Privacy Statement for the Birfano International Web site
Birfano International has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site: www.birfano.org.

You do not have to provide any personal information on our Web site unless you choose to do so. Various locations within our Web site may invite you to give us certain contact information (e.g., name, address, telephone/fax numbers, e-mail address) and other demographic information (e.g., nationality) if you desire more information about our organization. We may use this contact information to send you information about Birfano and its programs. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary. You may opt-out of receiving future communications by visiting the form again and submitting a request.

You may also provide personal information on our Web site if you wish to apply for employment at Birfano International or another member entity in the Birfano Partnership. Birfano International maintains a separate privacy statement, which can be found on this Web site when you click “Employment”, pertaining to such personal information.

Birfano International assures you that the identity of all who contact us through this Web site is kept confidential: we do not rent, sell, or exchange our mailing lists, or otherwise disclose such information to third parties, except as may be required by law, or through voluntary cooperation with law enforcement authorities if we judge that such cooperation is necessary to avoid potential serious harm. We may also provide your contact information to other member entities in the Birfano Partnership (e.g., the Birfano entity in the your home country), which will handle the information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

As with most other Internet sites, our Web servers record the IP address of each visitor to this site. This IP address tells us which domain you visited from (e.g., aol.com), but not your e-mail address. We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this Web site more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors hail from. We may share aggregate statistical information (e.g., the number of visitors to our Web site), whether gathered by our Web servers or through submissions from visitors, with third parties. These statistics do not include personal information.

Birfano International does not use "cookies." 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. Some Web sites use cookies to track your personal use of their Web site.

This Web site may contain links to other sites, including links which frame the content of the other sites within the Birfano name and logo. Birfano International is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other Web sites, even if our name and logo are still on the top of the screen.

This privacy statement has been updated and is effective as of September 14, 2006.

Birfano International may make changes to this privacy statement from time to time. The revised statement will be effective immediately upon posting to our Web site. Please check the effective date of this privacy statement to determine whether changes have been made since the last time you visited this Web site.
