Africa Resource for Kidney

to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy
explains what information is being collected about you, how personal
information is being used, to whom personal information is being
disclosed and how this personal information is stored and protected.
This privacy policy has been developed in accordance with our legal
obligations.
(a) What information is

Presently, AFREKID does not collect information for registered
users. This may change in the future and you are recommended to
visit this policy.
However, you may be asked to
submit personal information. This may include your name, surname,
post code, telephone and email address. We gather this information
to allow us to contact you and build a profile of our service users
and partners.
Whether you are a registered
user or not, our web-server collects certain information such as:
IP addresses;
host names
domain name
the time and date
information is requested
the browser version and
platform when information is requested
a record of which pages have
been requested
We use this information to
produce aggregate visitor statistics in relation to which pages are
being accessed. We may also use it to monitor usage patterns on this
website in order to improve navigation and design features to help
you get information more easily. This information is collated and
provided to us as daily log files. These statistics will not include
information that can be used to identify any individual.
(b) How is personal

We may use your personal information to communicate with you
generally so that you can get the most out of the services that we

(c) To whom will personal

AFREKID does not disclose your personal information to anyone.
However, we may seek your consent if we need to disclose your
personal information to our partners, who will be bound by duties of
confidentiality.
We may also pass your information to an agent if we are required to
do so by law.
(d) How is personal
information stored and protected?
Keeping your personal details private is very important to us.
Presently, we do not transmit personal details to purchase a product
or service. If we do, such details are transmitted in an encrypted
manner via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Despite our best efforts,
unfortunately no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us from our online products or
services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your
transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our
systems.
(e) The use of cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a web server on
your computer when you visit a website. The information stored by a
web server is in the form of a small data file written to your hard
drive. These small data files contain information which enables our
web server to personalise your future use of our site. For example,
the use of a cookie allows us to display the results of a poll once
a user has voted. We also use cookies to identify the nationality of
our users which enables us to present users with the appropriate
corporate branding.
Access to the secure areas
of the website is dependent upon the use of cookies. Most browsers
allow the user to control the cookies, including whether or not to
accept them and how to remove them. If users disable cookies on
their computer, this and other features of our website will be
unavailable to them.
(f) IP addresses
Each time you use the internet, an IP address is assigned to your
computer via your Internet Service Provider. This number may either
be the same or different each time. Each time your computer requests
information from our website, we log your IP address on our server.
We may use this information in order to gather information about
website traffic.
(g) Updating your
details
Should you wish to update or change any of the details that we hold
about you you may do so via the website or by contacting us or
sending us an email at
info@afrekid.org
(h) Your consent
By submitting your information you consent to the use of that
information as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy
policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices
on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the
information we collect and how we use it at all times.
