Your privacy is of paramount importance to Health Nest. This privacy statement describes the way in which Health Nest treats information collected and received from visitors on its website. It applies to all websites managed under the “who.int” domain.

What Information Does Health Nest Collect?

General Website Usage
You can surf the Health Nest website without providing personal information. We collect only general information during your visit using standard server logs, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, operating system, the referring website, pages visited, downloaded files, and the time and date of your visit.

Collection of Personal Information
If you choose to register for a newsletter, log in to specific Health Nest sites, order a book, request information, give feedback, apply for a job, participate in discussion groups, or join an email list, we may ask for personal details like your name, postal address, and email address. This information is collected only with your consent and stored in Healt Nest databases. You might have to enter your credit card details in order to buy from the website. Credit card information is not collected or stored by Health Nest because the purchase is securely processed through an external payment service.

Different Health Nest sites may have separate privacy policies suited to local needs in addition to this general policy.

Some Health Nest websites may use cookies, which enable us to recall your information for subsequent visits so that it’s easier for you.

Discussion Groups

Participating in a discussion group could expose your personal information to the other members of the group, including non-Health Nest personnel, especially in a public forum.
