The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) places the highest importance on your privacy online.
This Privacy Statement describes UNICEF’s policy regarding the collection and use of information from visitors to UNICEF’s website and the disclosure of that information.
The Policy applies to all “UNICEF websites,” i.e. all sites within the “unicef.org” and “unicef.rs” domains.
You should note that through this website you may reach or be directed to other sites that relate to UNICEF, such as the sites of our national committees (the various private charities around the world whose mission is to support UNICEF); all those sites have their own privacy policies similar to this one, but may have some differences.
By visiting a UNICEF website, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
In general, you can browse the UNICEF website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information. The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs.
This includes your IP address (Internet Protocol Address), domain name, browser type, operating system and other information such as the referring website, files downloaded, pages visited and dates/times of those visits.
If you subscribe to a newsletter, register on a specific UNICEF website, order a book or another product, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or sign up for a mailing list, you may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number.
This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission and is stored in various UNICEF databases.
If you make a purchase online or choose to make a donation through our website, you may be asked to provide payment card details.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of all our customers/donors. We collect only the essential customer/user/donor personal data and the data required for the business transactions and for keeping users/donors informed in line with best business practices, as well as for the provision of high-quality service. Customers/donors are offered the option to be removed from mailing lists used for marketing campaigns. All user/customer/donor data is strictly protected and accessible only to employees who require that information to perform their duties. All UNICEF staff (and business partners) are responsible for upholding our privacy protection principles.
Certain UNICEF websites with specific data collection requirements may publish a site-specific privacy policy. In such cases, the site-specific policy supplements this general UNICEF Privacy Policy, while specifying additional provisions of relevance to the particular use.
When registering or submitting personal data on certain UNICEF websites, a cookie* may be set.
By setting a cookie, UNICEF “remembers” your information for future visits, so you do not have to re-enter it each time. This helps us provide a better user experience.
If you join an online discussion group, other participants (including individuals not employed by UNICEF) may be able to view the personal information you provide. In open discussion forums, such information is publicly visible.
When entering payment card information, confidential information is transmitted through a public network in a secure (encrypted) form using the SSL protocol and PKI system, as the most up-to-date cryptographic technology. The security of data during the purchase is , guaranteed by the payment card processor, so the entire payment process is carried out in a secure environment. Your card information is not available to our system at any time.
A number of sites in the UNICEF domain are focused on children, including interactive sites for group discussions. Some of these sites require the child user to provide UNICEF with personal information. If so, only the minimum amount of personal information will be asked.
These sections of the UNICEF website are intended solely for children and authorized adults, so unauthorized adults should not use these parts of the UNICEF website. (Collecting user data helps us enforce this policy when needed.)
Children should inform their parents or adults caring for them that they are visiting UNICEF websites and providing this limited user information.
Data collected during general browsing of the “unicef.org” and “unicef.rs” domains is used to analyze trends and usage of the UNICEF website, as well as to improve website usability. This is not related to personal user data in any way.
However, if you have registered on the UNICEF website in relation to a specific activity, the data collected on your general Internet usage may be identifiable as yours.
UNICEF may use the personal information you provide to:
Providing personal data on UNICEF websites is not mandatory. Even if you choose not to provide such data, you can still browse and use the UNICEF website. However, you may not be able to carry out certain actions, such as purchasing items, making donations, signing up for newsletters or applying for jobs.
Vi u svakom trenutku možete obrisati ili promeniti svoje podatke tako što ćete se vratiti na veb stranicu na kojoj ste prvi put ostavili podatke i obratiti osobi za kontakt za tu stranicu, odnosno za relevantni sektor UNICEF-a.
Ako podaci za kontakt nisu navedeni na toj stranici, možete nam se obratiti za dodatne informacije.
You may delete or modify your personal data at any time by returning to the website where you originally provided the data and contacting the contact person for the website or the relevant UNICEF department.
If contact information is not provided on that page, you may reach out to us for further assistance.
We will not sell or share your personal data submitted through UNICEF websites with third parties without your prior consent. However, in some cases, some user data may be shared with National Committees to enable the entire UNICEF family to respond to your needs.
All data provided to UNICEF by users of its websites are safeguarded with the highest degree of vigilance and security and will not be used in any way other than as described in this Privacy Policy, in site-specific policies, or in ways for which you have provided your explicit consent.
UNICEF employs a range of techniques and security measures to protect the data stored in our systems against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
However, UNICEF does not assume responsibility for the security of data.
The UNICEF website contains links to external websites that are outside the “unicef.org” or “unicef.rs” domains. UNICEF is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these external sites.
Any amendments to this privacy policy will be posted on this page and made accessible via the UNICEF website home page.
