This Statement of Privacy applies to the Cyprus Youth Council Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Cyprus Youth Council website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who visit our website, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

The categories of personal data are broadly drawn so that, for example, personal data are considered to be telephone numbers, addresses, financial information, photographs, ID numbers, email addresses, health records, etc.

Data protection is a fundamental right, protected not only by national legislation but also by European Law.

Any questions regarding this Policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to [email protected]

or by calling 22878316

HOW DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU?

The Cyprus Youth Council collects the personal information you provide to deliver different services such as weekly information newsletters and information on campaigns. The data are collected based on the Cyprus Youth Council’s legitimate interests to keep you updated on the Cyprus Youth Council’s activities.

What type of information is collected from you?

The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, IP address, etc.

HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION USED ?

We may use your information to:

Process orders that you have submitted;
Seek your views or comments on the services we provide;
Notify you of changes to our services;
Send you communications, which you have requested and that may be of interest to you. These may include information about campaigns, appeals, and policy briefs, other fundraising activities, process a grant or job application.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION?

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may need to pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents subcontractors, and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to send you mailings). However, when we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond the Cyprus Youth Council network for them to use for their own direct purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

For auditing purposes, we may show attendee lists obtained at events to donors for the sole purpose of verifying that funded events took place.

When you are using our secure online donation pages, a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions, processes your donation. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.

Be informed of how we are using your data

Our Cyprus Youth Council website offers you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. The newsletter provides you periodically with information about our work. To receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address. When subscribing to our newsletter, we will store your IP address as well as the date and time you subscribe. This serves to protect us in the event a third party improperly and without your knowledge makes use of your email address to subscribe to our newsletter. We will not collect any other data. The data thereby collected is used solely for receiving our newsletter. You may cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time by using the unsubscribe bottom.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION

The accuracy of your information is important to us. We are working on ways to make it easier for you to review and correct the information that we hold about you.

If you want to be completely removed from our database or if you want a restriction of your data processing, please send an email to ….@………… or alternatively you can use the unsubscribe button.

If you are a member of the association, be aware that the fact that you ask to be removed from our database or to limit our access to your data, makes us unable to convene you to the meetings or other activities of the association.

You have to right to ask for a copy of the information Cyprus Youth Council hold about you (there will be no charge for this request).

If you are concerned that we have not complied with your legal rights or applicable privacy laws, you may contact the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, https://www.dataprotection.gov.cy/ , which is the regulator responsible for data protection in Cyprus, where the Cyprus Youth Council is located.

PERIOD OF STORAGE

Cyprus Youth Council will store your information as long as you use our Services or you are a member of our network and until five years after your last use of our Services or the termination of the membership.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE LOSS, MISUSE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR INFORMATION

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc…) are transmitted normally over the Internet and this can never be guaranteed to be 100 % secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Cookies Policy

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).

Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a registered WordPress.com user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit one of our websites, irrespective of whether you have an account.

For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.

Where we place cookies

We set cookies in a number of different locations across our services. These include:

On our websites (including automattic.com, wordpress.com, vip.wordpress.com, jetpack.com, woocommerce.com, crowdsignal.com, gravatar.com, intensedebate.com, vaultpress.com, akismet.com, simplenote.com, simperium.com, leandomainsearch.com, cloudup.com, longreads.com, and happy.tools).
In the administrative dashboards of our websites, such as Calypso and wp-admin.
On sites we host for our users.
On sites that use our plugins (e.g. Jetpack).
In the emails we send.

Types of Cookie

The table below explains the types of cookies we use on our websites and why we use them.

Category of cookies	Why we use these cookies
Required	These cookies are essential for our websites and services to perform basic functions and are necessary for us to operate certain features. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account-related functions, store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location, and ensure our services are operating properly.
Analytics and Performance	These cookies allow us to optimize performance by collecting information on how users interact with our websites, including which pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our websites function and to understand how users interact with them.
Advertising	These cookies are set by us and our advertising partners to provide you with relevant content and to understand that content’s effectiveness. They may be used to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites to predict your preferences and to display more relevant advertisements to you. These cookies also allow a profile to be built about you and your interests and enable personalized ads to be shown to you based on your profile.
