Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. It is The Centre for Global Trauma Quality Improvement's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to globaltraumaquality.org (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "CGTQI"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through this website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Privacy Policy set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
Website Visitors and Non-Personally-Identifying Information
Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the type of browser used, language preferences, referring site, the date and time of each visitor request, etc. The Centre for Global Trauma Quality Improvement (CGTQI)'s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how our visitors interact with our website and basic geographical information related to audience location. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of this website.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
"Personally-identifying information" means any information which relates to a living, identifiable person. It often includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses etc. but may also include other information relating to that person or a combination of information which, if put together may allow a specific person to be identified.
CGTQI discloses potentially personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available on our website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Centre for Global Trauma Quality Improvement (CGTQI)'s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. CGTQI will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, CGTQI discloses potentially personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Centre for Global Trauma Quality Improvement (CGTQI), third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of globaltraumaquality.org and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just to keep you up to date with what's going on with CGTQI and our services. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users with similar support requests. CGTQI takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying information.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to CGTQI website may choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who sign up for email notifications to provide their name and email address.
By registering on the CGTQI website for access to members only content, you are giving CGTQI explicit consent to store your personally-identifying information.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
