Our Commitment to Privacy
As a nonprofit organization, MCUSBP, Inc. places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our website users and visitors so that they can feel comfortable while browsing our site. This policy explains the types of information that is collected by the MCUSBP, Inc. website, misscaribbean.org, and how this information is used.

 Information We Collect

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on the MCUSBP, Inc. website. On some pages, you can make requests, join as a member, make a donation, register for an event, and sign up to receive materials. The types of personal data collected on these pages include name, email address, mailing address, credit card information, and so forth. On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you make a donation and wish to honor a specific person, you will be asked to submit the recipient’s name and mailing address.

​IP addresses are used to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer misscaribbean.org, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

​Cookies are small digital signature files that are stored by your web browser that allow your preferences to be recorded while visiting misscaribbean.org, during e-commerce transactions, and to track return visits. Third party advertising companies may also use cookies for their own tracking purposes when you click on their web banners. You may be able to block cookies via your browser settings but this may prevent you from access to certain features of the MCUSBP, Inc. website.

​​How We Use Information

Information that you provide about yourself when placing an order (membership, donation, registration, etc.) at misscaribbean.org is used only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to finalize that order, e.g., secure credit card processing services (Paypal.com) which are used to process monetary transactions.

Return email addresses are used to answer the email messages we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

​​Non-identifying and aggregate data is shared with our advertisers and used to better design our website. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain page on our website, or that Y number of people filled out our online registration form. We do not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

​​Your email address may be placed on our list for e-news and e-announcements, which contain ways for you to “opt-out” either now or at any time in the future if you do not wish to receive our messages.

​​We do not sell, rent, or lease email addresses to anyone outside MCUSBP, Inc. We also do not share personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above, except where you explicitly give permission.
