The Institute for Social Informatics, its designees, and any successor organization or member thereof with management or operational authority with respect to a site is committed to respecting your privacy. Please read the following privacy statement to understand how your personal information will be treated. This statement covers five main areas: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy and Access, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness
The Institute for Social Informatics provide this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on the SecureID.Org Site home page and on the bottom of every Institute for Social Informatics site home page.
What We Collect
Some personal information is gathered when you register and sign in, and from our server log files. We may also ask you when you register or at other times to voluntarily provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience, and contact preferences.
How We use It
The Institute for Social Informatics primarily uses your information to better understand your needs and to provide you with a better Site. Specifically, we use your information to support and enhance your use of the Site, to maintain its integrity and content, to enforce its terms of use, and to communicate back to you.
We may use the personal information you voluntarily provide to us for market research and other marketing purposes. You will not received any information you do not request. Unsolicited marketing messages are prohibited under Danish law. Persons must "opt-in" to receive mails.
Who We Share It With
The Institute for Social Informatics will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide on-line with entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf to complete the activities described above. Such related entities and/or business partners, including those located in other countries, are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data.
Choice
The Institute for Social Informatics will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us on-line in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. Your permission is always secured first, should we ever share your information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy.
Accuracy and Access
The Institute for Social Informatics strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. We make every effort to provide you with on-line access to your registration data so that you may update or correct your information at the Web site where it was submitted. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.
Security
The Institute for Social Informatics is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect on-line.
Personally identifiable information collected at Institute for Social Informatics Web Sites, including WWW.SecureID.Org, are protected by the Danish law on professional confidentiality. These Sites operate under the supervision of David S. Stodolsky, who received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology from the University of California. Violation of this law can result in a fine and up to two years in jail. Danish authorities can set aside professional confidentiality only in the case of very serious crime. For example, recently an attorney breached professional confidentiality by revealing the existence of false bank guarantees for approximately a hundred million US dollars. His censure by the Danish Attorney's Association was reversed by a court order and was appealed to a higher court in order to determine whether this crime was serious enough to justify the breach of confidentiality. If the Institute for Social Informatics receives a court order requiring the release of personally identifiable data, the person(s) concerned will immediately be notified, unless such notification is itself a crime, and an appropriate strategy for resisting the order will be negotiated. It is against the policy of the Institute for Social Informatics to release personally identifiable information.
Oversight
