Introduction
Welcome to ETEDA.org (“we,” “us,” “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information obtained through our website, services, and related interactions. By accessing or using ETEDA.org, you accept the practices described in this policy.

- We may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, log files, and similar technologies to collect usage data and analytics.

Sharing and Disclosure
We may share or disclose your information under the following circumstances:
Service providers & contractors: to third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g. hosting, email delivery, analytics). We require them to protect your data and limit its use.
Legal requirements: if required by law or legal process (e.g. subpoena, Court order) or to protect our rights, property, safety, or users’ safety.
Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be among transferred assets.

Aggregate or anonymized data: we may share or publish aggregated, non-identifiable information (that does not identify you).

Cookies, Tracking & Similar Technologies
We (and third-party analytics services) use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information, remember your preferences, and improve the site experience.
You can control or block cookies using your browser settings (though this may limit your ability to use certain features).
We may also use web beacons, pixel tags, or analytics scripts to measure and analyze usage patterns.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected (as described above), or as required by law. We may also retain information in anonymized or aggregated form indefinitely.
International Data Transfers
If you are accessing our website from outside the United States, please note that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions. By using the site, you consent to this transfer. Where required by law, we will take safeguards to protect your information (e.g. standard contractual clauses).

Accessing the personal information we hold about you
Correcting or updating inaccurate or incomplete information
Deleting your personal information
