MIGA Virtual Use Statement
I. Introduction
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of MIGA's sites and services, we want to ensure that you fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it, and applies to all MIGA sites - that is all sites within the "miga.org" domain name and for information gathered from third-party internet service providers, including but not limited to social media platforms.
II. What Information Does MIGA Collect?
Non-personally identifiable information
MIGA has contracted with a third-party vendor to track and analyze non-personally identifiable information about the usage of World Bank Group sites. All data collected by the vendor, Omniture, is owned and used by MIGA.
Information collected is non-personally identifiable, and only summaries of visitors' behavior is produced. Examples of this type of information include statistics on which pages are most popular and which are least popular. The information collected cannot be traced back to a particular individual.
The purpose of this data collection is so that MIGA can better understand the preferences of its visitors and improve its site and services.
We also collect information when you use our Services relating to your web site browser, network, device, and other similar information. This information is collected to ensure you have a consistent experience when using our Services, to ensure our content is displayed properly, and to improve the overall quality of our Services. If we serve ads, this information is also used to ensure advertisements are appropriately displayed to you.
Use of cookies
When you visit websites in the miga.org domain, you have the option accept or decline cookies. Your acceptance of the cookies will allow MIGA to remember you and your preferences the next time you visit. Additionally, Omniture, the vendor we use for the analysis of the non-personally identifiable usage, uses cookies to track behavior and sets cookies on behalf of MIGA.
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on MIGA’s website and may be required to re-enter information more frequently to use certain services on the website.
IP Addresses
In addition, MIGA also records your IP address, which is the Internet address of your computer, and information such as your browser type and operating system. This information helps us learn about the geographical distribution of our website visitors and the technology they use to access our site. This information is never connected with the personal information you supply to us if you register on our website.
Personal information
If you register for a MIGA event, an email newsletter or join a discussion group, you will be asked for personal information, such as your name, email address, and organization. The information provided is used for technical, administration and marketing purposes. The information may be used by the World Bank Group for targeting through social media and other channels but will not be sold to third parties.
Personal information collected by MIGA will be processed in accordance with the WBG Policy on Personal Data Privacy. For further information regarding MIGA’s handling of personal data, please visit MIGA’s Privacy Website.
III. What If I Do Not Want to Share My Information?
If you choose not provide personal information, you can still use MIGA's website. However, you will not be able to use certain features (e.g., email newsletters). MIGA views the user information that it collects as a trusted asset for which we take great care in not misusing. MIGA will not share, sell, distribute, or rent your information to anyone.
IV. Security
The World Bank Group employs a range of technologies to protect the information maintained on our systems from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
