Traditional Ecosystems Survival Tanzania (TEST) takes very seriously the privacy of its website visitors and the security of any personal information that may be provided via the organization’s website. TEST believes you have the right to know the type of information the organization collects, how it is protected and used, and the circumstances under which it may be disclosed. For easy access, this Privacy Policy Statement is posted on TEST’s homepage, all internal website pages and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

Any privacy policy provided on any specific TEST-branded website will always supersede this general policy. Please check the TEST website(s) that you use for the applicable privacy policy.

The Information We Collect and How it is Gathered and Used

Personal Information

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the TEST website. On some pages, visitors can make information requests, register to receive program updates or resource materials, or make financial contributions. TEST collects only the personal information voluntarily provided through this website. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, contact information, and any other demographic data or details related to your background or interests that you choose to provide.

TEST does not share personal information provided by you through its website with any other institution, company, government or governmental agency or other organization. TEST is obligated to disclose personal information in exceptional cases as required by United Republic of Tanzania law, including a subpoena.

TEST uses the information you provide about yourself for various services, which are disclosed to you when you provide the information. Examples include email newsletters, invitations to TEST events, or for information alerts about TEST programs or activities. In some cases, TEST uses this information, including the email addresses and contact information gathered from our websites, for fundraising activities.

Information collected on TEST’s websites are never used for commercial purposes.

Email/SMS Updates

We use a third-party email/SMS marketing party to deliver emails and Short Message Service (SMS). This company employs techniques for tracking open rates and click-through that use email addresses/Phone numbers as unique identifiers.

You will be given the option to remove your name from our email/SMS list at the bottom of each email/SMS update. We will not sell, rent or trade your email address/Phone Number to a third party.

Site Usage Information

When visitors browse, read or download information on the TEST website, limited, anonymous data is collected about the visit. For instance, the web server may record the numerical Internet Protocol address of your computer; information about your browser and operating system; date and time of access; and the Internet address and page that linked (referred) you to our site. If you search the site, your search requests may be logged. TEST uses this information to measure the number of visitors to different sections of the site, diagnose and correct system errors, and conduct research—all with the sole objective of improving the information services, features and usability of the site.

Cookies

The TEST website uses web cookies—a mechanism by which a website and a web browser can jointly “remember” information within or between browsing sessions. Cookies are useful because they can improve the user experience. However, cookies have been subject to criticism because they also can be employed to invisibly assemble information about user’s browsing habits for marketing purposes.

TEST uses cookies only to improve the user experience within the context of a single browser session or between site visits and not for any form of information gathering about user browsing. Cookies may contain a “key,” so that you do not need to login every time you visit a new page, or when you return to the TEST website from the same computer at a later date. Remember, if you are using a public computer, and you fail to log out from the website after finishing your session, another person may be able to access your account.

TEST Partner websites and Links to Independent websites

The TEST privacy policy does not apply to such website that are developed and maintained by TEST partners with TEST financial or technical assistance. TEST would typically encourage these partners to develop and implement their own privacy policies for information collected on their websites. It is TEST’s policy never to take possession of or use personal information provided to partners through these kinds of websites.

Similarly, TEST websites may contain pages with links to independent, external websites for which the organization is not responsible.

TEST Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of information, TEST uses industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect the confidentiality of your personal information and the security of your transaction during transmission.

Any revocation of consent may be submitted to the following email address: info@nyanda.org
