The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (AIPR) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals using our website at www.auschwitzinstitute.org (the "Site"). The following discloses AIPR's policy regarding information gathering and dissemination of information through our website. The use of the Site is governed by the Terms of Use (see below), which includes this Privacy Policy. ### Personal Information In connection with your use of this Site, AIPR may ask you for information that personally identifies you, including your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address ("Personal Information"). For example, AIPR may request your Personal Information when you submit a donation or request technical support. AIPR does not release any of this Personal Information to third parties, including other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The Personal Information that you voluntarily provide may be used to contact you about AIPR news and technical support, update your Personal Information, make improvements to the Site, or to customize certain parts of the Site for you. If at any time you wish to change your Personal Information or opt out of receiving news or any other information from AIPR, please e-mail us at info@auschwitzinstitute.org. ### Cookies This Site uses "HTTP cookies," which allow the Site to identify your computer so AIPR may customize its resources to better meet your needs. Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. We do not use cookies to store personal data, nor do we link non-Personal Information stored in cookies with Personal Information about specific individuals. ### Keeping Your Personal Information Secure Keeping your Personal Information secure is important to AIPR. AIPR uses various security methods to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure. Your privacy is very important to us, but due to the existing legal, regulatory, and security environment, AIPR cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties. Under certain circumstances, the government or third parties may lawfully or unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event that AIPR needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, AIPR may disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other governmental officials as AIPR, in our sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate. Though AIPR makes every effort to preserve your privacy, AIPR may also need to disclose Personal Information when required by law wherein AIPR has a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on this Site. ### Links to Third-Party Sites The Site may contain links to websites maintained by third parties. AIPR is not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of other websites. Unless specifically indicated by AIPR, we do not endorse, guarantee factual accuracy, or claim association with the content, opinions, or views expressed by third parties. In addition, AIPR does not give any representation regarding the quality, safety, suitability, or reliability of any external websites. Users should take necessary precautions to safeguard against viruses and other potentially destructive items. ### Policy Changes AIPR reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Privacy Policy at any time. As we do not typically use Personal Information except as provided for above, we are not in a position to notify each user of material changes in our Privacy Policy. We therefore encourage users to check the Privacy Policy to remain informed of any changes. ### Contact Us Please direct any inquiries or complaints about AIPR's Privacy Policy to: - Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation | 2 West 45th Street, Suite 1602 - New York, NY 10036 | Phone: (212) 575 2605 | E-Mail: info@auschwitzinstitute.org ### Terms of Use Your use of this site indicates that you accept these Terms of Use (The "Terms").
