Your privacy is important to us. We know that you care about how information about you is used. We want to share with you the Internet policies and practices we have adopted to protect your privacy so that you feel confident about how we handle the personal information you entrust to us.
While we do not plan to modify our policies very often, it is always advisable to double-check our website (www.civskenya.org) to be sure that you have read and agree with our most current privacy policy statement. Any change in our privacy policy will be prospective only. We will not make any changes that have retroactive effect unless legally required to do so.
Data Protection
We use the personal information you provide us to review and improve the services that we offer, and to contact you (by post, email and/or phone) about other services offered by CIVS that you may be interested in. If you don’t want to receive this information or want a copy of the personal information we hold about you, write to us at Center for International Voluntary Service, P.O. Box 00515 - 824 Buruburu, Nairobi, Kenya. CIVS may charge a fee for supplying you with this information as permitted by law.
We ask visitors providing e-mail addresses to let us know if they would like further information or updates from our site; only those who request it will receive follow-up e-mail or other communications from us. We will never sell or give the personal information that you voluntarily provide us to any third party, other than to: (a) affiliated entities of CIVS, (b) service providers who provide support services to us, (c) business partners as described below, and (d) purchasers of all or a part of the CIVS business provided that such third party agrees to abide by the privacy policies stated in this statement. It is used solely by us to respond to your requests and to better serve you.
We also offer visitors an “opt-out” option at any time they wish to cease receiving e-mails or other information from us. If you initially decide to receive information from us but at a later date wish to remove your information from our database, you can do so by sending an email to info@civskenya.org or by calling us at +254 (20) 780909, +254 (20) 786658.
"Cookies" and Other Web Technologies
We use “cookie” technology and IP addresses only to obtain non-personal information from on-line visitors to provide them with the best possible personalized on-line experience. To do this we do keep track of the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows, Macintosh) used by the visitor, and the domain name of the visitor’s Internet service provider. We also track the total number of visitors to our site in an aggregate form to allow us to update and improve our site; personally identifiable information is not extracted in this process. This helps us keep our site fresh and interesting to our visitors. Cookie technology also helps us deliver content tailored to a visitor’s interests. You may disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do disable cookies, we may be unable to optimize your visit to our site and you may experience some errors.
Safeguards
We have instituted safeguards to check that our internal procedures meet our privacy policy standards. We also use our commercially reasonable efforts to be sure that third parties who work with us agree to protect personal information that they must access in order to serve our site and our visitors.
Links To Other Sites
We rarely offer links to other sites, but when we do, we try to link only with partner sites that share our values. Nevertheless, we are not responsible for the content or information collection policies of other sites. If you visit another site, you should first review their privacy and other policies before providing any of your personal information.
Other Information and Governing Law
We reserve the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any legal investigation.
This policy is governed by the laws of Kenya.
