ICF GHK is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Web Site Privacy applies to the ICF GHK Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the ICF GHK Web site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. Because the Internet is an evolving medium, we reserve the right to amend this policy at any time by posting the amended version on our Web site and updating the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

ICF GHK is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that would allow someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your full name, address, telephone number or email address.

The ICF GHK Web site does not capture or store Personal Information other than what is voluntarily submitted by users through the Web site. Persons who supply their email addresses or any other personal contact information voluntarily online may receive direct mail, email, or telephone contact from us for assistance. Where you have agreed to this, (i) ICF GHK also uses your Personal Information to inform you of other products or services available from ICF GHK, and (ii) ICF GHK may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Please keep in mind that if you voluntarily make your Personal Information or personally sensitive data available for viewing by third parties online, such as on a blog or public message board, this information may be viewed, collected and used by individuals and companies outside of ICF GHK. ICF GHK is not responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information that is provided in a public forum.

ICF GHK is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or security of any third-party linked site that is not operated by or on behalf of ICF GHK. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from ICF GHK so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use, and share your Personal Information. ICF GHK is not responsible for the privacy statements, use of Personal Information, cookies collected by, or content on Web sites outside of the ICF GHK and ICF International, Inc. family of Web sites.

Job Applicant Data

When you apply to work at ICF GHK, we use your Personal Information to process the application and to monitor recruiting statistics. When we disclose information to a third party, for example to check a reference or obtain a background check, we will not do so without informing you beforehand and receiving written consent. Personal Information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 6 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed. It will then be destroyed or deleted. We retain non-personally identifiable statistical information about applicants.

Information Collected Automatically Through "Cookies"

Information is collected indirectly through the use of “cookies,” a technology common to most websites. Cookies are small files that your Web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes and to speed up performance of the Web site and tailor its contents. When you enter a URL or perform a search, or as you navigate through the Web site, your browser requests data from our server. At that time, the server automatically logs certain non-personally identifiable information about your computer hardware and software that can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses.

This information is used by ICF GHK for the operation of the Web site, to maintain quality and usefulness of the site, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the site. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

ICF GHK uses this non-identifiable information at both an aggregate and individual level to tailor content to your interests and needs and to deliver the services you have requested. ICF GHK keeps track of the Web pages you visit in order to determine what ICF GHK services are the most popular. These data may be used to deliver customized content within ICF GHK to visitors whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can learn more about cookies at allaboutcookies.org.

ICF GHK takes reasonable precautions to secure your Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, use or disclosure. ICF GHK ensures that the Personal Information you provide is stored on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment and protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. In some instances, ICF GHK contracts with third-party vendors for website hosting and storage of data, including Personal Information. These third-party vendors are required to implement security measures and are subject to contractual prohibitions on selling or sharing any Personal Information. When Personal Information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Except in limited circumstances, ICF GHK will not sell, rent or trade Personal Information you submit, to any third party. For example, we do not sell your email address or your name and personal demographic information to mass marketers or advertisers. ICF GHK regards its databases, which may include your Personal Information, as a valuable asset. Should ICF GHK sell or transfer any of its business assets, this may include the sale or transfer of such databases of information to third parties. In addition, such a transfer or sale may mean that your Personal Information is transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Areas outside of the EEA may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those that exist in the EEA. In using this Web site, you consent to such use of your Personal Information.

Personal Information is used only by ICF GHK, ICF International, Inc. (the ultimate parent company of ICF GHK), and their affiliated companies, including subsidiaries, business partners, agents, subcontractors, or other third-party vendors. All such third parties are prohibited from using your Personal Information except to provide specific services to ICF GHK, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. In addition, our subcontractors are subject to contractual prohibitions on selling or sharing any Personal Information. Although we take every precaution to maintain the security of our Web site and servers, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.

ICF GHK Web sites will disclose your Personal Information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ICF GHK or the site; (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of ICF GHK or (iii) act under exigent circumstances to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the site, the public or ICF GHK.
