Middle East Peace Dialogue Network, Inc.  (“we,” “us,” “our”) provides this Privacy Policy to better protect our users’ (“you”) privacy and explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way personally identifiable information about you is being collected and used. This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected from you during your use of our Web site, located at http://www.mepdn.org.
By using this Site or by providing any personally identifiable information, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Please note that we review our privacy policies from time to time, and as such we may revise this Privacy Policy, at our sole discretion, by posting an amended policy on the Site. We ask that you periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will become effective upon our posting of the revised Privacy Policy on the Site.

You will be able to determine when this Privacy Policy was last revised by checking the “Last updated” information that appears at the top of this page.

The Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information: Our Site does not automatically collect any personally identifiable information (information that identifies you or can identify you as an individual) from visitors. We collect personally identifiable information only when you provide it in the course of interacting with the Site, such as when you subscribe to an email newsletter, sign up for direct mail, take part in message boards, participate in polls or surveys, or make a donation. In so doing, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, or information about your interests and activities. You may choose not to provide such personally identifiable information, but this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific service or particular content, or collect your donation.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: As part of administrating the Site, our servers may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information. This is aggregated information or other information that does not identify you, such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and usage patterns of our Site.

Cookies and Tracking Pixels: We also use cookies, tracking pixels and other technologies to track activity on our Site and to enhance the functionality of our Site. Cookies are small pieces of information that our server places on a visitor’s computer hard drive to enable that person to more easily communicate and interact with the Site and to provide us with important information on how visitors use the Site. Tracking pixels (also known as web beacons, action tags, or transparent GIF files) collect and store information about your visits to Web sites, such as page visits, the duration of the visit and the specific advertisements or link(s) that you clicked on your visit. The tracking pixels are provided to us by our third party ad service providers. The information collected by such tracking pixels is used in aggregate only for reporting purposes and is not used in connection with your personally identifiable information. Many Web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change your browser settings to either reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is about to be placed on your computer. Similarly, you may refer to the “help” portion on the toolbar for detailed instructions on enabling and disabling tracking pixels. Please note, however, that if you prevent the setting of cookies or prevent the collection of automatic non-personally identifiable information, you will not be able to access portions of our Site and will not be able to make donations.

How the Information is Used

We may use personally identifiable information about you to provide services to you, at your request. We may use it to communicate with you through periodic messages regarding services, events, and other information and notices we believe you may find interesting or useful. We may use it for confirmation of donations, subscriptions, or other actions you take on our Site, to send newsletters, and for related customer service needs. We use information you provide about others to enable us to send them your greeting cards.

We use the automatic non-personally identifiable information collected to maintain, secure and improve our site, and understand your interests when visiting our Site. We do not collect any personally identifiable information via a user’s IP address.

How the Information is Disclosed

The Middle East Dialogue Network, Inc. relies on various service providers and other contractors to support its Site and operations. We may share personally identifiable information collected with these third parties, including without limitation: contractors who maintain our membership database or send email alerts and/or newsletters, on our behalf; web site hosting or information technology consulting services; web site management; marketing and promotion services or partners; data analysis; auditors; lawyers; and other administrative, back-up and security services. These third parties are committed to protecting the privacy of our members and subscribers, and will not utilize your information for any purpose but to provide the services which we contract for. We may share aggregate information about Site usage and traffic patterns, stripped of any personally identifiable information, with third parties to comply with various reporting obligations and for business or marketing purposes.

We do not sell, rent, exchange or otherwise share our email lists and any personally identifiable information about you with any third parties outside of the Middle East Peace Dialogue Network for their direct marketing purposes.

The Middle East Peace Dialogue Network, Inc. also may disclose personally identifiable information in order to: (1) comply with applicable laws; (2) respond to governmental inquiries or requests; (3) comply with valid legal process; (4) protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of the Middle East Peace Dialogue Network, Site visitors, or the public; (5) respond to an emergency; (6) [enforce our Terms of Service; and (7)] permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Security with Online Donations

We seek to adopt commercially reasonable security measures consistent with industry practice to ensure the security of personally identifiable information in our possession and to protect it from unauthorized access. Once your credit card has been processed, your credit card information is not stored on our servers. Note that although we make good faith efforts to store personally identifiable information in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, no system transmitting data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we, therefore, cannot guarantee complete security. If you have reasons to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us of the problem by contacting us as explained at the bottom this Privacy Policy.

Use of Cookies And Pixels

Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” and server logs to collect information about how our site is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

The Company reserves the right to use technological equivalents of cookies, including social media pixels. These pixels allow social media sites to track visitors to outside websites so as to tailor advertising messages users see while visiting that social media website. The Company reserves the right to use these pixels in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites.​
