Pandemic Action Network strives to collect, use, and disclose user data in a manner consistent with the privacy and data security laws of the countries in which it does business. Because of the differences among these jurisdictions, Pandemic Action Network has adopted a Privacy Policy that creates a common core of values, policies, and procedures intended to achieve nearly universal compliance, supplemented with alternative or additional policies or implementation procedures applicable in those jurisdictions with unique requirements. This Privacy Policy establishes a minimum global standard for collecting, using, and protecting information that Pandemic Action Network collects from users of the Site.

Under applicable law, Company is the “data controller” of personal data collected through the Services.

This information helps us keep our website fresh and interesting to our visitors and tailor content to a visitor’s interests.

Device Identifiers. Pandemic Action Network may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device”) you use to access the Site.

12. CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT

Pandemic Action Network — the organizational members, staff members, and members of the Advisory Committee — are driving collective action to ensure the world is prepared to respond to outbreaks and prevent the next pandemic.

Pandemic Action Network is a broad network of partners ranging from civil society to foundations to think tanks and the private sector. It is our goal to use our network advocacy model to build bridges between many of these organizations in pursuit of our goals and to build bridges internationally and regionally to ensure every country is prepared to stop infectious disease outbreaks from becoming deadly and costly pandemics.

We work with and receive funding from partners aligned with the Network’s goals.

Our policy, advocacy, and campaign work is developed independently at Pandemic Action Network, though we aim to be as collaborative as possible in our work and get the input and advice of Pandemic Action Network partners, individual experts, and our Advisory Committee. The Pandemic Action team takes full responsibility for the policies they advocate for and the processes they facilitate.

All activities undertaken are in the pursuit of the above stated goals and are not driven by a single organization, individual, company, funder, or product.
