For example, when you visit our Website, or purchase our products and services, you authorize Global Diaspora News and its carriers to exchange some of the information you provide during the transaction to carry out service with us and our partners. If you are approved for service, your account will be governed by Global Diaspora News and its carrier’s respective privacy policies. Personal information will only be shared by Global Diaspora News to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Global Diaspora News may share personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever Global Diaspora News operates.

It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Global Diaspora News to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or Users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

Some Global Diaspora News products may be co-branded and offered together with or via a partner company.

6.8. Disclosures to Others as the Result of a Change in Control or Sale of Global Diaspora News Company or Service

As Global Diaspora News continues to develop its business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In any such transactions in which Global Diaspora News or substantially all its assets are acquired by a third party, personal information of Global Diaspora News Users will generally be one of the transferred business assets. We reserve the right to include your personal information in any such transfer to a third party. So we may also disclose your personal information and other information you provide to another third party as part of a sale of the assets of Global Diaspora News, a subsidiary or division, or as the result of a change in control of the company. Any third party to which Global Diaspora News transfers or sells Global Diaspora News’ assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us.

7. Security and Protection of Personal Information

Global Diaspora News takes precautions to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Global Diaspora News online services use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on certain web pages where personal information is collected. To use some of our Service, you may be asked to use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Chrome. The web browser you use may affect the effectiveness of the encryption. Internet Explorer may not support/work for certain SSL encryption/protection, so we recommend you choose your web browser wisely.

Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet. We recommend that you do NOT share your log in information with others.

The personal information you share when you use some Global Diaspora News products, services, or applications or when you post on a Global Diaspora News forum, chat room, or social networking service, is visible to other Users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. To help us protect your data, please take care when using these features and while sharing information with others.

At all times, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your unique password and account information and for controlling access to your email communications. You are also fully responsible for all activities that occur under your username and password. You agree to immediately notify Global Diaspora News of any unauthorized use of your username or password or any other breach of security, and to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Global Diaspora News will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision. You should be cautious when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. If you share your computer with others, you may wish to consider disabling your auto-sign in feature (e.g. if you have linked your Window’s Live ID to your Global Diaspora News account).

Since the internet is an unsecure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Global Diaspora News. There is NO guarantee that information may not be accessed, copied, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Finally, to ensure your personal data is secure, we communicate our Privacy Policy to Global Diaspora News employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within our company.

8. Retention of Personal Information

Global Diaspora News may retain your information for so long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

For other personal information, you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if Global Diaspora News is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Please be aware that even after your request for a change is processed, Global Diaspora News may, for a time, retain residual information about you in its backup and/or archival copies of its database.

If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this policy.

10. Closing and Memorializing Account

You can close your account anytime. To do so, please send us an email at contact@GlobalDiasporaNews.com. If that happens, we will remove your name and other personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable database. If you close your account, we have no obligation to retain your information, and we may delete any or all of your account information without liability. However, we may retain certain data contributed by you if Global Diaspora News believes it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. Global Diaspora News may also retain and use your information if necessary, to provide the Service to other Users. Information you have shared with others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain visible.
