PRIDNESTROVIE.NET is a general audience web site, and does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13 years of age.
From time to time PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our PII collection and use practices, the features of our web sites or technology. If we make revisions that change the way we collect of use your PII, those changes will be posted in the Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If PRIDNESTROVIE.NET materially changes its practices regarding collection or use of your PII, your PII will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of and have not objected to the change.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII") BY PRIDNESTROVIE.NET
General. PRIDNESTROVIE.NET collects personally identifiable information ("PII" -- that is, information such as your full name, email address, mailing address or telephone number) only in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you, it is because you voluntarily submit the information to us in order to participate in activities like surveys, forums, subscription registrations, mailing lists or bulletin boards, in connection with content or suggestions you submit to us or because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information. We may also obtain PII from third parties.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that the PRIDNESTROVIE.NET web sites place on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on our site(s) and enable PRIDNESTROVIE.NET to make your visits to our site(s) more enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your password for easy logon to a site you have previously visited, can save your preferences for a personalized home page or can track the items you have placed in your "shopping cart" during a visit to our online store. Information about your activities on PRIDNESTROVIE.NET sites and other non-personally identifiable information about you may also be used to limit the online ads you encounter to those we believe are consistent with your interests.
Third party information displayed on PRIDNESTROVIE.NET's sites may also contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers. PRIDNESTROVIE.NET does not control these advertiser cookies and visitors to our web site(s) should check the privacy policy of the Internet advertising company or advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies (see "Notice" below for more information on third party advertisements).
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web site(s) to PII obtained from you or a reputable third party. For example, if you've asked us to provide you information about our upcoming features, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on PRIDNESTROVIE.NET web sites may allow us to limit the materials we provide you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences. However, if PRIDNESTROVIE.NET wishes to combine your personal and cookie and click stream information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, without cookies you will not have access to certain features on PRIDNESTROVIE.NET's web site(s), such as interactive "polling" and video player settings.
NOTICE: PRIDNESTROVIE.NET Will Provide You with Notice About Its PII Collection Practices
When you voluntarily provide PII to PRIDNESTROVIE.NET, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses PRIDNESTROVIE.NET will make of the information.
At the time you provide your PII, PRIDNESTROVIE.NET will notify you of your options regarding our use of PII, including whether we will share it with outside partners (See “Choice” below). This Policy describes the types of other companies that may want to send you information about their products and services and therefore may want to share your personal information, provided you have given PRIDNESTROVIE.NET permission to do so (see "Use" below).
Sometimes we collect personally identifiable information from consumers in manual format or off-line, such as a post card or subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other relevant information from us.
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET's web site(s) may be linked to Internet sites operated by other organizations. PRIDNESTROVIE.NET's pages may also carry links to other web sites. PRIDNESTROVIE.NET is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our site(s) and in general for the privacy practices of third parties. Once you’ve left PRIDNESTROVIE.NET via such a link or by clicking on an banner, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may also be linked to sites operated by organizations affiliated with PRIDNESTROVIE.NET (i.e., that are part the government of Pridnestrovie) or sites which sponsor us, advice us or collaborate with us (such as the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty, at www.icdiss.org). Although all Pridnestrovian government entities adhere to the standard Privacy Principles, visitors to those affiliated sites should still refer to their separate privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some respects from this Policy.
CHOICE: PRIDNESTROVIE.NET Will Provide You with Choices About the Use of Your PII
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET will not use the PII you provide to us for purposes different from the purpose for which it was submitted or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with PRIDNESTROVIE.NET, unless we obtain your permission.
USE: PRIDNESTROVIE.NET’s Use of PII
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET will use your PII provided under this Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. If PRIDNESTROVIE.NET obtains PII from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is governed by this Policy.
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may share your PII with entities that are affiliated with us, such as government ministries and other government entities of Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica. Provided you have given us permission, PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may also share your PII with outside organizations and partners that are not affiliated with PRIDNESTROVIE.NET, but would like to send you information about their work. However, you will always have the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information with third parties when PII is collected.
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET employees, agents and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may share your PII with outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities (i.e., lobbying, fundraising, order fulfillment, statistical analyses) but they may only use your PII to provide PRIDNESTROVIE.NET with a specific service and not for any other purpose.
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may also enter into agreements with outside organizations that possess the technology which allows PRIDNESTROVIE.NET to customize the informational messages which you receive on our web site. Your non-PII and click stream data about your activities on our sites may be shared with these groups so this customization can be accomplished. These groups will not share your information with any third party or use it for any other purposes. Anonymous click stream and demographic information may also be shared with PRIDNESTROVIE.NET’s partners.
There may be instances when PRIDNESTROVIE.NET may disclose PII without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of PRIDNESTROVIE.NET or their employees, agents and contractors; to protect the safety and security of visitors to our web sites; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process.
SECURITY: PRIDNESTROVIE.NET Protects the Security of PII
PRIDNESTROVIE.NET uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, PRIDNESTROVIE.NET uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete. Passwords and other sensitive information stored by PRIDNESTROVIE.NET are encrypted both in transit and when stored within PRIDNESTROVIE.NET’s online databases.
