GENERAL
This Privacy Policy describes Unity 4 Humanity, Inc.’s practices concerning user privacy. Unity 4 Humanity, Inc. takes privacy seriously and only collects private/personal information volunteered by users (individuals and corporations) when absolutely necessary. Users can utilize most sites/.tv channels contained within U4H, Inc.’s Global Web Presence without sharing/revealing who they are, or providing any private/personal information about themselves or their corporation.
Some interactive abilities, products, and/or services offered on U4H, Inc. sites and .tv channels require that users identify themselves in order to satisfy requirements for interactive abilities, products and/or services. Users can always choose not to provide information of a private/personal nature, and that might prevent U4H, Inc. from personalizing services, or prevent that user from utilizing interactive services, products, and/or other services.
U4H, Inc. works hard to protect the security of private/personal information during transmission, and when stored. When utilizing any aspect of Unity 4 Humanity, Inc.’s Global Web Presence of sites and .tv channels users realize that the security of no system is completely foolproof, and U4H, Inc. is taking the security of users personal/private information seriously with security measures designed to protect and safeguard information responsibly. Some measures taken to protect personal information and data are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, secure servers in a secure hosting location, firewalls, controlled access, passwords, and encryption technology.
When utilizing any sites/.tv channels contained within Unity 4 Humanity, Inc.’s Global Web Presence, you are consenting to and agreeing with the use and disclosure of any personal information you have shared with U4H, Inc. as described in this Privacy Policy. Unity 4 Humanity, Inc.’s Global Web Presence of sites/.tv channels is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information gathered about individuals and corporations. U4H, Inc. appreciates the trust of individuals and corporations that we will use information carefully, logically, and sensibly.
All information provided to U4H, Inc. on any one of its sites/.tv channels in connection with products and/or services will be held, processed, and/or transmitted by/to only the appropriate and necessary parties. U4H, Inc. will not give or sell confidential or personal information about any individual/corporation to any third party not associated with their transaction, except as required by law or as otherwise articulated in this Privacy Policy. All third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any other purpose. All information/content of a personal/private nature transmitted to U4H, Inc. will be held and processed in the United States of America, and will conform to the laws governing data protection in the USA.
The personal/private information supplied and/or transmitted to U4H, Inc. is received and stored when individuals/corporations registrar, sign-up for, and/or purchase any number of services/products that require information of a personal/private nature. Such information may include: name, address, e-mail, telephone/fax number, and other data. Individuals and corporations are asked to provide accurate information to the best of their abilities, and if they chose to provide incomplete, inaccurate, or false information, that user might not be able to utilize features, products, and/or services offered by U4H, Inc.; ultimately resulting in a termination of there user privileges.
SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF INFORMATION
U4H, Inc. treats transmitted data as “assets” that must be protected against loss, unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, unlawful destruction, accidental loss, and/or distribution. U4H, Inc. utilizes security techniques including but not limited firewalls, access control procedures, and cryptography to appropriately protect personal/private information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside of U4H, Inc.

U4H, Inc. retains personal/private information about customers/corporations for business purposes and as required by government regulations.

CHILDRENS’ PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of children is of pinnacle importance, and a matter taken extremely seriously by Unity 4 Humanity, Inc. U4H, Inc. does not knowingly collect information of a private/personal nature, or maintain personally identifiable information from children 12 years of age or under. Some sites/.tv channels are designed specifically for kids 12 years of age or under, and they are designed in a fashion that does not allow these children to volunteer/submit information of a private/personal nature.
U4H, Inc. knowingly requests information from teenagers, and treats teenagers as young adults held accountable for their interactions/usage of sites/.tv channels intended for them. Parental consent is needed in all instances for individuals less than 18 years of age to view and/or utilize interactive services and/or products. U4H, Inc. makes reasonable efforts to ensure that a parent and/or guardian has authorized the submission/collection of a young adults data during any registration/sign in processes; and upon signing-up/registration processes are viewed as having parental consent.
If it comes to U4H, Inc.’s attention that personally identifiable information of persons less than 13 years of age has been collected on U4H, Inc. sites/.tv channels, or information from teenagers 13 years or older without parental consent, U4H, Inc. will take appropriate steps to delete/deactivate this information. Information volunteered by young adults is kept in the strictest confidence, utilized for identification and statistical purposes, and believed to have been transmitted with the consent of a parent/guardian. Although measures are taken to insure the security, handling, and confidentiality of personal/private information volunteered by users, there are no foolproof methods that can be implemented, and U4H, Inc. is not responsible to “parent,” censor, and/or limit the availability of information/content showcased on sites/.tv channels that are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age or that are intended for individuals under 18 years of age, but being utilized/viewed without the consent/knowledge of a parent/guardian.
