Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Umbraco Users Group India ("UUGI", "we", "us") collects, uses and protects the personal information you share when you participate in our community. It covers our website, events, the Umbraco Education Program, UmbraShow discussions, newsletters and any other UUGI activity. By taking part in these, you agree to the practices described here.
We keep this policy deliberately plain and transparent. If anything here is unclear, we're happy to explain — just reach out using the contact details below.

Cookies
Our website uses a small number of cookies to help it function and to understand how visitors use it. Essential cookies keep the site working, while optional analytics cookies help us improve content and navigation. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some features may work less smoothly if you do.
Third-Party Services
To deliver certain features, we rely on trusted third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
YouTube — for embedded UmbraShow and session recordings.
Google Maps — for event venue locations.
Google Analytics — for anonymous, aggregated usage insights.
Social platforms — for sharing and community links.
Event registration services — for managing sign-ups.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers to understand how they handle data.
Data Protection
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to keep your information safe, including restricted access, secure connections and careful handling of registration data. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we work to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, and to retain it only as long as needed.
Your Rights
You remain in control of your personal information. At any time you may request to:
Access the information we hold about you.
Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
Delete your personal information, subject to any legal obligations.
Opt out of newsletters and non-essential communications.
Contact us with any privacy question or concern.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at events@uugi.in and we'll respond promptly.
Children's Privacy
UUGI activities are intended for a general, largely professional audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent. Where the Education Program involves students below the age of majority, we work with their institutions and guardians to ensure participation is handled responsibly. If you believe a child has provided us information without consent, please contact us and we will remove it.
UmbraShow Recordings
UmbraShow is a community discussion series, and sessions may be recorded and published so the wider community can learn from them. Participants — speakers, guests and contributors — will always be informed beforehand when a session is being recorded. If you appear in a recording and later wish to discuss its use, please get in touch.
Umbraco Education Program
The Education Program involves additional information handling, always with care and consent:
Student registrations — collected to manage enrolment and learning progress.
Institution collaboration — details shared between UUGI and partner colleges.
Photography — sessions may be photographed for community documentation, with attendees informed.
Event documentation — summaries and media that help us showcase and improve the program.
Community Communications
From time to time we send newsletters and announcements about events, sessions and community news. These go only to people who have opted in, and every message includes a clear way to unsubscribe. We aim to keep our communications relevant, occasional and worth your time.

Policy Updates
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically as our community and services evolve. Material changes will be reflected in the version number and effective date shown above. We encourage you to review this page from time to time; continued participation in UUGI activities constitutes acceptance of the current version.
