Cookies are small files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit our site. We use cookies to improve our site and make it easier to use. Cookies permit the site to recognize users and streamline repeated requests for the same information. We don’t use cookies in most areas of our site. In areas where we may use cookies, we most frequently use “session cookies” that are automatically deleted after each visit. However, some cookies may remain on your computer unless you manually delete them. Cookies from our site cannot be read by other sites.

HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

PAI follows technical and management practices we believe are reasonable to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of information stored on our system. However, we do not operate a completely secure site. For example, we generally do not use secure pages to collect information and we generally do not store data in encrypted form.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP USER INFORMATION?

PAI generally keeps user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods if the law requires it.

Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.

By using our site, you agree to PAI’s Privacy Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. We may change the current policy by posting a new version on our site.

THIS SITE OPERATES AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE. ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, QUALITY, TITLE, FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY ARE DISCLAIMED. POPULATION ACTION INTERNATIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR EVENTS BEYOND OUR DIRECT CONTROL.
