different parts of our websites. When you call or text Ummatin or a non-profit using our platform, we collect data about your call or text, including the date and time of the call or text, your phone number, and the content of the call or text.
Like other websites and apps, we collect data about the browsers and devices you use to access Ummatin. The data we collect includes browser or device model and settings, operating system, unique identifiers, and the version of the app/website you’re using. We also collect data about how your browsers and devices interact with our services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and the URL of the site you visited before Ummatin.
You can control our collection of certain data, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.
If you enable location services on your mobile device, Ummatin collects the location of your device. We use that information to provide you with location-based information, like non-profits in your area, and to offer location-based services, like allowing you to check out projects happening in on your area. If you don’t want to use these features, you can turn off location services on your device.
We also collect location information for similar purposes from your browser if you enable it. You can disable access through your browser settings.

When you use Ummatin, we and our partners may use cookies and other tools to gather information about how you view and use our services and content, and to connect your activity with other data we store about you. The use of cookies helps us serve you better by understanding what you’re interested in, tracking trends, saving your preferences, and storing information you may want to retrieve on a regular basis, such as your favorite non-profits. We also allow specific, approved partners to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies or similar tools.
At any time, you can use our cookie preference. You can also disable cookies altogether by adjusting the settings on your browser. However, if you choose to disable some or all cookies, many parts of our services may no longer work.

We use your information to provide our services to you. This includes things like returning non-profit search results and processing your paid listings. We also use your information to improve our existing services and develop new ones. For example, we track how you use our websites and apps and use that information to troubleshoot issues and adjust things to improve your experience.
We use the contact information you provide us, like your phone number and email address, to communicate with you about our services. This includes things like responding to comments, reviews, and requests you send us. It also includes notifying you of service updates and changes. We may also inform you about our services, promotions, news, and other updates we think may be of interest to you. If you ask us to, we also use your information to connect you to non-profits.
We use the information we collect about you and your activity on our services to personalize the services we offer. We also use it to show content, or features that we think you might like. This includes things like customized search results that match your preferences and prior search criteria and, if you ask us to, connecting you to a non-profit best suited to help you.
Occasionally, there may be a reason we’d like to use your information in a way that isn’t described here. If that happens, we’ll let you know so you can decide if you’re comfortable with it.
We understand that sharing information with third parties is a big responsibility. We’re committed to sharing information only when needed for a legitimate business or legal purpose, and then only with recipients who will protect it.
We share information when you ask us to share it. For example, if you choose to contact a non-profit through our platform, we will send them your name and contact information. Similarly, if you pledge for donation through Ummatin, your application information will be sent to the non-profit you select.
When Ummatin hires a employees or contractor to help operate our business, we may need to give them access to information to provide their service. We allow them to use the information only to perform the service we’ve asked them to perform. We vet all service providers carefully, and Ummatin always remains responsible for the privacy of your information that is shared with our employees and contractors.
When Ummatin partners with other businesses to offer products and services to you, we may share information with those partners only as needed to provide those products and services and only subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
When Ummatin needs to share data to satisfy a legal or regulatory requirement, including responding to a subpoena or other lawful government request for data, we will share information only as necessary to comply with that requirement. We’ll tell you before sharing your information in these situations unless we’re prohibited from doing so. For more information about how we respond to requests for data, see Government and Civil Information Requests. We may also share information if needed to enforce our legal rights, detect or prevent fraud or security concerns, and protect public safety.
If Ummatin is involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of transfer or sale of some or all of its business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, we may share your information in connection with that transaction.
We may share information that is collected from public sources or that you choose to share publicly (such as public reviews) with third parties. We may also share aggregated and/or open information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

We are always reviewing our privacy practices to make sure they comply with this policy. Sometimes, we’ll need to update the policy to reflect changes in our products, technology, and uses of data. We won’t change the policy in a way that reduces your rights or significantly changes the way we use or share data without telling you ahead of time and giving you a chance to stop using our services if you want.
