Privacy Policy

Peace Dividend Trust (hereinafter "PDT") is committed to respecting the privacy of our users. We strive to provide a safe, secure user experience. For this reason, we have modeled our Official Privacy Policy on the framework of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada.

This Privacy Policy sets forth the online data collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the B2B Platform [hereinafter "program"]. By submitting information to the program, you consent to the policies and practices described in this Policy.

Our sites contain links to other Web sites over which we have no control. PDT is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other Web sites to which you choose to link from the PDT Web site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those other Web sites so you can understand how they collect, use and share your information.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to the information we collect on the PDT Web site, and does not apply to information we collect in any other fashion.

Purpose

The B2B Platform is an online marketplace for buyers and suppliers operating in Afghanistan. Users are able to exchange information about tenders and business opportunities and register for training sessions and trade shows. The site also provides market and investment information to interested individuals.

PDT collects information solely for registration purposes to the extent necessary to carry out the program's function.

Consent

Submitting your information to the program and PDT is strictly voluntary. An organization or individual is free to refuse or withdraw his or her consent to the collection, use or disclosure of his or her Information at any time upon providing reasonable notice to PDT.

PDT collects information from its users when they register to gain access to our services or at other specific instances. Once a user registers, he/she is no longer anonymous to PDT and it is deemed that the user has given PDT the right to publish the desired company and contact details for use in the program.

By submitting information about your business, you have knowledge of and consent to the collection, use or disclosure of that information within the scope of the described purpose, above.

Collection

PDT collects user information only for the purposes identified in this Policy. PDT shall only collect information by fair and lawful means.

Use, Disclosure and Retention


Information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or business. Information shall be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.

PDT will erase or make anonymous personal information that is no longer needed for its identified purposes, legal requirements, or by request of the user.

Disclosure to third parties shall be limited to those organizations that co-operate with PDT on the development and promotion of the program. The transfer of that information shall be in full accordance with this Policy.

We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who utilized the program. Such information does not identify you individually.

Accuracy

The user shall be fully responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted to the program. For more information, please review our Terms and Conditions (hyperlink).

However, PDT endeavors to ensure that any information provided by users and in our possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which that data is used.
