Privacy Notice

This section of the page explains how the USAID Private Sector Development Project (SABEQ) Program will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our web site. The information we receive depends upon what you do when visiting our site.

• If you visit our site to read or download information: We collect and store only 1) the information you enter on the user page (including your name, title, company name, and city of residence; and 2) the resources you contribute to the community.
  We also use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, find out what information is the most viewed, and to help us make our web site more useful to visitors. This gathering and storing of information is separate from the activity described as monitoring in our Security Notice. The information gathered is used for two purposes: site management and, in the case of suspected unauthorized activity, for law enforcement and possible criminal prosecution (see Security Notice).
• If you identify yourself by sending us an email using our contact page: You also may decide to send us personally-identifying information, for example, in an electronic mail message. We use personally-identifying information to respond to your comment or suggestion. In certain instances, your comment or suggestion may be forwarded to others if they are in the best position to respond to your message.

We want to be very clear: We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us.

Cookies and Other Information Stored On Your Computer

In general, this site does NOT use the "cookies" that some web sites use to gather and store information about your visits to their sites.

Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords, which some web servers collect from you when you access them. That data is stored on your hard drive-not on the web site's server. Whenever you visit a "cookie" site, the server looks for its cookie on your hard drive and, if found, then reads the information it stored there. Cookies generally are stored in your browser's directory or folder in a file named cookie.txt (MagicCookie on a Macintosh).

Further, some of the links on the SABEQ web site point to non-USAID sites which may place cookies on your computer. If you want to avoid such cookies, we encourage you to set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and allow you to reject them. Your system's help files will explain how to do this.

Links to this Web Site or Its Contents

you may freely link to this web site or any of its content. We ask only that you identify that the link is to an Internet resource. However, as a sign-in name and password are required to download resources, and only qualified PC members have sign-in privileges, non PC members will not be able to access all of the content herein. This is necessary to protect our fiduciary responsibility to select resource providers contributing content to this site, who have granted permission to post their contributions in a password-protected site only.

Our web site has links to other U.S. Government agencies, Jordanian Government agencies, other government and inter-governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private organizations who we believe are relevant to our program's mission. These links are provided for PC members. A user is subject to that site’s privacy policy upon leaving the SABEQ site.
