Privacy Statement

This policy governs all pages hosted at franckgoddio.org. It does not apply to pages hosted by other organisations to which we may link and whose privacy policies may differ.

The Franck Goddio Society

It's important to us to help our visitors retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.

To protect your privacy, we follow five principles in accordance with worldwide practices for customer privacy and data protection.

Principle 1 - Notice

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (Personal Information) or allows us to contact you. Generally this information is requested when you are asked to register before downloading free software, entering a contest or joining as a member.

Principle 2 - Consent

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the functionality we offer. But you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

If you decide to register, you will be able to select the information you want to receive from us by subscribing to various services, like our free membership program.

Principle 3 - Access

We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time.

Principle 4 - Security

We strictly protect the security of your personal information and honour your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Principle 5 - Non-personally identifiable information

We do not sell or rent web-generated mailing lists or other personally identifiable information outside franckgoddio.org. Franckgoddio.org does not share or otherwise disclose its cyberactivist lists to other organisations.

The main server is housed with a hosting company whose privacy policies conform to our own. Information in our website logs is not personally identifiable, and we make no attempt to link that information with the individuals that actually browse the site. The server collects information about the date and time in which our web site was accessed and the internet address of the server from which you linked to our site. We may also track, anonymously, a user's movement within the site. We use this data to improve our site performance and to evaluate traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of week at which we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative popularity of different areas of the site.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data placed on your hard drive when you visit our site. We may use cookies to help us recognize you when you come back to our site. We may also use cookies to help us monitor traffic on our site. This information may be aggregated in an anonymous manner. This will help us better tailor our site and provide you with offers that we think may be of interest to you.

IP Addresses and Environmental Variables
Franckgoddio.org may also collect information through IP addresses or environmental variables. An "IP address" is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that data can be transmitted to you. "Environmental variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the Web site you left to visit franckgoddio.org, the names of the pages you visit while at our Web site, and the Internet address of the Web site you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on our Web site. This information may be aggregated in an anonymous manner.

Principle 6 - Enforcement

If for some reason you believe we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail at [email protected] and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly. Be certain the words Privacy Policy are in the Subject line.
