What
Information About Users Does aedb.org Collect? |
We
consider any information that could reasonably be used to
identify you as "personally identifying information."
AEDB does not retain personally identifiable information
about you when you visit our Website unless you choose to
provide such information to us (i.e. sending an e-mail,
registering as a user, participating in a survey, responding
to a feedback or "contact us" form, etc.)
Government departments, agencies and organizations may request
personally identifiable information from you in order to
provide requested services however, such information is
handled as in the case of an in-person visit to that same
department, agency or organization.

E-Mail
Communications and Web Forms |
If
you send us an electronic mail message with a question or
comment that contains personally identifying information,
or fill out a form that e-mails us information, we will
use this personally identifying information only to respond
to your request. We may redirect your message to another
government agency or person who is in a better position
to respond to your query or comment.
All e-mail messages received contain the e-mail addresses
of persons who voluntarily communicated with or requested
information from us. Your e-mail addresses are not sold,
leased or shared with any non-governmental or commercial
entities without the user's consent. When a user has given
us their e-mail address for purposes of communicating with
or requesting information from us, that communication becomes
part of the public record and may be subject to public inspection
and copying if not protected by law.
Information submitted via e-mail or web forms may be at
risk of being intercepted, read or modified. You are advised
not to pass on any personal and confidential information
such as security passwords and credit card numbers while
using this Website unless specifically required by an authorized
person. Alternative Energy Development Board shall not be
liable for any misuse or loss of any such information.

Security
Measures |
We
take very seriously the integrity of the information and
systems that we maintain. Hence, appropriate safeguards
have been employed to ensure that any personal information
is secure from destruction, corruption, unauthorized access
and breach of confidentiality.
Several steps have been taken to safeguard the integrity
of our computer systems and networks. These steps include,
but are not limited to individual authentication, the security
of transmitted data, security monitoring, auditing and encryption
of your information.

Is
User Information Shared? |
Except
as provided by applicable laws, we do not collect, use or
disclose user information without the user's knowledge and
approval. We do not share user information with third parties
unless we have informed users about the disclosures or have
prior consent. |
Can
I Access and Correct My Personal Information? |
Users
concerned about information contained in their personal
records should contact the custodian of the record, which
typically is the AEDB entity that collects and maintains
the information. You may request changes or annotate your
personal information if you believe it to be inaccurate
by submitting a written request describing the error.
The AEDB does not collect any personally identifiable information
other than what you provide. The automatic data recorded
is not matched with any of that personally identifiable
information, therefore information cannot be provided about
your visit.
