Voluntary Submissions: When you choose to provide information through forms (e.g., membership applications, event registrations, or contact forms), newsletters, or other interactions with our website.
Cookies and Analytics: We may use cookies or analytics tools to collect non-personally identifiable information, such as device identifiers, IP addresses, or website usage data (e.g., pages visited, session duration).

2. No Data Collection Without Authorization

NUCA and nuca.com do not collect any personal information without your prior, explicit authorization.
