We are committed to providing our visitors with a website
that respects their privacy. The following summarizes the
ACTION for Health website privacy policy and practices.
- We do not automatically gather any personal information
from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or address.
This information is only obtained if you supply it voluntarily,
usually through contacting us via email.

- Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except
project staff who requires the information, e.g., to respond
