Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

Privacy Statement
 
This section of this website explains how the Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS2) project that is being managed by the Education Development Center 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; 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, to 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 a comment on our Contact Us page, you may also decide to send us personally-identifying information, as, for example, in an e-mail, asking a question or providing us with a comment or suggestion. We use personally-identifying information to respond to your comment or suggestion, and to count the number of people sending us comments. In certain instances, your comment or suggestion may be forwarded to other organizations with work related to that of EQuALLS2 if they are in the best position to respond to your message.
 
 
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 the cookie is found, the server reads the information it stored there. Cookies are generally stored in your browser's directory or folder in a file named cookie.txt (MagicCookie on a Macintosh).
 
We are also informing you that some of the links on the EQuALLS2 website point to non-EQuALLS2 sites that may place cookies on your computer. You can expect to be notified that you are leaving the EQuALLS2 site when you select one of these links. Please note, however, that the non-EQuALLS2 site may still place a cookie on your computer while you are reading the warning message.
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.
 
 
Security Notice
 
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this website employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
 
Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under Philippine law.
 
We will generally not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us.
 
If monitoring reveals evidence of possible criminal activity, such evidence may be provided to law enforcement personnel.

In return, we request only that EQuALLS2 be cited as the source of any information, photos, and images copied from this site and that any photo credits or bylines be similarly credited to the photographer or author.
 
We strongly recommend that EQuALLS2 data be acquired directly from this website and not through other sources that may change the information in some way or exclude material crucial to the understanding of that information.
