Privacy Policy

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

• We do not ask for personal information unless we truly need it.
• We do not share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
• We do not store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our activities.

This Privacy Policy incorporates these principles and explains how FIDEC handles information collected through its website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, FIDEC collects nonpersonally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. FIDEC collects this information to better understand how visitors use its website.

From time to time, FIDEC may release nonpersonally identifying information in the aggregate, for example by publishing reports on trends in website usage.

FIDEC may also collect potentially personally identifying information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, from website visitors.

Gathering of Personally Identifying Information

Certain visitors choose to interact with FIDEC in ways that require us to collect personally identifying information. The amount and type of information collected depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who engage in transactions with FIDEC may be asked to provide additional information, including personal or financial details necessary to process those transactions.

FIDEC collects personally identifying information only to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose of the interaction. Visitors may always refuse to provide personally identifying information, though doing so may prevent them from engaging in certain websiterelated activities.

Aggregated Statistics

FIDEC may collect statistics regarding visitor behavior on its website, such as the most frequently visited pages. FIDEC may display this information publicly or provide it to others, but does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described in this policy.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

FIDEC discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need the information to process it on FIDEC’s behalf or to provide services available through the website, and who have agreed not to disclose it to others.

FIDEC does not rent or sell personally identifying information. Disclosure of such information may occur 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 rights, property, or safety of FIDEC, its users, or the public.

FIDEC takes reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of personal 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 identify and track visitors and understand website usage.

Visitors who prefer not to have cookies placed on their computers may set their browsers to refuse cookies; however, some features of the website may not function properly as a result.

Privacy Policy Changes

FIDEC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically for any changes. Continued use of the website after any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
