Such services include content submission, newsletters, online communities and closed subscriber-group workspaces, and membership.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable this Platform and its related services to provide you with the services you select. Submitting personal information to this website indicates the acceptance of the user to the use of this information for reporting purposes, and for the purposes of contacting you, or sending information and materials that we, the IFRC, believe may be of interest to you. Whilst this information may be unsolicited, we will only send information we believe may be of interest to you.
As a general rule, the IFRC (“we”), will not disclose any information identifying you personally, except with your permission, where required by law or you or we explicitly state otherwise.

Information may be shared with other components of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, to further facilitate humanitarian assistance.
Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy and aim to meet current Internet best practices regarding your privacy and security.
We use “cookies” to allow you to customize certain aspects of the site and to measure overall traffic patterns on our site.
A cookie is a small piece of information that our web servers send to your browser that is then stored on your computer. That small piece of information allows our computers to recognize revisiting users and also allows our computers to remember things about your past interaction with the site, such as User preferences. They help us monitor website traffic, personalize the content of the site for you, and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the site. They do not collect any data from your computer.
Like many web sites, we collect non-personally identifiable information about our Users via cookies primarily for three purposes:
- To personalize our service for individuals or groups of Users;
- To identify and validate User identification;
- To analyse our traffic patterns.
Our system will issue cookies to your computer when you log on to the site. Cookies may either be permanent (i.e. remaining on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e. remaining only until you close your browser). You may set up your computer to reject cookies using a simple procedure available in most browsers. However, if you block cookies, you may not be able to use certain features on our site and/or may be required to re-enter information more frequently to use certain services on the site.

Log Files
In almost all cases, when you go to a web site, web servers log your interaction with the site in something called a ‘log file’. Standard log files like ours contain basic information such as what time which pages were viewed, the IP address of the User, and the Username (upon login). We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, track User movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We reserve the right to share log file information with our partner National Societies and other partner organizations, with the aim of improving the delivery of personalized service, in the aggregate: We do not give information about single Users, but may group individuals into categories such as User type groups (National Society practitioner, Secretariat practitioners, National Society focal point, National Society staffs, volunteers), always according to information provided by the Users themselves.
Newsletters & Listservs
If a User wishes to subscribe to any of the Platform hosted mailing lists/listservs or email alerts, we may ask for some basic demographic information. We use this information to improve the delivery of customized services, and we may share that information, only in the aggregate, with our partners and potential partners.
Links
This Platform contains links to other sites. Please be aware that the Platform is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our Users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this site.
