The Bay Area UASI (located at 1663 Mission St., Suite 320, San Francisco, CA 94103) (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values the privacy of our website visitors and stakeholders. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website [[www.bayareauasi.org](http://www.bayareauasi.org)] (the “Site”) and any associated digital services or resources (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using our Site/Services, you acknowledge that you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that identifies you directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, job title, organization, or other contact details, when you voluntarily provide such information (for example, via contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, job applications, vendor opportunities, or grant submission portals).

Non-Personal Information

We also collect data that does not personally identify you, such as browser type, operating system, IP address, device type, pages visited, time spent on the Site, referring URLs, and other usage analytics.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics or equivalent), and other tracking technologies to monitor and analyze the use of the Site, improve our Services, personalize user experience, and support website operations. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our Services (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and development).
To respond to your inquiries, process your requests, or provide you with the information or services you request (such as vendor opportunities, grant information, job applications, or general contact).
To send you newsletters, announcements, updates, or other communications if you have opted in to receive them.
To comply with legal obligations, governmental or regulatory requirements, and to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bay Area UASI, our stakeholders, and the public.

How We Share Information

We do **not sell** your personal information. We may share information as follows:

With service providers, vendors, or contractors who perform services on our behalf (for example, hosting, analytics, IT support, or communications) — these parties are required to safeguard your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
With government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities, if required by law, regulation, or legal process.
With other public agencies or partners, only as permitted or required for programs, grants, preparedness, or resilience initiatives, provided appropriate safeguards are in place.
In aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized form that does not identify individual visitors.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable laws (including California law, if you are a California resident), you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

To request access to the personal information we hold about you.
To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
To request deletion of your personal information (subject to certain exceptions).
To opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us.
To request information about how and to whom we have shared your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 10. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Third-Party Links & Embedded Content

Our Site may contain links to external websites or embedded content operated by other entities. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or operations of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit via links from our Site.

Accessibility & Open Data Considerations

As a public-safety regional entity engaged in grantmaking, preparedness, and resilience programming, we support transparency and accessibility. Our Site is designed to comply with federal and state accessibility standards wherever feasible. We may publish open data, resources, toolkits, or documents for public access. These materials are generally available without personal information collection—but if you submit information (for example, via a sign-up form or registration), the general provisions of this policy apply.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age threshold in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
