• MDLF is committed to promoting and protecting the right to privacy of individuals accessing this website. In general, users can access this website anonymously as MDLF does not require that you provide a name or address to access any area of the site.
• Our website is hosted on a remote server. Those servers automatically log information about visits to our websites in the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections. Server logs record statistical information such as visitors' IP addresses, type of operating systems, time of visit, web pages requested, etc., and identify categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types.
  
  MDLF can access these statistics in summary form. The statistics are reviewed and used to improve our website and to ensure they provide the optimal web experience for visitors.
  
  Accessing this statistical data does not enable MDLF to identify users of the website.

  • Processing donations;

For example, if you make a secure online donation to our work, although you do not leave our site, your donation will be processed by Paypal and it is clear on the donation page that Paypal is our processing partner.

In such circumstances, MDLF advises you only to transmit so much information as is necessary to provide the stated service.
