The MCIF collects and processes your data in order to provide the services you request.

If you create an account on our website, your data will automatically appear in the relevant places if you subsequently make use of another MCIF service.

The MCIF only processes these data in certain situations:

if you have explicitly given your permission for us to do so; or
if it is necessary to process the data in order to provide a service you have requested (e.g. your address in order for us to send a publication, or your bank account number for us to pay financial support); or
if we are legally obliged to process the data (e.g. your national registration number in order to issue a tax certificate); or
if it is necessary in the public interest or for a legitimate purpose (e.g. publication on our website of those organisations and people who have received financial support from us).

HOW DOES THE MCIF MANAGE PERSONAL DATA?

Data about people who are minors and sensitive personal data (e.g. health information and bank account numbers) are always treated as confidential and never made public.

Your data are only used for the service you have requested (unless the conditions described in the paragraph above are met). If, for instance, you subscribe to one or more e-news, we only use your details to send you these newsletters. Each e-news also gives you the opportunity to unsubscribe.

We never pass on your contact details to third parties for commercial purposes.

We do not sell any personal data to third parties, nor do we pass on data to third parties.

We ensure that any transfer of personal data to partner countries within the Myriad alliance (e.g. in relation to donations, e-news, e-mails etc.) is conducted in compliance with the appropriate guarantees.

Our website makes use of social media plugins to enable you to access our social media channels and to enable you to share content on your own social networks. These social media channels are Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube. When you click on any of these links, the social media service provider may collect personal data about you, such as information about your profile.

We cannot guarantee how these social media may use your personal data. In such instances it is they (each social media) who act as the controller of personal data. Each social network provides information regarding its privacy policy.
