Privacy Policy

Date: 7/18/2007

The Government of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis is committed to providing visitors with Web sites that respect their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on Government Web sites.

Government Web sites do not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of the site.

At any point that Government collects any information about its visitors, you will be asked for consent to collect your information or advised of the authority for such collection. You will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.

Government employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our Web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.

The Government does not normally use "cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. If cookies are in use and you have your cookies notification option activated on your browser the system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them. (A "cookie" is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a Web site to allow it to monitor your use of the site.)

Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Government of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis personnel who need the information to carry out responsibilities of their job. Any further disclosure of the personal information you give us will be in accordance with any appropriate privacy laws.
