The Protection of Personal Data of our Website Visitors is important to CIJA. We are committed to safeguarding such data in accordance with the applicable laws, as exemplified throughout this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not extend to third-party websites that may be accessed via links disclosed at this Website. Accordingly, CIJA is not legally responsible for the privacy practices used at those websites.

What is Personal Data?

Personal Data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by their name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier. Such a person is also one who can be identified based on the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

CIJA collects and processes Personal Data related to its Website only for the purpose of facilitating the use of this Website and the contact preferences of the Data Subjects. The Personal Data obtained through this Website are not used for any individual evaluations.

CIJA reserves the right to evaluate pseudonymous or anonymized datasets. These can be used for the purpose of system security.

CIJA will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of personal information related to Data Subjects. It will store all the personal data on its secure servers.

What Kind of Personal Data Does CIJA Collect and Process?

Subject to Data Subjects’ consent, CIJA collects information that Data Subjects’ browsers send whenever they visit our Website (so-called “Log Data”). Log Data may include, but is not limited to, information such as the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, browser version, navigation through this Website, time and date of the visit, as well as the time spent on individual pages.

The information is stored and used internally only for website traffic analysis. In the case of session cookies, the collected information will be deleted immediately after the end of a session. If Data Subjects provide unique identifying information on forms displayed by this Website (for example, related to their name, or address), it will be used only for statistical purposes, and will not be published for general access.

Disclosures

CIJA reserves the right to disclose information directly received from and about the Data Subjects to any of our officers, agents, employees, staff, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, CIJA may disclose such personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.

To conduct an internal website traffic analysis, and thus to improve the functioning of this Website, CIJA uses statistical services provided by Google Analytics. Upon consent of the Website Visitors, the information obtained is processed in a non-anonymized form by Google LLC, which may use it for its own purposes (such as profiling and cross-platform tracking). The data subject to the analysis will be kept for so long as it will be required and necessary to perform a website evaluation but no longer than 2 years.

Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, CIJA will not provide personal information about the Data Subjects to third parties.
