New EU legislation for Data Protection comes into force on the 25 th May 2018. Under this legislation we are required to inform you of the steps we take to protect the information we have on file for you.
The information we hold is only what you have passed to us since your association with Project Mala, which is what we need for administering sponsorship or support with us. This is kept on encrypted data files, paper files in our office and password protected computers. It is for our own use only and is not shared with anyone else.
It is your right to know what records we hold and if you would like to see what we have, please respond to this email and we will send a list of the data.
In accordance with the law, Project Mala is committed to maintaining a web site that protects the individual's right to privacy. We do not require personal information from our visitors, nor do we collect any personally identifying information (name, email address, or other unique identifier) unless you knowingly provide it. Likewise, we do not give, sell, or transfer any personal information to a third party except as might be required by law .
Data Collection for Statistics
To aid in web site management, certain information is collected for statistical purposes. The Service uses specialized software to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest to our customers, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.
We collect only the following information about your visit:
- The name of the domain from which you access the Internet;
- The web site from which you linked directly to our web site, if you have used another web site to reach our site;
- The operating system and web browser you use to view pages;
- The date and time you access our web site.
We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our web site, allowing us to make our web site more useful and accessible to visitors. We do not store any personal identifiers.
Information Collected from E-mails and Forms
You may decide to send us personally identifying information through e-mail messages or through on-line forms. Electronic communication allows us to collect information that will improve our web site for you, and we encourage it. We use personally-identifying information from consumers in various ways to further our customer's protection and to provide better service. This may be to correct broken links that you have identified or provide additional information that you have requested.
Any information that we collect via a questionnaire or a guest book may be subject to disclosure, but will be handled in accordance with the requirements of the law to ensure the greatest protection of personal privacy in the face of any required disclosure.
