When you visit and use our website, contact us by email or donate online, we handle some of your personal data: mainly your email address (if you subscribe to our newsletter), your payment details if you chose to make an online donation, and data on your browsing habits, so that we can get to know you better.

We never collect information for commercial marketing purposes.

A link at the bottom of each newsletter allows you to unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time. Any data pertaining to you that we hold will then be irreversibly deleted at the end of the month during which you unsubscribed, with the exception of your email address, which may be recorded for security reasons and to ensure we respect your request to unsubscribe.

ICDI can also receive personal data linked to your profile when you use the functionality of a social media that is embedded in our website, or when you interact with us via social media. You should always be aware of the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policy, of such social media. Those remain the exclusive responsibility of that social media.

Your computer will only share the information in the cookie with the website that provided it, and no other website can request it. There are two types of cookies, session and persistent. Session cookies last only as long as your Web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for longer periods of time.

ICDI may use session cookies for technical purposes such as to enable better navigation through the site or to allow you to customize your preferences for interacting with the site or to compile anonymous statistics on visits to our site.
