The European Public Health Alliance values your privacy and respects Belgian law of December 8, 1992 on “Privacy Protection in relation to the Processing of Personal Data” as modified by law of December 11, 1998 implementing Directive 95/46/EC, with particular respect to article 4.
This site is owned by the European Public Health Alliance, an international non-profit making association.
Your consent
By using this website, you agree with this privacy policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with the terms of use.
Information You Provide
Like many websites, this site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, forums, and/or feedback forms. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, and e-mail address).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit personally identifiable information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions...). You will be informed what information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using.
This site may also collect anonymous information from you computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons, but this is only to compile and analyse statistics and trends and improve the site for your use. Such information is not combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the site unless you have consented.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via this site to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our research purposes, and for any other purpose specified. In addition, we may make full use of all information acquired though this site that is not in personally identifiable form. If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection.
The personally identifiable information that you provide when subscribing to the EPHA newsletter or when registering as an EPHA Member is kept in a PHP List. The PHP List is shared with the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), formerly EPHA Environment Network (EEN). EPHA will not sell or rent your email to any organisation. Neither will we contact you for any other topic than public health.
The collection use and disclosure of information contemplated in the Privacy Policy may involve a transfer of the information to jurisdictions located outside your country of residence that may not have equivalent laws and rules regarding personally identifiable information. In these cases you will be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Access, Correction and Deletion
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this site accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession or to delete your information from our database. Please note that you can unsuscribe from our mailing lists and/or correct your contact details by using the link on the bottom of each email you receive from us.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to which this Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
