1. Information you provide
When you create an account, we collect your name and email address and store a protected representation of your password. When you contact us, we collect the name, email, topic and message you submit. We also receive information you choose to include in other forms or contributions.
2. Information collected automatically
We may record limited technical information needed to operate and understand the website, such as the page visited, date, general device category and referral source. Essential cookies may be used for account sessions, security and anonymous visit measurement.
3. How we use information
We use information to provide and secure member accounts, respond to messages, operate the website, understand which pages are useful, prevent abuse and improve SOMDAS programs and communications.
4. When information is shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that host or support the website, when necessary to protect users or the service, or when required by law. We limit sharing to what is reasonably necessary for that purpose.
5. Storage and retention
Website records may be stored using cloud database and file-storage services used by SOMDAS. We retain information for as long as it is needed for the purpose collected, account administration, security, legal obligations or legitimate organizational records, then delete or anonymize it when appropriate.
6. Security
We use access controls, encrypted connections, protected password storage and other safeguards designed to reduce risk. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong, unique password and contact us if you notice suspicious activity.
7. Your choices
You may update your profile and password through your account. You may also ask about, correct or request deletion of personal information by contacting SOMDAS. Some records may need to be retained where required for security, legal or operational reasons.
8. Children, updates and contact
The website is not designed to collect account information from children without appropriate permission. We may update this policy as our services change. Privacy questions or requests can be sent through the Contact page or to the official email shown in the footer.
