Thank you for visiting www.sisha.org (“Site”). Through the Site, SISHA aims to provide up-to-date information about our organisation and help to raise awareness regarding human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. SISHA recognises the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about visitors to our Site. With this in mind, we have adopted this Privacy Policy for the Site. SISHA is also referred to as “we” “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy.

Information Submitted by Users
SISHA does not collect any “personal information” from users on this Site for any purpose other than donation administration.  “personal information” includes, for example, an individual’s name, home address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, or any other information that can be used to identify or contact an individual, whether online or offline. 

Our Services Partners (as found in our Donations section) may have access to your personal information as necessary to provide their services. They are required to maintain the privacy of all such information in their possession or control and are requested to only use the information for the purpose that we have partnered with them, for example processing donations or fulfilling thank you gifts (however, please see Links to Third Parties below).

All other “personal information” is collected by us at the User’s own discretion by emailing or sending your personal details to us directly. We will obtain permission from a User before publicly acknowledging their donation to SISHA on our Site. 

We do not sell or exchange email addresses with third parties for their own purposes.

Information Collected Automatically
We also collect information by various technical means, without you submitting any information, in order to help us understand the usage of the Site (such as the number of visitors to the Site and the most popular pages) and to enhance the user experience (such as whether you have a high or low bandwidth connection to the Internet). The information collected in this way generally is not personal information.

We also collect data automatically through “cookies,” “web beacons,” and “web logs” which are commonly used on the Internet. 

A “cookie” is a piece of information that a web site transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes.  As a user moves from page to page at our Site, a cookie is used to tell us that it is the same user.  We also may use a cookie to keep track of your selections.  You may set your Internet browser to accept or not accept cookies and you may delete any cookies that you have received. However, should you decide to disable any cookies we place on your computer, you may not be able to use certain services or features on the Site. 

A “web beacon” is a one-pixel image (which may be visible or transparent), which may be embedded on a web page or e-mail message, and which may also provide us with information about usage of that page or e-mail message.

We also maintain web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Site such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address for their computers and the type of browser and operating system they use. An IP address is a number designated for your computer by your Internet service provider to provide access to the Internet. We may use your IP address to gather aggregate information on the use of the Sites, but we will only be able to identify you individually if we link the IP address to you as a particular user. 

Security
SISHA strives to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information of our customers. We use a variety of physical and electronic security measures including restricting physical access to our offices and firewalls and secure databases to keep personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.

Links From the Sites to Third Party Sites
When you are visiting our Site, you may have the opportunity to visit or link to, other sites, including to unaffiliated third parties. When you link to such third party sites, you become subject to their terms of use and privacy policies rather than ours. You should review these third party sites’ privacy policies regarding any personally identifiable information that they may collect about you at their sites. SISHA does not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of third party sites and your use of such sites is at your own risk.

Changes to Privacy Policy
Whenever the Privacy Policy for our Site changes, we will post the changes to the Site, and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting. If you do not agree to the changes, please do not continue to use the Site.

For further information
Please contact [email protected] to ask for access to your information or if you have a complaint concerning your information privacy or if you would like more information about our approach to privacy.
