1. Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Stimulus Africa collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Stimulus Africa's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Stimulus Africa's visitors use its website. From time to time, Stimulus Africa may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Stimulus Africa also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://www.stimulusafrica.org blog posts. Stimulus Africa only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
2. Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Stimulus Africa's websites choose to interact with Stimulus Africa in ways that require Stimulus Africa to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Stimulus Africa gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at https://www.stimulusafrica.org to provide a username and email address.
3. Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
4. Aggregated Statistics
Stimulus Africa may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. Stimulus Africa may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Stimulus Africa does not disclose your personally-identifying information.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Stimulus Africa may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Stimulus Africa's sole discretion. Stimulus Africa encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
