Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect information on this website — in keeping with our commitment to data protection.
Last updated · July 2026
Our approach
The Health Intelligence Centre for Africa (HICA) is built on the principle that data belongs to the people and countries it comes from. We hold ourselves to the same standard on this website: we collect as little personal information as possible, use it only for the purposes described here, and never sell it.
Information we collect
Information you give us: if you contact us through a form on this site, we receive the details you choose to provide — such as your name, email address, and message.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, we may receive basic technical and usage information (for example, pages visited and general browser type). This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it secure.
Cookies: we use a small number of cookies, described in our Cookie Policy.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to respond to enquiries, to operate and improve the website, and to keep it secure. We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, under appropriate safeguards, and where we are required to do so by law.
Data security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is ever completely secure, but we work to protect your information at all times.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and you may object to certain uses of it. To exercise these rights, contact us through the Contact section of this website.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
