Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Protection: Boys & Girls Clubs of Senegal has implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. When users submit sensitive information via the website, Boys & Girls Clubs of Senegal deploys commercially reasonable efforts to protect their information both online and offline. However, we cannot guarantee that third parties will never be able to circumvent these measures or use your personal information for inappropriate purposes.

When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted and protected with software called SSL. Although we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we will deploy commercially reasonable efforts to protect user personal information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job such as our billing department are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. The servers that are used to store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please contact Boys & Girls Clubs of Senegal (BGCSN) at legal@senegalbgc.org.

How long we retain your data: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
