The Chalo Chatu Foundation is the non-profit organization that operates collaborative, free knowledge website Chalo Chatu Commons. This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information. We collect very little personal information about you. We do not rent or sell your information to third parties. | |||
By using Chalo Chatu website, you consent to this Policy. The Chalo Chatu movement is founded on a simple, but powerful principle: we can do more together than any of us can do alone. We cannot work collectively without gathering, sharing, and analysing information about our users as we seek new ways to make the Chalo Chatu Sites more useable, safer, and more beneficial. We believe that information-gathering and use should go hand-in-hand with transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how the Chalo Chatu Foundation, the non-profit organization that hosts the Chalo Chatu Site, uses, and shares information we receive from you through your use of the Chalo Chatu Site. It is essential to understand that, by using the Chalo Chatu Site, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. That means that reading this Policy carefully is important. We believe that you shouldn't have to provide personal information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You do not have to provide things like your real name, address, or date of birth to sign up for a standard account or contribute content to the Chalo Chatu Sites. We do not sell or rent your non-public information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We use it to figure out how to make the Chalo Chatu Sites more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. Put simply: we use this information to make the Chalo Chatu Sites better for you. After all, its people like you, the champions of free knowledge, who make it possible for the Chalo Chatu Sites to not only exist, but also grow and thrive. | |||
