INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we learn from users helps us provide the Service by communicating with users. Here are the types of information we gather:
INFORMATION YOU GIVE US
Personal Information: When you fill out a contact form on our website, we ask you for certain limited personally identifiable information such as your name and email address, which we will use to contact you and send you the information you request and, if applicable, to create your account. You can choose not to provide us with any or all of the information we specify or request, but then you may not be able to receive communications from us.
AUTOMATIC INFORMATION COLLECTED
Like many other websites, we also collect information through cookies and other automated means. Information of this sort includes:
Technical information about your browser and mobile device: This information is used in the aggregate to help us optimize the Service for common browsers and devices.
Usage information, such as the features and emails from Unite in Africa that you interact with: We do not currently but may in the future collect and use this behavioral information and use it in anonymized and aggregate forms to generate statistics about users and how the Service is being used and to facilitate targeted communications and advertisements. This information would not be shared in any form that could be used to identify you personally. Please see “How we use and share the information we collect,” below, for further information and choices about sharing information with third parties.
IP address and log file information, web beacons, cookies, tokens and device identifiers: These are alphanumeric identifiers that help us to distinguish between unique browsers and devices in order to avoid showing you the same information twice, prevent duplicate actions, and improve your experience. The information we collect from cookies may include your IP address, browser and device characteristics, referring URLs, and a record of your interactions with our Service. By using the Service, you are consenting to such use of cookies. Most Web browsers can be set to inform you when a cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. We will respect your choices relating to on-line tracking, whether you choose to reject individual cookies or set your web browser to reject cookies and other tracking technology. However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or negatively impact the display or function of, the Service or certain areas or features of the Service.
Crashes and error reports: If you encounter a crash or error while using our Service, we may generate a crash report that includes technical and usage information so that we can diagnose and potentially prevent the problem in the future.
INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM OTHER SOURCES
We may also periodically obtain non-personal information about users from third parties that you have authorized us to access. These parties may install tracking scripts and cookies when you integrate them with the Service. This policy only covers the use of cookies by Unite in Africa. Cookies placed by third party services are governed by the third party terms and privacy policies applicable to those services (which we encourage you to read).
LAWFUL BASIS TO INFORMATION PROCESSING

We may also share your information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution or similar event.
HOW WE STORE AND PROTECT THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Unite in Africa uses reasonable security measures to store and protect the information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. However, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
We use a variety of information security measures to protect your online transactions with us. The Service uses encryption technology to protect your sensitive personal information during data transport.
We want you to feel confident using the Service. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or other communications will always remain secure. We will notify you by email if we have reason to believe that your personal information has been compromised due to a security breach or used in an unauthorized manner, but by using this Service, you agree to release us from any and all claims arising out of unauthorized use of your information.
