INTRODUCTION
The following is the Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) of Eurasia Development Limited and its affiliated companies (collectively, “ED”).
ED understands the importance of protecting the confidentiality of your information. ED is committed to protecting the privacy of users and the personal data they provide when visiting ED websites (the “Site”) and using materials available through them, including materials available to Site subscribers, as well as materials on other websites and applications that contain a link to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy also applies to information that you provide to ED in response to a request for information submitted by email or by other means, as well as information obtained in connection with the consideration of your application for employment with ED.

ED reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected here so that you can remain informed about the information we collect and how we use it.

The Site may contain links to external websites that are not governed by this Privacy Policy. ED is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites to which we provide links. We recommend that users review the applicable privacy policies of such websites before providing them with personal information.

We collect personal data including first and last names, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers, unique personal identifiers, financial information, information about primary areas of interest and/or demographic information.

We may also use aggregated demographic data and information regarding users’ system and browser types.

ED may also conduct online user surveys or use technologies to obtain information concerning, among other things, users’ identities, online browsing preferences, search effectiveness, the relevance of Site content to users and similar matters.

How do we use personal data?The purposes and manner in which we use personal data depend on how you use the Site and on the type of information you provide.

We process your personal data:

  • informing you about updates to our services and notifying you of other ED products and services that may be of interest to you, including new publications and upcoming events;
  • tailoring website content to provide materials that are relevant to you;
  • analyzing the composition of the Site’s audience, identifying areas of interest to users, and assessing the compatibility and correct display of the Site based on the computer settings used by the majority of our users;

(ii) on the basis of your consent.
To the extent that you consent to our processing of your personal data for specific purposes, for example in connection with an application for employment with ED, the lawful basis for such processing is your consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time.

(iii) in order to comply with legal obligations, including measures relating to fraud prevention and anti-money laundering, compliance with tax obligations and social security requirements.

We will not sell, transfer, rent or otherwise provide access to your personal data to other persons, except where such information is disclosed to third parties that provide services on our behalf and require access to the information in connection with those services.

Any such third parties will process the information only to the extent authorized by ED.

In addition, ED may provide your contact information in response to requests from lawful rights holders concerning alleged infringement of copyright or other proprietary rights arising from information posted by users on the Site or otherwise provided to ED.

ED is an international organization, and in order to operate effectively we may need to transfer personal data collected through the Site or by other means within the ED group of companies.

This may also involve third-party organizations located in different countries around the world.

Such transfers may involve your personal data being stored in different countries, for example in the United States, where privacy legislation may differ.

By using this Site, submitting information through it, or otherwise providing personal data to ED, you voluntarily consent to such international transfers and to the storage of such information in other countries and by other organizations.
