anaonline.org - The Association of the Nepalis in the Americas

The following policy governs anaonline.org's online collection of information from you. Specifically, it outlines the types of information that anaonline.org gathers about you while you are using the Service, and the way that anaonline.org uses and doesn't use this information. This Privacy Policy, including the children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means; for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail. The information that collects about visitors while they are using the Service falls into two general categories:

1. Information You Provide to Us:

anaonline.org may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that you voluntarily supply either while on the anaonline.org website or in responding, via e-mail to a feature provided on the anaonline.org website. Some examples of this type of information include: demographic information that you electronically submit when you sign up for access to certain features on the Service, information (such as your name or e-mail address) that you electronically submit when you register for surveys or contents on the anaonline.org website, information that you post on message boards on the anaonline.org website, and information contained in search requests or questions that you submit to the anaonline.org website. If you decline to supply or provide anaonline.org with certain information while using the Service, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Service.

2. Information that is Automatically Collected:

anaonline.org also collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the anaonline.org website. For example, to enhance your experience on the anaonline.org website, anaonline.org uses a standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the anaonline.org site, cookies help us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the anaonline.org site where you have entered preference information before. anaonline.org also uses web beacons (also known as "single-pixel GIFs") to access cookies and to count users who visit the anaonline.org site or open anaonline.org's HTML-formatted email messages. Another example of information that anaonline.org automatically collects as you navigate the anaonline.org site is information about your computer's connection to the Internet. This information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the anaonline.org site.

3. How is the Information Used?

Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides anaonline.org. anaonline.org cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third party use of information that you disclose online. Be aware that anaonline.org may occasionally release information about visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Terms of Service agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, the public, or anaonline.org.
