This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for gheli.harvard.edu.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE GATHER ABOUT YOU?
We collect information from you when you access gheli.harvard.edu and when you subscribe to our email service.
WHAT DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR?
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website by identifying (1) which parts of our site are most heavily used, and (2) which portion of our audience comes from within the Harvard network. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.
This means that user sessions will be tracked, but the users will remain anonymous.
The email address you provide may be used to send you information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
User information may be shared with third-party partners to the extent necessary to provide and improve web services or other communications to users. Any third parties who receive user information for this purpose are prohibited from using or sharing user information for any purpose other than providing services to users.
We may also provide your information to third parties in circumstances where we believe that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users, or others.

We may collect non-personal information about the computer, mobile device, or other device you use to access gheli.harvard.edu, such as IP address, geolocation information, unique device identifiers, browser type, browser language, or other information of this nature. We use this information in an aggregate fashion to track access to gheli.harvard.edu. At no time do we disclose site usage by individual IP addresses. Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted from our systems.
COOKIES

These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Cookies may be set by an organization other than gheli.harvard.edu. These “third-party cookies” may, for example, originate from websites such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus or other social media services for which gheli.harvard.edu has implemented “plug-ins.” Since the cookie policies of these sites change over time, you should determine their policies by visiting the privacy policy pages of these sites directly.
You may disable cookies through your individual browser options. If you would like to learn more about cookies please refer to the following website: http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

We provide hyperlinks to third-party websites as a resource to users of gheli.harvard.edu. gheli.harvard.edu does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for the contents of any linked-to, third-party websites or any hyperlink in a linked-to website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party websites.
EMAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS
gheli.harvard.edu allows you to subscribe online, and receive occasional email messages from the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, follow the 'unsubscribe' instructions located near the bottom of each email.
