Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. At FIDEC we have a few key principles:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our activities.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: It is FIDEC’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, FIDEC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. FIDEC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how FIDEC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, FIDEC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

FIDEC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from our website visitors.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to FIDEC’s website choose to interact with FIDEC in ways that require FIDEC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that FIDEC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with FIDEC are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary, the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, FIDEC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with FIDEC. FIDEC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

FIDEC may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, FIDEC may monitor the most popular posts on Fidec-online.org and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, FIDEC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

FIDEC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on FIDEC’s behalf or to provide services available at FIDEC’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. FIDEC will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, FIDEC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when FIDEC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of FIDEC, third parties or the public at large. FIDEC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. FIDEC uses cookies to help FIDEC identify and track visitors, their usage of FIDEC website, and their website access preferences. FIDEC visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using FIDEC’s website, with the drawback that certain features of FIDEC’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes

FIDEC may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in FIDEC’s sole discretion. FIDEC encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
