The African Leadership Institute (AFLI) maintains this website, alinstitute.org. AFLI, concerned about the rights of individuals regarding automated processing and in a desire for transparency with its visitors, has put in place a policy for covering all these processing operations. This policy can be read below.
Continued browsing of this site constitutes acceptance without reservation of the following terms and conditions of use. You agree to the use of cookies and other tracers.
The current online version of this privacy policy is the only version that is enforceable during the entire period of use of the site and until a new version replaces it. However, it is not an exhaustive statement of data protection law nor of our or your responsibilities in relation to data protection.
What domains does this policy cover?
This policy covers domains which are owned and managed by AFLI as of this writing, which is alinstitute.org, tutufellows.africa and other domains used by the organisation.
What information do we collect on our domains and how do we use them?
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (identifiable person). An identifiable person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a name, identification number or to one or more elements specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity. The personal information that may be collected on our domain is used mainly for the management of relations with you.
The personal information collected, processed and/or stored, with your consent, are the following:
Contact form
Your name, email address, IP and any other information you provide allow us to answer your request. This data is sent by email to AFLI and are stored in the servers of our mail hosting provider, our web hosting provider, and in backups.
Email subscription form
Your name, email address, country, and IP are collected and stored on the servers of our open source newsletter software on this website in order to be able to send you by email, news and information you subscribed to. AFLI does not sell information obtained from subscriptions to third parties. Our software is CAN-SPAM compliant and you can unsubscribe with one click from future emails.
Candidates who have participated in AFLI's Tutu Leadership Fellowship are subscribed by AFLI to a limited and closed email list for information specifically for Tutu Associates and Fellows. People who register for user accounts to submit a directory entry at youthforyouth.africa, will from time to time, be added to our newsletter mailing list, since our newsletters do include information about grant-based programmes under which that directory falls. The YouthForYouth.Africa site will also from time to time send user accounts at that site emails about their entries and/or accounts.
Privacy for Tutu Fellows and Associates on the AFLI site
In order to fulfill its vision of developing servant leaders to effect positive change in Africa, AFLI has a section of the site accessible only after logging into the AFLI site that has been set up for networking, discourse and reading. In order to offer this service to Tutu Fellows and Associates, AFLI has created user accounts for you. To ensure logins and navigation functions work, the AFLI site sets session cookies. For security reasons, AFLI monitors logins to the site and any activity associated with the user profiles provided to Staff and Fellows, such as comments posted, changes to the site, etc.
AFLI staff and website administrators may use your email address to contact you if necessary. AFLI does not share this data in bulk with anyone, both for reason of privacy compliance with GDPR and POPI standards, and also because we hold this information in trust.
The public profiles of Fellows are provided as a means for third parties to cross-check whether someone claiming to be a Tutu Fellow is in fact someone who has been accepted for and completed the prestigious Tutu Leadership Fellowship. Fellows and Associates who wish to have their public profiles removed may ask AFLI to do so. However, if they do, they must agree in writing that they may not claim to be a Tutu Fellow in any future dealings with any third parties, in resumes, or other correspondence.
Directories
AFLI has several directories on the website. One is a listing of all Leadership initiatives serving the continent and the other, in development, is the public profiles directory of all Tutu Fellows. This directory will replace the public profiles currently in use. Information for the Leadership directory is all public information obtained by grant-funded research, and all organisations listed have been asked to validate the information on their pages. Should there be any information in either directory that the organisation would like removed, they should contact us about the entry and the problematic information for a remedy. AFLI also provides a method of flagging any entry on every directory entry page with an email field to provide feedback on what information is inaccurate or false.
Commenting
In certain parts of the AFLI site, commenting features are enabled. Visitors' name, email address, and IP address will be recorded when you make a comment. This information will not be published or shared with any third parties.
Social and other Media
Certain parts of the AFLI site have social media buttons as a convenience to visitors who wish to share content from the site using their social media. These social media set cookies. Where visitors click through to their social media sites, those social media will be able to track personal data. AFLI does not harvest or retain personal data from those click throughs on the AFLI site. Visitors should review the privacy pages and terms of service of their social media accounts for more information about what information their social media accounts retain.
The AFLI site has embedded video in places. To ensure playback across a range of hardware devices and in a variety of browsers, the site sets cookies. In some instances, embedded video is from video sites such as YouTube. YouTube is a Google property. Please review Google's privacy agreement below.
