Privacy Policy
United Nations Postal Administration values your privacy, and has developed a website that customers trust. Thank you for reviewing our privacy policy to you.
Our privacy policy tells you about our information practices when you provide personal information to us, whether collected online or offline, and when you visit us online to browse, obtain information, or conduct a transaction. United Nations Postal Administration collects personal information from you in order to provide you certain products and services, and if needed to respond to your inquiries or requests for information. Personal information may include your name, email, mailing and/or business address, phone numbers, or other information that identifies you personally.
The policy includes detailed explanations of how we provide:
• Notice of our privacy practices
• Your choices and preferences
• Security features and service provider controls
• How you can access your personal information
• Where to submit inquiries
Key aspects of our privacy policy include:
• We do not sell or rent your personal information to outside parties.
• We do not market other products or services to you without your consent.
• We require that our service providers adhere to our privacy requirements.
• We do not require you to register or provide personal information in order to visit our website.
• We only use web analysis tools (e.g., cookies) for the limited purposes authorized in this policy.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
We automatically collect certain information about your visit to our site address. We limit this data collected to meet specific business needs and in the interests of your privacy. We thus may know what path(s) you took on United Nations Postal Administration, but we don't know who you are. We do not use this information to identify you personally without your express consent.
We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
• General log information-Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" or "yourschool.edu"); Internet Protocol (IP) address; operating system; the browser used to access our Web site; the date and time you access our site; and the pages that you visited.
• Referral and statistical information where we have links or ad banners to or from United Nations Postal Administration. Such data may include aggregate data such as the number of click-throughs that occurred. It may also include specific data, such as whether you are a repeat visitor; whether you visited a page with a banner on it or clicked on an ad banner, and then used our site (for instance, to register or make a purchase); the value, date and time of any sale; and the identity of the site which you linked to or from United Nations Postal Administration. We do not use such data to identify you personally.
We use the general site information to help us make United Nations Postal Administration more useful to visitors. We use it to learn about how locations on our site are being used, what information is of most and least interest, and how we can enhance ease of use by ensuring United Nations Postal Administration can interface with the types of technology our visitors use. We also use such statistics to tell us of any possible site performance problems.
We collect referral statistics from links to let us know which links are useful, both to and from United Nations Postal Administration. Likewise, we collect data from ad banners to let us know which ads are effective. This allows us to determine which ads may be of most interest and to help us control how many times a specific ad is displayed.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, however, the United Nations assumes no responsibility for the security of this information.
This explains what information is collected automatically. For information about how this data is collected, click below on our policy on cookies and other Web analysis tools.

Information Collected from Emails and Online Forms
Many of our programs and websites allow you to send us an email. We will use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, provide information, or to fill your order for postal products and services in which you have expressed an interest.
Remember that email may not necessarily be secure against interception. If your email communication is very sensitive, or includes information such as your bank account, charge card, or social security number, you should send it by mail unless the Web site indicates the particular site is secured.
Choice
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personal information to outside marketers. You will only receive marketing about products and services of United Nations Postal Administration or its partners, other than products and services you already receive or are registered for, under the following conditions. If you are a consumer, we use an opt-in standard. If you have provided personal information to register for or purchase a product or service, we will not use that information to contact you in the future about another product or service, unless you have provided express consent. If you are a business, we use an opt-out standard. We assume you are interested in other products and services that could aid you in your business, and so we will provide information to you unless you tell us you do not want to receive it.
Consumers may opt-in, and businesses may opt-out, when they register on United Nations Postal Administration and create a customer profile. These preferences in the profile can be changed at any time. Please contact the United Nations at the addresses below with any questions about your preferences.
Security
In those instances where we secure your personal information in transit to us and upon receipt, United Nations Postal Administration uses the industry standard encryption software, Secured Socket Layer (SSL). The URL in your browser will change to "HTTPS" instead of "HTTP" when this security feature is invoked. Your browser may also display a lock symbol on its bottom task bar line to indicate this secure transmission is in place.
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic in order to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits other than those uses identified in this policy.
Service Providers
United Nations Postal Administration enters into relationships with service providers in order to provide the highest quality product or service. Service providers may include an entity that provides assistance for the program, such as a call center; a provider of advertising services; or a partner for the program. The United Nations Postal Administration requires service providers to acknowledge that they conform to applicable privacy laws, and to applicable privacy policies and standards.
