Privacy Notice
This section of the page explains how the Jordan Tourism Development
Project (Siyaha) will handle information we learn about you
from your visit to our website. The information we receive
depends upon what you do when visiting our site.
| |
If you visit our site to read or download information:
We collect and
store only the following information about you: the
name of the domain from which you access the Internet
(for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from
an America Online account, or iowa.edu if you are
connecting from the University of Iowa's domain);
the date and time you access our site, the Internet
address of the website from which you linked directly
to our site; and what information you view while you
visit our website.
We use the information
we collect to measure the number of visitors to the
different sections of our site, find out what information
is the most viewed, and to help us make our website
more useful to visitors. This gathering and storing
of information is separate from the activity described
as monitoring in our Security Notice.
The information
gathered is used for two purposes: site management
and, in the case of suspected unauthorized activity,
for law enforcement and possible criminal prosecution
(see Security Notice).
If you identify yourself by sending us an email using
our contact page:
You also may decide
to send us personally-identifying information, for
example, in an email message. We use personally-identifying
information to respond to your comment or suggestion.
In certain instances, your comment or suggestion may
be forwarded to others if they are in the best position
to respond to your message.
We want to be
very clear: We will not obtain personally-identifying
information about you when you visit our site unless
you choose to provide such information to us. |
Cookies
and Other Information Stored on Your Computer
In general, this site
does NOT use the "cookies" that some websites
use to gather and store information about your visits to
their sites.
Cookies are essentially
tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords,
which some web servers collect from you when you access
them. That data is stored on your hard drive-not on the
website's server. Whenever you visit a "cookie"
site, the server looks for its cookie on your hard drive
and, if found, then reads the information it stored there.
Cookies generally are stored in your browser's directory
or folder in a file named cookie.txt (MagicCookie on a Macintosh).
Further, some of the
links on the Siyaha website point to non-USAID sites which
may place cookies on your computer. If you want to avoid
such cookies, we encourage you to set your browser to notify
you when cookies are being set and allow you to reject them.
Your system's help files will explain how to do this.
