This privacy statement describes AKMFTA’s policy concerning the gathering and sharing of visitor's information through the AKMFTA web site.

In general, you can browse the AKMFTA Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs. These include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the web site that referred you to us, the files you download, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits.

Medical Information Policy

AKMFTA does not intend to provide specific medical advice on our Web site, but rather to help visitors better understand mental health and disorders. AKMFTA will not provide specific medical advice and urges you to consult with a qualified mental health or health care provider for diagnosis and for answers to your personal questions.

Personally Identifiable Information

If you register for a newsletter, log on to the AKMFTA Web site, order a book, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or join an electronic mailing list, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.

This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission, and is kept in various AKMFTA databases and mailing lists.

Credit card information is not retained by the AKMFTA Web site.

Registering or supplying personal information may set a cookie. By setting this cookie, AKMFTA will remember your details the next time you visit, so you don’t have to re-enter the information. This helps us to provide you with a better service.

AKMFTA may use the personal information you provide to:

  • Contact you – either in response to a query or suggestion, or to mail newsletters, documents, publications etc. to you;
  •  Manage and process your request;
  • Confirm your purchases and registrations on the site;

  • Help you quickly find information that is relevant to you based on your interests, and help us create site content most relevant to you;
  • Statistical analysis.

What if I don’t want to provide personal information?

Providing personal information on the AKMFTA site is optional. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse and use the WHO site, but you will not be able to carry out certain actions such as purchase items, register for a newsletter or apply for a job.

We do not sell or share any personally identifiable information volunteered on the AKMFTA site to any third party. Any information provided to AKMFTA by users of the AKMFTA Web site is held with the utmost care and security, and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this privacy policy, or in any site-specific policies, or in ways to which you have explicitly consented.
