Internet Privacy Policy


The Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) website is administered with the help of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). AFSC and QUNO value your support and are committed to protecting your online privacy. You can visit our web site without revealing any personal information.

Collection of general information

Our web servers do automatically collect some non-identifying basic information from your visit to help measure web site activity and improve our site. This information includes your IP address, browser type, computer type, the pages requested, and referring web site.

Like many other websites, the QUNO web site also deposits certain bits of information called “cookies” in a visitor’s computer. Cookies help us distinguish repeat visitors from first-time visitors and give us helpful information about how our pages are viewed. This technology does not collect personal, identifiable information.

Volunteering personal data

You may voluntarily submit your email address or other personally identifying data to take part in an activity on the site, such as to sign up for a mailing list. In this case, we will use your data to send you the requested information. We may also send you occasional messages about other QUNO programs and information sources. You can unsubscribe from an QUNO mailing list at any time by responding to the instructions provided at the bottom of each message. We do not share our email lists with other organisations.

Email This Page/Tell-A-Friend

From many of our web pages, you can email a message to your friends recommending that they visit a page. When you use our “email this page” feature, we ask for your name, email address, and up to five friends’ email addresses at a time. We do not collect this personal information; it is used only to let your friends know who sent the email message. We do check our web logs to see which pages are forwarded most often, but we do not capture any personally identifying information about you or your friends from this feature.

Donation information

If you choose to make a donation to QUNO Geneva, you will be asked to submit financial and contact information to allow us to collect the donation and provide you with a receipt. QUNO makes every effort to insure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive visitor information using industry-accepted data collection and encryption methodologies.

To keep our donors informed about the work of QUNO, we send out periodical mailings with program details and other information. Once a year we offer an opportunity to be removed from our mailing list.

Updates to our policy

We may occasionally update this policy. If so, we will post revisions here.
