Data roles. For most services, UHF Canada acts as Data Controller. Where we host or process data on behalf of partner institutions, UHF may act as Data Processor under a written agreement.
We design our privacy and compliance program to meet or exceed the strictest applicable standards, including:
Canada: PIPEDA; CASL (anti-spam).
EU/EEA: GDPR (and ePrivacy rules).
United States: CCPA/CPRA (California), CAN-SPAM (email).

We share limited data with vetted vendors (hosting, email, analytics, learning tools) under contracts that require GDPR-level protections. Cross-border transfers use recognized mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses, UK addenda where needed, and/or participation by providers in recognized transfer frameworks). We only disclose data to authorities when legally required.

How: Email info@universalhumanityfoundation.org. We verify requests and respond within legal deadlines. Where available, we provide an encrypted self-service portal (English/French) to access or manage data.
We use defense-in-depth security: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3) and at rest, MFA for admins, role-based access, audit logs, and regular reviews. We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected (or longer if required by law, e.g., finance/audit). When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
Breach notice. We notify affected individuals and regulators without undue delay and within required timelines (e.g., 72 hours under GDPR).
We use a tiered consent banner compliant with GDPR/CPRA:
Essential cookies (security/session) – always on.
Analytics/Performance – opt-in in EEA/UK/Quebec; configurable elsewhere. IP anonymization is enabled for GA4.
You can change preferences any time via “Cookie Settings” in the footer. Browser-level controls may also be used.
Canadian users may pursue claims through the ADR Institute of Canada while US users can initiate proceedings via AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. Cross-border disputes will be resolved under UNCITRAL Model Law through our designated arbitration platform.
We comply with CASL (Canada) and CAN-SPAM (U.S.). We send promotional emails only with valid consent (or as permitted for nonprofits) and always include an unsubscribe link. Transactional/administrative emails may still be sent as needed for your account.
