Privacy Policy
Last updated November 4, 2026
The United Inventors Association (UIA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This policy explains what information we collect through uiausa.org, including the UIA Day pages, how we use it, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Information you give us. Your name, email, phone number and any details you enter when you join the UIA, register for an event, donate, or send us a message.
- Payment information. Donations and membership payments are processed by our payment providers (Stripe and Zoho). They collect your card or bank details directly. The UIA never sees or stores your full card number.
- Email preferences. If you choose to receive UIA news and inventor tips, we keep a record of that choice.
Our website does not use advertising trackers or sell-your-data cookies.
How we use it
- To process your donation or membership and send your receipt
- To send event details, such as the UIA Day link and schedule
- To answer messages you send us
- To send UIA news and inventor tips, only if you opted in
- To keep the records a nonprofit is required to keep, such as donation records for tax purposes
Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the UIA, such as our payment processors (Stripe, Zoho), our meeting platform (Zoho Meeting) and our web host. They may use it only to provide those services to us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from UIA emails at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us.
- Ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you.
Keeping it safe
We use secure (HTTPS) connections and trusted payment providers, and we limit access to member and donor information to the people who need it to run the UIA.
Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
If we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new date.
