Which type of information we collect and process about you?
Information we collect and process with your consent
Through certain actions, such as when you visit our website or ask us to provide you more information about our activities and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.
Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide broad information, for example, to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at icdi@icdi.nl
Information we collect and process because of legal obligations
We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with statutory obligations.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation, such as a court order. This may include your personal information.
Information we collect through automated systems
The information we collect and process in this way have the following purposes:
to facilitate your use of our website;
to uphold the technical functionality of our website and our visitors’ user experience;
to be able to prepare anonymised statistics about the use of our website.
The means we use are:
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow a website to provide you with a personalised experience, and the website owner with statistics about how you use the website so that it can be improved.
Some cookies may last for a defined period of time, such as one day or until you close your browser. Others last indefinitely.

How do we use your information?
Disclosure and sharing of your information
We will not sell or rent out your information to third parties. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your personal information will be kept confidential, and will only be used in connection with the purposes for which it is submitted.
ICDI maintains appropriate and adequate technical and organisational measures in an effective way in order to protect personal data against loss or any form of unauthorized processing and/or access by third parties.
Very rarely, it might happen that we may pass your information to our third party service providers, or other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process donations, or analyse general data). 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 safe.
Any data leaks that might occur despite the precautions we take will be immediately reported to the authorities.
Data processed outside the European Union
Our website is hosted in the Netherlands. However, we work with donors and partners (research and non-profit organizations) from all over the world. Accordingly, data obtained within the Netherlands or any other country might be sometimes processed outside the European Union.
In such cases, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this statement.
If you use our website while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with access.
How do we protect your information?
We shall provide appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss or against any form of unlawful processing and shall impose such security obligations on any data processor we shall enlist. For example, we, or our data processor(s), shall use servers that have been placed in a controlled, secure environment, protected against unauthorised access.
How can you access and remove your information?
We keep records only for as long as they are needed for us to conduct our activities and to comply with our legal obligations.
At any time you may request to access, review, update or delete personally identifiable information that we hold about you. You may do so by contacting us at icdi@icdi.nl
When we receive such requests, we shall first take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or otherwise taking any action. This is important to safeguard your information. We will also inform you about the timelines to complete your request.
