Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is of utmost importance to Post for Change (PFC).  This privacy statement describes PFC’s policy concerning the gathering and sharing of visitors’ information through the PFC website.  It applies to all “PFC sites” – that is, all sites within the “postforchange.org” domain name.  You should note that through this site you may reach or be directed to other sites that relate to PFC (like donating websites); all these sites have their own privacy statements which are similar to this one but may vary slightly.  By visiting the PFC website you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

​

What information does PFC collect?

Normal website usage. In general, you can browse the PFC site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs.  These include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the web site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits. Collection of personally identifiable information. If you register for a newsletter, log on to certain PFC sites, order a book or other merchandise, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or join an electronic mailing list, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.  This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission, and is kept in PFC databases.  If you are purchasing something on the web, you may be asked to provide your credit card details. PFC sites with specific requirements to collect personal information may publish a privacy policy specific for that site.  In these cases, the site-specific policies will be complementary to this general PFC privacy policy, but will give additional details for that particular use.

PFC’s websites use cookies to provide statistics that help us to give you the best experience of our sites. You can find out more in our cookies policy page or switch them off if you prefer. However, by continuing to use our sites without changing settings, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

Joining electronic discussion groups may mean that other participants of the discussion group (including non-PFC employees) will see personal information that you have volunteered.  For open discussion groups, this information will be public.

 

What does PFC do with the information it collects?

Normal web usage. The information gathered during general browsing of the “postforchange.org” domain is used to analyse trends and usage of the PFC site and to improve the usefulness of the site. It is not connected with any personal information.  However, if you have registered with PFC in connection with any activity on the PFC site, the information we collect about your normal web usage will be identifiable to you.

Personally identifiable information

  • “Remember” your online profile and preferences;

  • Help you quickly find information that is relevant to you based on your interests, and help us create site contents most relevant to you;

  • Undertake statistical analysis.

 

What if I don’t want to provide personal information?

Providing personal information on the PFC web site is optional.  If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse and use the PFC site, but you will not be able to carry out certain actions such as purchasing items, donating, registering for a newsletter, or applying for a job.

Security. Any information provided to PFC by users of the PFC site is held with the utmost care and security. PFC aims to protect the information maintained on our system from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, PFC assumes no responsibility for the security of information. The PFC site contains links to sites external to the postforchange.org domain.  PFC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.
