CDI Privacy Policy

Updated May 2021

Conflict Dynamics International (“CDI”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, including online and through use of our products. This privacy policy sets out how CDI uses and protects any information that you give us when you use our website or applications.

Information Collected by CDI

We may collect the following information about you:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our site.
• If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
• Details of transactions you carry out through our site.
• Details of your visits to our site (including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs, and other communication data, whether this is required for our own purposes or otherwise) and the resources that you access.

CDI does not collect personally identifiable information unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us to view our site. For example, personally identifiable information (names, addresses, zip/postal codes, email addresses, etc.) may be collected to respond to a stated desire to apply for a position, make a donation online or sign up to be part of a mailing list. This information is available to CDI and other service providers involved in the operation of this site. Personally identifiable information will be collected from users opening accounts on our mobile applications.

We may collect information that you make available online from third parties such as data from social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.) when you interact with us using these platforms.

When you use our website, we may also automatically collect information using ‘cookies.’ We use analytics software and cookies to improve our communications, provide you with more relevant content and create a better website.

Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log and visitor behaviour information to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. For further information visit www.aboutcookies.org. In most cases we will not be able to identify you from the information we collect using these technologies.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above website tells you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.

We only keep your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

Sharing of the Information

CDI uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us better understand our audience’s demographics. As such, the data processing of your personal information is legally based on our legitimate interests, taking into consideration our reasonable mutual expectations in the achievement of our purpose.

We may share your data with several carefully selected third parties, all of which are contractually obligated to act on our instructions and in accordance with current data protection legislation.

We will also disclose your information if ever required to do so by law or to enforce our legal rights. However, we will never sell, rent, trade, or pass your personal data to any other third parties. We do not sell or share information that we collect either offline or online with outside parties.

Accessing Your Personal Information

The General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) is a European Union regulation concerning the use and processing of personal information. GDPR is effective as of May 25, 2018. We are committed to processing your information in compliance with the GDPR, as applicable. We will use reasonable efforts to securely process all personal information in line with the rights specified under the GDPR.

Except for information that needs to be kept for legal reasons, you have a right to opt-out of us processing your data or withdraw your consent at any time. You may at any time request access to your personal data, verify, transfer, and in some cases limit its processing. You may also request rectification free of charge, and, where applicable, request the deletion of your personal data except that which Carnegie has an obligation to keep on record. If you have any queries regarding the processing of your personal data, please contact us at:

Security

We take the security of your information very seriously. We employ physical, electronic and administrative security measures to protect the information that we collect about you from access by unauthorized persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. The third parties we work with are also carefully selected to ensure they also have appropriate security measures in place. While we strive to protect your personal information, CDI cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
