Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 9, 2019

This Privacy Policy applies to the website you are currently viewing (http://www.umojamagazine.com/) hereinafter “the Site”). By visiting or using the Site, you consent to the data collection and use practices described in this policy. This Policy is intended to be read with, and not to limit, other terms of use, policies and Site-related agreements.

The Site is owned and maintained by Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc.

We collect the personal data that you may volunteer while using the Site and/or placing orders. We sometimes supplement the information that we receive with information from other sources and companies. Such outside information includes (but is not limited to) updated delivery and address information from carriers or third parties, which enables us to correct our records, page-view information, search term and search result information.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only through your parent or guardian. We track page views and click-stream data to compile aggregated statistics concerning use of the Site. We may use a variety of methods for automatically collecting such “passive” information. We are able to determine the IP address from which you access the Site. We may use information we collect on the Site to notify you about products and services offered by Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc. We may also contact you if we need additional information to fill an order you have placed or to provide information you have requested. We may sell information we collect on the Site in conjunction with the disposition of Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc.’ assets in bankruptcy and/or through merger or acquisition. Hopefully that will never have to happen.

We may also disclose information we collect on the Site to third-party service providers we retain, to provide reports, analyses or technical support to Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc. We employ security systems that we believe prevent most people from accessing your personal information through the Site. People who try and bypass security systems, or “hackers,” are often -very skilled at breaking through security systems, though, and therefore we can make no guarantee that your information will be 100% safe. But we will do everything in our power to keep it safe.

For your own information and protection on the Site and on the Internet in general, keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information, that information can be collected and used by others. Similarly, if you post personal information in public places, you may receive unsolicited e-mail messages. We reserve the right to disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process or government request served on us; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of a user of the Site, or the public.

You may contact us to update, correct and request information about the data we collect about you, by sending an email to: ycraig@umojamagazine.com. We may require proof of your identity before providing any such information. We reserve the right to refuse to provide you with a copy of your personal data, but we will give reasons for any such refusal. Appropriate reasons for refusal may include, but are not limited to: administrative burden; expense; and security concerns.

By visiting the Site, you accept that your visit and any dispute over privacy shall be subject to this Policy. Any such dispute shall be governed by the law of the state of Wisconsin, USA. If you have any concern about privacy issues, please contact us as directed in this Policy. This Policy applies only to the Site and not to any third-party website that may be accessed through hyper-links on the Site, including but not limited to third-party credit card processing services we may use to process orders on the Site. If you click on such a hyperlink, you may be taken away from the Site to an entirely different site. It is important to note that such other sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc. We reserve the right to occasionally update this Policy. We recommend that you periodically review this Policy.

We welcome feedback regarding this Policy. If at any time you believe that the Site has not adhered to this Policy, please contact Umoja Magazine-Madison, Inc., and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly investigate and, if necessary, correct the problem. E-mail should be sent to ycraig@umojamagazine.com.
