Privacy and Usage Policy

1.Privacy Notice

The information we receive depends upon what you do when visiting our site. If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access our site, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site, and the information you viewed while visiting our website.

We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, find out what information is the most viewed, and help us make our website more useful to visitors. The information gathered is used for two purposes: site management and, in the case of suspected unauthorized activity, for law enforcement and possible criminal prosecution.

If you identify yourself by sending feedback using our contact page, submitting your email for the newsletter subscription, or an e-mail from the “Contact Us” page, you also may decide to send us personally identifying information. For example, in an e-mail with an inquiry about the Asian Preparedness Partnership (APP) or providing us with a comment or suggestion.

We want it to be very clear that we will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us.

This site may use cookies for event registration, and to allow you to ‘remember’ progress when viewing curriculum content. Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords, which some web servers collect from you when you access them. That data is stored on your hard drive-not on the website’s server. Some of the links on this site point to external sites which may place cookies on your computer. If you want to avoid such cookies, we encourage you to set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and allow you to reject them. Your system’s ‘Help’ files will explain how to do this.

2.Security Notice

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under applicable laws. We generally will not obtain personally identifying information when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us (see also ‘Privacy Notice’). If monitoring reveals evidence of possible criminal activity, such evidence may be provided to law enforcement personnel.
