IDRC respects the privacy concerns of users of this website.
As a general rule, no personal information is automatically collected from users of this website. Certain non-personal information, such as a user’s Internet service provider, operating system, length of visit, and requests made may be automatically collected. This is done by the use of a "cookie." A cookie is a small piece of data which is sent to a user's web browser and saved on a user's computer hard drive. This information is used to enhance the user online experience at this website and to provide IDRC with information such as the number of visitors to the website.
Personal information - such as a user’s name and phone number or e-mail address - is only gathered and retained where users provide such information voluntarily when using a functionality on this website. In such cases, the information collected will be used only for the intended purpose (for example, sending information regarding the IDRC activities in a certain area to users who have subscribed to a mailing list).
The practices outlined in this privacy statement are specific to IDRC and this website. Other organizations linked to this site may have different practices; users should review the policies of other websites when visiting them.
