Once you choose to provide us with any information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. However, it must be recognised that the nature of the World Wide Web is such that any data which you choose to make visible on CISV Friends, will be visible to internet users around the world.
For your protection, we are registered under the Data Protection Act 1998 and have given all appropriate notifications to the Information Commissioner.
What Data do We Collect?
We may collect the following information:
- We require that users supply personal information, including name, date of birth, address and contact details including e-mail address for registration;
- We may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experiences with our activities, and contact preferences in order to provide you with further correspondence about CISV;

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of text which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, your browser adds that text in a small file. A cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular web site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. For example, when you visit an electronic store, a cookie makes it easier to shop, by allowing you to place things into a shopping basket; the basket itself is not the cookie, the cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your basket versus others in use at the same time.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our web site in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Denial of a traffic log cookie should not prevent you from using one of these web sites.
The Forum software uses cookies to store information about the time you were last logged in and some session information, but, again, no personal details are stored in the cookies at any time.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better web site, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. Personal details are at no time stored in cookies on the CISV friends web site. This practice is strictly in force. We know that people have concerns about cookies, but we believe that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. You may set your web browser to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that contain cookies - those files are stored as part of your internet browser. Please note that this may result in a less satisfactory experience when using CISV Friends.
What do we do with the information we gather?
We require this information and will store it for the following reasons:
- To make the CISV Friends Website and related services available to you;
- For record keeping purposes and to administer your membership and participation in CISV organisations, programmes and initiatives;
- To compare current and original participant data to assist in confirming the identity of some Members;
- To assist CISV in pursuing one of its primary charitable objects, which is to conduct and contribute to research in order to further work in the area of intercultural understanding and peace education;
- To make information about CISV available to you, including events, campaigns, activities;
- To assist us in developing CISV initiatives and additional services and functionality on CISV Friends, based on the wishes of Members and to invite you to become involved in or support these initiatives.
PLEASE NOTE: we may share your information with Affiliated Organisations in your area (such as your local CISV National Association and Chapter) so they may use it for the purposes outlined above.
When you use CISV Friends and have not advised us to the contrary, you are agreeing that we may use your personal information for the purposes set out in this statement.
We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties outside of CISV International and its Affiliated Organisation unless we have your permission or are required by law.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
As part of the services offered to you through CISV Friends, the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

PLEASE NOTE: if you are based in a country outside the EEA you consent to us transferring your information to Affiliated Organisations in your country.
