privacy policy
Like many websites, we use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences and actions. We use cookies to track use of our Sites and online services. We may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve the Sites and make it easier and/or relevant for your use.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but, if you prefer, you can usually modify your browser setting to disable or reject cookies. If you delete your cookies or if you set your web browser to decline cookies, some features of the Sites may not work or may not work as designed. For more information on cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information provided by the Interactive Advertising Bureau at www.allaboutcookies.org.
The Sites also use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use the Sites, compile reports on the Sites activity, and provide other services related to Sites activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website. The Sites do not use Google Analytics to gather any personally identifiable information. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies.
We may partner with third party advertising companies who may utilize cookies or other technologies to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the Sites. They may use persistent identifiers to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services beyond the Sites, as well as across different devices. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content about goods or services that are unrelated to HEALTH21. Such third parties may, with sufficient data from other sources, be able to personally identify you, unknown to us. To learn more about the third-party collection and use of your information and the choices you have, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking
http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and/or Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Some content or applications on the Sites are served by unaffiliated third parties. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about third party content or applications, or about an advertiser’s privacy practices, you should contact such party directly.
Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. Our information collection and disclosure practices and the choices we provide, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.
Children’s Information
The Sites are not intended for children under 13 years of age. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection and with parent or guardian consent, HEALTH21 does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, do not provide personal information to HEALTH21. If HEALTH21 discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided HEALTH21 with personal information and we do not have parental consent, HEALTH21 will promptly delete that child’s information from the Sites.

Who Do We Provide Your Information To?
Non-personally identifiable information collected on the Sites may be disclosed in any manner that we deem appropriate. Among other things, we will disclose non-personally identifiable information to third parties to help us determine how people use parts of the Sites and who our users are so we can improve our Sites. We will also disclose non-personally identifiable information to our partners and other third parties about how our users collectively use the Sites.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information collected on the Sites to our service providers, affiliates, and other third parties as described below, with your consent, and as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Service Providers
We have third party service providers, agents, affiliates and partners that may perform functions on our behalf, including, but not limited to, payment processing, hosting, content syndication, content management tools, social media integration, marketing, analytics, customer service, and fraud protection. These entities may have access to personally identifiable information if needed to perform their functions. If such access is required, the third parties will be contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that personally identifiable information.
Law Enforcement, Legal Process, and Emergency Situations
We may use or disclose personally identifiable information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on us or the Sites; (b) protect and defend our rights or property, the Sites, or our users, and (c) act to protect the personal safety of us, our agents, service providers, affiliates, and partners, users of the Sites, or the public.
What Steps Are Taken to Keep Personally Identifiable Information Secure?
We are concerned about ensuring the security of your personally identifiable information and take certain security measures to protect such information. Please understand, however, that while we try our best to safeguard your personally identifiable information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
You need to help protect the privacy of your own information. You must take precautions to protect the security of any personally identifiable information that you may transmit over any public or untrusted network by using encryption and other techniques to prevent unauthorized persons from intercepting or receiving any of your personally identifiable information. You are responsible for the security of your information when using unencrypted, open access, public or otherwise unsecured networks.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information
You may send an email to info@Health21-bd.org to request the correction or deletion any personally identifiable information that you have provided to us. You will not be permitted to examine the personally identifiable information of any other person or entity and may be required to provide us with personally identifiable information to verify your identity prior to accessing any records containing information about you. We may not accommodate a request to change or delete personally identifiable information if we believe doing so would violate any law or legal requirement, or cause the information to be incorrect. Deleting your personally identifiable information may cause us to no longer be able to provide you with requested services or products, such as our newsletter, or to process donation commitments.
