IP Addresses and URLs:
Cookies are data snippets that websites store on your computer's
hard drive. We use cookies to analyse site use. You can configure
most web browsers to reject cookies or notify you when cookies are

on SOS-EASTAFRICA.ORG
Your access provider assigns
an IP address to your computer when you use the Internet. We log
each IP address that accesses the site, along with referring/destination
URLs. We use this data, as well as other data in our databases,
to analyse site and user behaviour, troubleshoot technical problems,
resolve disputes and address complaints.
Email Tools:
If you send emails through our site, your email will include your
email address and any personal message you include. However, these
emails aren't private communications. We do not retain, in any easily-retrievable
way, the addresses you are emailing. You may not use these tools
to send Spam or content that violates the user agreement.
Feedback:
We may ask for your feedback through a form, which we treat confidentially
like other business records.
Other Data Collection:
We may get data from or about you in other ways not specifically
described in this statement. For example, you might contact us,
or we may get a third party complaint about you. We handle this
data like other business records. However, if we tell you elsewhere
that specific data is governed by rules that supplement or contradict
this statement, those rules trump this statement.
Communicating with
Other Users:
You may not harvest personal data (including email addresses) from
the site, and specifically you may not use email addresses displayed
on the site to ask users to join or contribute to your services.
Security:
We use industry-standard security protocols, such as (if and where
appropriate) firewalls and restrictions on which employees can access
user data. However, perfect security does not exist on the Internet.
Also, in theory third parties can intercept Internet transmissions
containing your personal data, and we don't control the privacy/security
of transmissions to and from the site while in transit.
