Privacy

PRIVACY POLICY

Global Reconciliation and aidXchange are firmly committed to protecting the privacy of our users.

This policy indicates how your personal information will be treated as you make use of this web site.

This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically. For additional information about us please review our Terms and Conditions. We do not sell or rent your personal identification to third parties or provide your personal identification to others for any purpose.

Email
We will send members or website visitors only the types of email you elect to receive, in addition to our customary business communications (address confirmation, renewal notifications, updates and notifications, etc.) Further, it is our policy to remove members from any mailing list to which they have subscribed upon request (members will continue to receive other customary communications from us). Every opt-in email communication from us will contain clear instructions for how members can remove themselves from that mailing list.

Membership Registration
Demographic and profile data are collected at our site. We use these data to assist with the further development of the web site, showing content in which we think you might be interested and displaying content according to your preferences. We do this by analysing member information in aggregate and by using information gathered during personal visits to help customise individual communications. We may conduct occasional voluntary member surveys, in which we would encourage your participation. The responses we will collect in such surveys will be anonymous.

Updating Personal Information
We will provide you with ways in which you can alter your personal data. Instructions about how to do this will be provided clearly on the website.

Security of Personal Information
We will take whatever steps we can to protect the security of your personal information, including credit card information (where relevant) by using encryption software. Where applicable your data will be kept in a highly secure environment protected from access by unauthorised parties. Other than the administrator of this web site or other authorised personnel, you will be the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorised access. It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

Cookies
Where appropriate and as part of offering and providing customisable and personalised services, we may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Several features of this web site require that you accept cookies in order to work properly. We use cookies to improve the member experience, like allowing the member to login without typing the registered email address or registration number and password. We also use them to deliver information and fresh content specific to your interests. Cookies are widely used on most major Web sites.

Browser Monitor
We may employ a browser monitor within web pages on our site in order to determine your browser status and the client-side metrics relating to page loading. We constantly seek ways to improve page load times and may ultimately use these metrics for such purposes. Any such browser monitor will only be active while the use is active on this web site. For your protection, any such browser monitor will not require an executable (*.exe) application.

IP Address
Like most Internet sites, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer this web site. Your IP address may also be used to gather broad demographic information. This information will be distributed to current and potential advertisers but only in aggregate form. It will not contain information that identifies individual members.

Membership Removal
Where applicable if you wish to have your registration removed from our directory for any reason you may do so through our online registration removal process. If you have any problem removing your registration, please request assistance from the “Contact Us’ page on this web site.

Advertising and Third Party Links
We may choose to allow advertising in limited and controlled circumstances. If we do so, privacy issues may arise in relation to this. We will notify members of these changed conditions if and when such circumstances arise. Our website contains non-advertising links to a variety of third party sites. We have no control of either the content or privacy policies of such sites, nor should such links be considered an endorsement of these sites except where otherwise noted.

Children
This web site is a general audience web site. Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important. We will never collect or maintain information at this web site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of this web site is intended for use by those under 13. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. We do not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, we will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13. As a result of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, we are required to prohibit children under 13 who reside in the U.S. from posting ads or using any of the other features of this web site that require them to submit information via forms. Therefore, children under 13 who reside in the U.S. should not submit any information via forms on this web site. Member submitting such information will be taken to have warranted that they are either over the age of 13 or not located in the U.S.

Updates to Information Policy
From time to time, we will make changes to our information policies and practices or otherwise alter the functionality of the web site.

Abuse of Terms of Service
If required by law, we may provide your personal information to the police or other investigating agencies to assist them in the investigation of any suspected violations of the law. We also reserve the right to share your name and contact information with our legal advisers in the event of serious violations of conduct.

Disclosure of Information
As a general rule, we will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances as mentioned above and below. We may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms and Conditions or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

Online privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example in offers or requests which you may post – that information can be collected and used by others. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, therefore, you may receive messages from other parties in return.
