Here & There privacy policy
Here-There.org (Here & There) is a community-driven, editable, networking and informational website dedicated to offer to Civil Society Organizations, research institutes, governmental organizations and individuals in-between those actors the possibility of creating a web space where they can make their knowledge available and exchange it with different performers in a self-customized environment.
When you register at Here & There you provide us information such as your email address, the country you reside in, your username, etc. and even personal information if you post them in your profile. Moreover, we collect information about your use of Here & There that you do not explicitly submit, such as your IP address, requested URL, referring URL, etc.
Also, you may set up your personal or group profile, creating your user content and so form relationships, send messages, perform searches, set up events and transmit information through various channels. This content is collected so as to provide you the service and offer personalized features and it is posted at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that the content you post on Here & There will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the website. Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.
Regardless of whether you are registered with Here & There or logged into your account, anytime you visit our website you can be identified by your IP address. This is a series of numbers which identifies the Internet address from which you are contacting Here & There. This number may be traceable only to your Internet provider, or more specifically to your office or home.
Unless previously authorized, the Here & There team will not make your private information available to third parties, unless you agree to release this information or unless one of the situations described in this paragraph occurs. We may preserve or disclose the content you post on Here & There, as well as other information about you and your use of the website, such as your email address, IP address and timestamp data, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a court order or another legal process. Further, we may preserve or disclose such information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud; to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Here & There, its users or the general public or to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and/or the Here and There Terms of Use, as the same may be amended from time to time.
Editing your user content
Access and control over most information Here & There is readily available through the profile editing tools. Users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their account may do so on the account page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to other users.
Cookies & Links
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to record current session information, but do not use permanent cookies. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Here & There. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
Moreover, Here & There contains links to third party websites to which we are not responsible. We do not share your personal information with those websites. Should you decide to visit one of these third party websites, we suggest that you read its privacy policy
Final reflection
You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., your real name or email address) through messages, forums, postings, or in other areas of Here & There, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in your receipt of unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond our control. Please do not post any personal information on this website if you expect them to keep private.
