UCF Privacy Statement

The United Church Foundation (UCF) respects its participants’ privacy and considers protecting that privacy part of its fiduciary responsibility.

Here’s a brief description of the confidential information we maintain, how we protect it, and what is done and not done with it.

The UCF maintains the names, addresses and account balances of its participants in a confidential and secure computer environment that is accessible only to select UCF staff on a need-to-know basis.

For security purposes, this network is a standalone system. Assigned user IDs and passwords are required to access the contents of this record keeping system.

Misuse of this information for any unauthorized purpose is cause for dismissal. Names of nearby participating churches might be shared, with their permission, with a church that is considering participation in the UCF, as a business reference. UCC Planned Giving Associates and other UCC Conference officials may also request a list of participating churches within that conference.

Divulging any other information in the system to unauthorized persons is considered misuse, and is strictly and expressly forbidden.

The UCF does not exchange information about the balances in a participant’s account with anyone, either within or outside the United Church of Christ.

The UCF also maintains separate mailing lists of the names and addresses of certain individuals from the churches and church related institutions it serves. These individuals tend to be members of the investment and/or finance committees of these churches and agencies, or other individuals interested in the asset management services provided by the UCF. This mailing list is used to widen the circle of individuals who receive the quarterly newsletter, UCFocus, and other publications prepared and distributed by UCF from time to time. It is not shared, exchanged or sold to anyone for any purpose.

The contents of the UCF computerized record keeping system and/or the UCF mailing lists are confidential and UCF proprietary, and are used only for the internal administration, account maintenance, and marketing purposes for which they were created.
