We use this information only to perform internal research on our users' demographics, interests and preferences, and to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. None of this information can identify you as an individual. This information may include referring URLs (such as search engines), the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the website or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the website or not), the time you spent on our website, which country you accessed our website from, your computer browser and browser language, operating system information, your resolution/screen size and your IP address.

Personally Identifiable Information: When you are on an area of http://www.aiddata.org or a subdomain and are asked for personally identifiable information, such as when subscribing to the AidData newsletter, you are providing that information to AidData. We use your personally identifiable information to facilitate the services you request (e.g., to receive the AidData newsletter). As a matter of policy, we do not rent or sell any of your personally identifiable information to any third parties. Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this privacy policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personally identifiable information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.
