Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 05/06/2025
Who We Are
The One Unity Project ("OUP," "we," "us") is a nonprofit fostering human-AI collaboration to advance global unity through our EVOLVE framework. Our website is https://oneunityproject.org. Contact us at admin@oneunityproject.org.
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Protecting your data reflects our EVOLVE values—respecting individual contributions while serving collective goals. We collect minimal data, use it responsibly, and share results only in anonymized, aggregated form unless you give explicit consent.
What Data We Collect
- Information You Provide: Name, email (email is optional for project submissions but required for newsletter sign-ups), and responses via forms (e.g., "Message to the Aliens" or feedback surveys). We collect this with your consent.
- Automatically Collected: IP address, browser type, and device info via Wix cookies and optional analytics (e.g., Google Analytics). Email open/click data from our mailing platform. This is based on our legitimate interest in improving our site and services.
Note: If you're outside the U.S., we apply these principles to align with local privacy laws (e.g., GDPR).
How We Use Your Data
- Send newsletters or updates (only if you opt in)
- Analyze project responses to identify themes, reported only as anonymized statistics or de-identified quotes
- Improve our website's functionality and user experience
We never publish raw data or use it for profit.
How We Share Data
We don't sell or rent your data. We share it only with trusted processors under strict contracts:
- Wix.com (website hosting and analytics)
- Google LLC (Google Forms and Drive for secure storage)
- MailerLite or similar (email management)
These providers use encryption and may process data outside your country, complying with frameworks like the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Anonymization
Before analyzing or publishing results, we remove names, emails, and identifying details. Quotes are used only with explicit written consent (obtained via a separate consent form or email confirmation) or after full de-identification to ensure no individual can be identified.
Cookies & Tracking
- Essential Cookies: Required for site functionality (non-optional)
- Analytics Cookies: Optional, for traffic insights
Manage preferences via our cookie banner or browser settings. See Wix's cookie notice for details.
Data Retention
- Contact Data: Kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion
- Project Responses: Stored until the project report is published (typically within 12 months), then retained only as anonymized aggregates for historical research purposes
- Backups: Encrypted and deleted after 12 months
Your Rights
You can:
- Access or correct your data
- Delete your data or withdraw consent
- Object to analytics cookies
Email admin@oneunityproject.org; we'll respond within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
Our content and services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information from our records. Parents who believe we might have collected information from their child under 13 can contact us at admin@oneunityproject.org.
Security
We use HTTPS, encrypted storage, restricted Google Drive access, and two-factor authentication to protect your data.
