Online Privacy Policy
The Cairo Citizen Online Privacy Policy
The Cairo Citizen Online takes your privacy concerns
seriously. The following policy explains our position on information
gathering and how we use any user data we collect.
We will not give your phone number to any telemarketing department or
sell your e-mail address to any company, for any mailing list.
Information about you specifically
You can access our Web site home page and browse our site without
disclosing personal data. We collect your personal data only with your
knowledge.
When you fill out a form on our site, we ask for this information: name,
address, daytime phone, e-mail address, etc. We use some of this
information in aggregate form to learn more about our visitors.
We do not sell or use any of this personal information outside of our
department. We do not disclose your personal information to any third
party unless compelled by law. All of our employees who have access to
your personal information are obliged to keep it confidential.
Information about you in general
We do collect statistics about our readers. For example,
our statistical logs identify the browsers people use to get to our
pages (e.g. Netscape Navigator, AOL or Internet Explorer), the IP
addresses of the computers used to access our pages and the computers'
operating systems (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS). It does not gather
visitors' e-mail addresses or their identities. These are only collected
in aggregate; we cannot identify individuals who simply look at our
pages.
We may share aggregate information with advertisers or business
partners.
Children's privacy
We are particularly concerned with providing a safe
online environment for children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit
personally identifiable information from or about children under 13. If
we discover that we have received any information from a child under 13
in violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe The Cairo Citizen Online has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at info@cairocitizen.com.
We strongly recommend parental supervision when a child uses the
Internet, particularly when a child uses e-mail. We also encourage
parents to instruct their children not to give out personal information
over the Internet.
Information collection by other people
Our Web site may allow you to communicate with other
visitors or to post information to be accessed by others. When you use
these services, your data may be collected by other visitors. This
includes guestbook entries and any information you include in classified
ads or any of our news services that appears online.
In addition, we may occasionally have banner advertising from
advertising networks, which do use cookies.
Cookies
Cookies are text files we place in your computer's
browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell
us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information.
We may use cookies in order to save passwords so they do not have to be
re-entered. We do not collect any information from this limited use of
cookies.
You can "turn off" cookies in the preferences section of your
browser or set it so that you will see a warning dialog box every time a
site tries to place a cookie on your hard drive.
Secure transmission
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure, especially unencrypted information. We do our best to protect your personal information, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems and within our department.
