Privacy Policy

UNSIN INCORPORATED (“UNSIN,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a nonprofit organization based in Miami, Florida. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you.

For the purposes of this policy, personal information means any information relating to you as an individual that could reasonably be used to identify you. This policy applies to unsin.org and to any related sites, forms, events, programs and services where a link or reference to this policy is provided. Your use of our website, attendance at our events, and participation in our programs constitute acknowledgment of the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the site or provide information to us.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use.

1. Information we collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal information. We may combine information collected from different sources for any of the purposes described in Section 2.

Event and program data. When you register for, attend or participate in a UNSIN event, panel, workshop or program, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, city, organizational affiliation, professional role, accessibility requirements, dietary requirements, and photographic or video footage in which you appear. If you provide information about another person — a guest, a colleague, an artist on your roster — you confirm that you are entitled to share it with us and that we may process it as described here.

Communications and newsletter data. When you subscribe to our newsletter, complete a form, or contact us by email or social media, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Donation and payment data. When you donate, we collect your name, email address, billing address, donation amount and frequency, and any designation you specify. Payment card and bank details are processed directly by our third-party payment provider. UNSIN INCORPORATED does not store full payment card numbers. We retain donation records as required for tax receipting and for our reporting obligations.

Volunteer, partner and application data. When you volunteer, apply to partner with us, propose a panel, or express interest in working with us, we collect the information you submit through our forms, which may include your name, contact details, professional background, availability, areas of interest, and links to your work or organization.

Artist and speaker data. When you perform, speak or appear at a UNSIN event, we may collect and publish professional information including your name, artist or professional name, biography, photographs, country or region of origin, social and streaming links, and the details of your appearance. Where fees are paid, we collect the information necessary to pay you and to meet our tax and reporting obligations.

Technical and device data. When you visit our website, our servers and service providers may automatically collect your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring and exiting pages, and the dates and times of your visits.

2. How we use the information we collect

  • To deliver our programs, events and educational panels, and to manage registration and attendance
  • To communicate with you, including newsletters, event announcements and organizational updates you have requested
  • To process donations, issue acknowledgments and tax receipts, and maintain donor records
  • To pay artists, speakers and contractors, and to meet related tax and reporting requirements
  • To evaluate and improve our programming, including through surveys and feedback
  • To produce aggregate, non-identifying reporting for our funders, our board and the public
  • To document our work through photography, video and recordings, and to promote UNSIN and its programs
  • To respond to your questions, requests and applications
  • To administer, secure and improve the website
  • To comply with applicable laws, grant agreements and our internal policies
  • To establish, exercise or defend legal rights where necessary

3. Why we are permitted to use your information

We process personal information where one or more of the following applies: you have given us your consent; the processing is necessary to deliver something you asked for, such as event registration or a donation receipt; we have a legal, tax or grant-related obligation; or the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests as a nonprofit organization, including operating our programs, documenting our work, reporting to funders and protecting our community — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

4. When we share your information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

Service providers. We share information with vendors who help us operate, and only to the extent they need it. These include our email and newsletter provider, event registration and ticketing platforms, form providers, payment processors, website host, analytics providers, and accounting and bookkeeping services. Each is bound by its own obligations regarding your information.

Funders and reporting. We report to public and private funders on our programs and their outcomes. This reporting is normally aggregate and non-identifying. Where a grant agreement requires participant-level information, we will tell you at the point of collection.

Co-hosts and partner organizations. Some UNSIN events are produced with partners. Where an event is co-hosted, the partner organization may receive registration information for that event and will process it under its own privacy policy. We will identify co-hosts on the event listing.

Publicly. Artist and speaker information, including name, biography and photographs, is published as part of our programming. Attendee information is not published.

Legal and safety. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation or legal process, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of UNSIN INCORPORATED, our community or the public.

Organizational changes. In the event of a merger, dissolution or transfer of our programs to another organization, information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to this policy.

5. Photography, video and recording at our events

UNSIN events are photographed and recorded. By attending, you understand that you may be captured in photographs, video or audio, and you grant UNSIN INCORPORATED permission to use that material to document and promote our work, including on our website, in social media, in funder reporting and in press materials, without compensation.

Educational panels are often published publicly. If you speak from the audience, your question may appear in the published recording.

If you would prefer not to be photographed, tell a member of our team at the event. If material featuring you has already been published and you would like it removed, write to hello@unsin.org and we will make reasonable efforts to do so, though we may be unable to recall material already distributed by third parties or the press.

6. Third-party platforms used on this site

Parts of our site rely on third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

  • Luma — event listings, registration and ticketing
  • YouTube — embedded video of our educational panels
  • Tally — volunteer and partnership forms
  • Our payment processor — donation handling
  • Our newsletter provider — email delivery and open-rate measurement

When this content loads or you submit information through it, those services may collect information and set their own cookies. We do not control those practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses a small amount of browser storage to remember your language preference and whether you have dismissed our announcement bar. We may use analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate. Embedded third-party content may set additional cookies.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Do Not Track. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to browser do-not-track signals, and we do not currently respond to them. We cannot control how third parties respond.

8. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law and by our grant agreements. Donation and financial records are retained in line with applicable tax and nonprofit record-keeping requirements. Newsletter subscriptions are retained until you unsubscribe. Event registration records are retained for our reporting and historical record of our programming.

9. How we protect your information

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including restricting access to those who need it and relying on established providers for payment, registration and email. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International visitors

UNSIN INCORPORATED is based in the United States, and information we collect is processed and stored here. Our community includes artists and audiences from many countries. If you access our site or attend our events from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

11. Your rights and choices

  • Unsubscribe. Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link, effective immediately.
  • Access. You may ask what personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction. You may ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
  • Deletion. You may ask us to delete your information, subject to records we are required to keep — donation records in particular.
  • Objection and withdrawal of consent. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
  • Photography. You may ask us to remove material in which you appear, as described in Section 5.

To make a request, write to hello@unsin.org. We may need to verify your identity before acting. Depending on where you live, additional rights may apply under local law.

12. Children

Our website and programs are intended for a general and professional audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Some UNSIN events are open to all ages or attended by students; where a participant is a minor, we expect a parent or guardian to provide any required consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Links to other websites

Our site links to websites we do not operate, including those of artists, partners, funders and press outlets. We are not responsible for their content, policies or practices.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The revised version takes effect when posted, and the date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Where a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.
