SSCW Data Privacy Statement
SSCW respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website or sends us e-mail. Therefore, we comply with applicable data privacy legislation in regards to processing personal data. This Privacy Statement describes how SSCW uses and protects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Statement constitutes the entire agreement between you and SSCW relating to the publicly accessible portions of our website. By your use of our website, you consent to be governed by this Privacy Statement.
Personal Data
You may have the opportunity, via our website or other means, to provide us with personal information about you and your interests. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, e-mail address, company name, position and interests.
If you choose to share any personal data with us via our website or via e-mail, we may store it and use that information to assist you with any questions you may have. We use industry standard practices to review data quality and confirm that the information we have for you is up-to-date.

Unless you specifically consent to the sharing of your personal data, your information will solely be used for organisational purposes.
Sharing of the Personal Data with other Organizations
For network communities (like European Network for Intercultural Dialogue), SSCW could share your information with other members of these communities.
This information will not be shared outside of these communities. To avoid people receiving multiple invitations to the same co-sponsored event, SSCW reserves the right to share your first name, last name, and employer with partner organizations for the purpose of de-duplicating the final invitation list. Except as described in this Privacy Statement, we will not share your phone number, e-mail address, or any other contact information.

Security
SSCW uses secure data networks that are protected by firewall and password protection systems that are consistent with industry standards. SSCW’s security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. Only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by SSCW contacts.
Opt-Out or Change Your Contact Information
SSCW website provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from SSCW through a special online form. You may choose to receive only specific communications or none at all. You may also update your contact information previously provided to us through another online form. In order to avoid a situation where repeated, unwanted contacts could occur, we will not remove you from the database. We will only contact you according to the preferences you specify.
All information shall be kept absolutely confidential unless given consent to.
Use of Google Analytics
SSCW website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (referred to as Google in this text). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, within the European Union member states or in other states that take part in the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States where it will be shortened. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities and provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
The purpose of data processing is to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Other related services will then be provided based on the use of the website and the Internet. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.
In addition to preventing the use of cookies (see next chapter), you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data related to this website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add-On to disable Google Analytics.
“Cookies”
You may visit our website anonymously. Except as described in this Privacy Statement, we do not collect identification data of our visitors.
We do, however, use cookies (small computer files that stay on your computer and let us know when and how often you visit our site) to keep and track general information about website usage. Cookies do not identify the individual user, just the computer used.
Cookies and other similar technology can make it easier for you to use the website during future visits. Cookies only record which areas of the site have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. This information allows SSCW to understand how our website is being used, which helps with planning future website growth.
Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your computer and we will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our site. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus.
If You Don’t Like Cookies…
You can have your browser reject the cookies. Most Internet browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions.
Embedded YouTube Videos
On some of our websites, SSCW embeds YouTube videos. YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA is the operator of the corresponding plug-ins. When visiting a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to Youtube servers is established, thus informing Youtube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your surfing behaviour to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the service provider uses cookies that collect information on the users browsing behaviour.
If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to expect such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. Youtube also stores non-personal information in other cookies. To prevent this, it is necessary to block the use of cookies in your browser.
Further information on Youtube data protection can be found in the provider’s data protection declaration under: policies.google.com/privacy.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers, SSCW uses log files. SSCW collects and stores only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account, or princeton.edu if you are connecting from Princeton University’s domain), the date and time you access the site, and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to the SSCW site. SSCW uses this information to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of the site, and to make the site more useful to visitors. Upon request, SSCW is required by law to disclose this and other information records to you.
SSL Encryption
SSCW takes technical and organisational security precautions to protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised third parties, and to guarantee the protection of your rights and compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
To protect the security of your data, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
Our data processing and security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Throughout our web pages, we provide links to other servers and websites which may contain information of interest to our readers. We take no responsibility (and shall have no liability) for, and exercise no control over, the organizations, views, or accuracy of the information contained on other servers and/or sites. Creating a text link from your website to our site does not require permission. If you have a link you’d like us to consider adding to our website, please send an email to GDPR@SSCW.ee with the subject “Link request.”
Legal Disclaimer
Though we take industry standard measures and other efforts to preserve user privacy, SSCW may need to disclose personal information (including personally identifiable information) when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process, and/or in connection with a verified request relating to criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity.

Third Party Service Providers Working on Our Behalf
If you receive emails from us, we pass your information to our third-party service providers, (for example to process donations and send you mailings). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond the SSCW network for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
E-mail Tracking
When you receive an e-mail from SSCW, to include event invitations, newsletters, or other communication, we may collect information about you in the following ways if you open or click on links in that e-mail:
