The Tsunami Day Trust (“The Trust”) is a charitable organisation whose reputation is built on trust - so respecting your privacy is of paramount importance to us. Any information that you give us is secured with the utmost care and will only be used as described in this privacy policy.
In essence, we operate by these principles:
Personal information is information that can be used to uniquely identify you - such as your name, date of birth or mailing address. The Trust keeps you in control of any personal information you supply to us online. At any time you can:
To make any of these requests simply contact us by e-mail at mail@tsunamiday.org and we will respond in a timely manner.
We maintain strict security measures in order to protect the loss or misuse of any information under our control. These include encrypting sensitive data (such as passwords or credit card details) when sending or receiving it over the Internet as well as the physical protection of our servers.
In addition, all Trust employees are required to sign legally binding confidentiality agreements before they may access any sensitive data – and even then this access is strictly limited to the level required for each employee to carry out their specific duties only.
To the extent that we collect any personal information from our users we only use that information to operate and improve our service, or occasionally to inform you of new features, services, and products offered by ourselves (or subsidiary or affiliated organisations or companies). We will never knowingly disclose personal information about you to any third party without your explicit consent, except as described below:
1. Where a service is to be provided by an intermediary we may disclose your personal information to that intermediary solely for the purpose of ensuring the effective delivery of our service to you - to send you a package, for example, or to process a credit card payment. These intermediaries do not use or retain this information for any other purpose, unless they inform you otherwise.
2. We may also occasionally permit selected sponsors or commercial partners to send you promotional material or special offers that we believe may be of special interest to you. If you would prefer not to receive these communications you can ‘opt out’ when you register - or do so later by indicating this on the offer you have received. Alternatively, you can notify us at any time that you do not wish your personal information to be shared in this way simply by sending an e-mail to mail@tsunamiday.org
3. Finally, we may disclose your personal information if required to do so by a competent legal or law enforcement authority or if we believe in good faith that such a disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property.
A ‘cookie’ is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive and which records your navigation of a Web site so that, when you revisit that Web site, it can present tailored options to you based upon stored information about your last visit.
We use ‘cookies’ to monitor site user traffic patterns and site usage. This helps us to understand how both consumers and business owners use our Web site so that we can develop and improve its design, layout and functionality. We never use cookies to retrieve personally identifiable information about you.
If you set up your computer to refuse our cookies we have no way of knowing who you are and some features of this Web site may not function properly.
When you purchase a product or service from The Trust or from one of our affiliates and/or partners we may collect credit card or bank account information from you for invoicing purposes. In the case of credit cards, an intermediary processes this information for us.
Both The Trust and this intermediary use sophisticated security techniques, including encryption and secure servers, to protect against any unauthorized access to transmitted information used for invoicing purposes. Neither The Trust nor our intermediary stores, uses or shares your credit card or bank account information for any other purpose.
As a service to our users tsunamiday.org features links to other Web sites that are outside of our control and responsibility - and which may have their own policies regarding user privacy. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with these policies before providing any information to these sites.
Monitoring of telephone calls or e-mailsWe may amend this privacy policy from time to time in which case the amended version will be published here in this section of tsunamiday.org. You can see when this policy was last updated by looking at the ‘Last Updated’ field at the top of this page. If we do decide to make any changes, we always give notice of them here thirty days before they take effect – providing you with the opportunity to opt out or otherwise prevent them from affecting you.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this privacy policy please e-mail mail@tsunamiday.org or write to us at The Tsunami Day Trust, 3rd Flr. Muang Mai Building, 9/17 Moo 6 Thepkrasattri Road, Phuket City, Phuket 83000, Thailand and we will be happy to address your enquiry.
