Because we gather certain types of information about the users of the DOT-COM Alliance web site and services, we want to ensure that you fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. We do not collect personal information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide this information to us; for example, when you subscribe to our subscription list, register to gain access to a document, or send an email through our web site. However, we collect and store certain information automatically in order to evaluate and improve our web site over time.

If You Use The "Email This Page" Tool You may choose to use our web site to email pages (such as newsletter articles and digital postcards) to other people. We keep copies of all emails being sent this way and are reviewed periodically by internal staff both for security and user information. If you have a question or problem with an email sent to you using the DOT-COM web site, do not hesitate to contact us at WE DO NOT share those emails (including addresses) with non-DOT-COM staff, nor do we add these email addresses to our subscription list. Emails sent through our website are not endorsed by the DOT-COM Alliance, AED or its partners nor USAID. Such communications shall not be considered reviewed, screened, or approved by the DOT-COM Alliance, AED or its partners nor USAID. Registration pages From time to time, we offer access to certain documents (such as requests for proposals) to users once they have registered their name and contact information with DOT-COM. This information is used by DOT-COM to track who is accessing these documents and possibly follow up with additional information. DOT-COM does not share this information with non-DOT-COM staff unless explicitly stated otherwise (generally when shared, it is with related partners and USAID mission staff). The registration process involves placing a cookie on your computer authorizing you to access the document in question. All downloads are logged by username and date. It is unauthorized for users to register with DOT-COM, obtain a username/password and then share that username/password with other users with the intention of circumventing the registration process. It is also unauthorized to share the downloaded document with other users who have not registered with the DOT-COM Alliance. There may be other restrictions related to the specific document. What We Collect and Store Automatically Name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, "aol.com," if you use an America Online account, or "princeton.edu," if you connect from Princeton University's domain); - Date and time you access our site; and - IP Address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. For DOT-COM resource partners and secretariat members and those registering for access to certain sections of the site, the DOT-COM Alliance web site sets a cookie on your computer as part of the login security process. A cookie is a small bit of code stored on your hard drive that enables you to manage your subscriptions and online profile. This cookie is destroyed when you close the brower. If You Send Us E-mail You may choose to provide us with personal information, as in e-mail with a comment or question. We use the information to improve our service to you or to respond to your request. If we do not know the answer to your question, we may need to forward your e-mail to other persons who may be better able to help you. Terms to Know Cookie: A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site 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 web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Once the user has closed the browser, the cookie is either:
IP Address: When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For many users accessing the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on. The DOT-COM Alliance does this to learn about the geographical make-up of its web site traffic.
