Privacy and Cookies policy

Overview
Privacy International strongly believes that you have the right to control the use of your personal information, and that your privacy must be respected. We strictly limit the processing of your personal information, and to the best of our abilities we will work only with other organizations who do the same.

We will not use personal information that you provide to us in a manner inconsistent with the purposes for which you provided it to us.

Privacy International does not sell, rent or lease personal data.
Any subpoena or attempts by government agencies or private sector organisations to gain access to any information that you give us will be vigorously challenged.

In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Office of the Information Commissioner we are not registered on the public register of data controllers as we are a not for profit organisation. Irrespective of this, below we outline in detail our organisational and website information processing practices in various sections: Organisational Policy, Communications, Financial and Supporter Information, Intern and Volunteer Information, Partner Organisations and Other Third Parties, Research, Data transfers, Cookies, Website, Corrections, & Changes.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at info@privacyinternational.org.


Organizational Privacy Policy
We collect as little personal information as possible in order to achieve our mission, which is described on our About Us page.

We maintain direct control over as many processes as we can. We conscientiously select and review trusted providers when possible, and review their security and privacy practices. When possible, encryption is used, both in transit and storage. Access controls within the organisation limit who may access information. We seek to limit the hosting of data on our webservers.


Communications
Emails received through info@gustoitalianopak.com are reviewed by one staff member and sent onwards when necessary to other staff members. Similarly, emails sent to our other general addresses, e.g. info@gustoitalianopak.com are reviewed and deleted as quickly as possible. We do not disclose the names of senders to others outside of PK, i.e. third parties, without your permission.

Cookies Policy

We use cookies which expire in 1 month to monitor web traffic, set via self-hosted Analytics, which only presents us with aggregate numbers of downloads of each document, page, etc;

We also use a cookie for managing your session: if you submit a form, a session cookie may be set to allow you to confirm a subsequent resubmission is not a duplicate. We do not store that cookie information. Our website content management system leaves a cookie for the administration of your session but it is not used for tracking purposes.

We may also point from our website to other internet services that do use cookies.
This is also the case with multi-media services, and with the links that we post on our Twitter. Google+, and Facebook accounts.

We also use this information to ascertain what material is of use to the general public. At no point do we deduce 'who' is downloading material. We only ascertain 'whether' and 'how many' downloads there are, and from what country the downloader may be originating from.


Social Media
Notably, we have a Facebook page, Twitter feed, a YouTube channel, and a Google+ page.
