This website is owned and operated by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Manchester, referred to in this policy as “we.” We recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information.

We are available to answer your questions or hear your concerns.

The first principle of Unitarian Universalism is to covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We believe that this principle impels us to protect the privacy of visitors.

The personal information we collect is only used by us to process a request that has been placed by the visitor. We never sell your email address and if you voluntarily give it to us, we will strive to use it only for what it was intended. If we pass it, it would only be to the congregation or person who has the information you desire.If you are or become a member of our congregation, your contact information will be shared with the Unitarian Universalist Association to enable your free subscription to UUWorld magazine. You may opt out by informing the Membership Committee.
