THE HUMANITARIAN LOGISTICS ASSOCIATION LIMITED (“HLA”) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information (individually identifiable information about an individual collected online) and strive to help you protect your privacy while using our site at www.humanitarianlogistics.org. The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information and whether we disclose it to anyone. Please read this notice. By using this site, you consent to our privacy policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our website.

Information collection and use

HLA is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to any third party. HLA collects information from our users at several different points on our website. In order to use some portions of this website, a user may need to first provide certain personally identifiable information (such as name and email address). This information may be used to contact the user about the services offered by HLA or to request services from the user.

Data storage

The personally identifiable information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).  It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us and we may also use third parties (who may be located outside the EEA) to process your personally identifiable information.  By submitting your personally identifiable information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates.

If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

This site may from time to time make chat rooms, forums, mailing lists, message boards, and/or news newsgroups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
