Privacy policy
The Dalia Association is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We strive to keep your information secure, managing it in accordance with our legal responsibilities under the privacy and data protection laws where we operate. This Privacy Policy explains how the personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, is processed.
- Information that we may collect from you
We may collect and process the following data about you:
- Your name, home/work address, and email address, as part of our mailing list.
- Information that you provide by filling in forms on our website. This includes information you provide when subscribing to our E-Bulletin or when applying to serve as a volunteer with us. The information you provide to us may include your name, organization, job title, postal address, e-mail address, phone number, and other information relating to your organization and work.
- If you contact us to enquire about a grant, or for other general information requests, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
- When you use our website, as is the case with most websites, certain limited information (such as your browser type and IP address) will be collected by us automatically. We also track which parts of our website you visit and whether you shared those links on further (either via social media or email), as well as the resources that you access.
By submitting your personal data, you agree to its transfer, storing and processing. We will take all steps necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site - so any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
- How we use your information
We use information held about you in the following ways:
- To understand which parts of our website, and by extension which pieces of our work, are most interesting and relevant to our audience.
- To ensure that website content is presented in the most effective and easily understandable way for your computer and for you.
- To provide you with information or resources that you request from us, or which we feel may interest you.
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our service, to provide the service on our behalf, to perform service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our service is used.
These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
- Cookies and IP addresses
We collect information about your computer or device, including your IP address, operating system and browser type but nothing that identifies you as an individual. We do this in order to optimize your website viewing experience and make our site load faster. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns when using our site, and does not identify any individual.
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse any cookies being stored on your device. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you go to our site.
- Where we store your personal data
If you sign-up to our email newsletter, we store the personal data that you supply us on a secure remote server.
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside Palestine and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to Canada and process it there.
Your consent to this privacy policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Dalia Association will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
- Disclosure of your information
We may disclose your information to third parties if we are working with them to deliver a product or service you have requested, or on your behalf. Otherwise, the Dalia Association commits to never passing your information onto another organization or agency.
