· Accessing and updating your personal information held by AFUB
At AFUB we are committed to protecting your privacy online. We protect any personal information you give us while you use our website.
By continuing to use this website you are signifying your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy.
Personal information is information that can be used to identify you. It can include your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, fax number and credit/debit card details.
We collect personal information when you ask about our activities, register with us (for example, registering with the website), order products and services (such as publications and email newsletters), make a donation to us, or otherwise give us personal information.
How do we use your information?
We use your personal information to give you the information, services, or products you ask for. We can also use your information for administrative purposes, to let you know about changes and, if you agree, as part of our fundraising activities. We sometimes also share your information with our service providers, trading companies, and associated organisations (who work with us to get the information you ask for).
AFUB is responsible for collecting your personal information. Any information we collect is stored and processed in Kenya. Your personal information is not shared with third parties or used in any other way (other than described in this policy or as required by law) unless you agree.
Where indicated - usually by a tick box asking for your permission - we use your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences. This information is not shared with other organisations.
We reserve the right to share your personal information if we are legally obliged to and to enable us to apply our terms and conditions and other agreements. This includes exchanging information with other organisations for fraud and credit risk reduction.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, AFUB cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. When we collect your personal information we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
AFUB uses "cookies" to give you a more personalised web service.
A cookie is a small text file we pass to your computer's hard disk through your web browser so the website remembers who you are when you return.
These cookies store information between visits. For example, if you select the 'Remember me on this computer' box your email address and password is saved in a cookie on your computer. This means next time you log on to the site you will not need to re enter those details. We suggest you do not select the 'Remember me' box if you use a shared computer (for example, if you access the Internet at a café, or at a university).
