The eHealth Professionals Knowledge Network (eHPKN) is an open community project organized under the auspices of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fȕr International Zusammenarbeit (GiZ). The outputs of the community will require much feedback and insight from the community. For that reason, we have a very permissive (non) privacy policy that mirrors our public mission to seek in-country perspectives to inform capacity strengthening efforts.
Please assume that everything you contribute to the eHPKN is public. This includes presentations at community events, communication activities such as emails on public lists, wikis, online discussions of all sorts, and documentation that you post to this website.
Because we follow an academic model that expects mutual personal respect, disclosure of interests and openness of expression, even your eHPKN profile (OHIE ID on the wiki) is public information. We will not share your personal information with other individuals or organizations without your permission, including public organizations, corporations or individuals, except when applicable by law. There will be cases where you are invited to share private information for various purposes, and denote that information as such. In those cases, we commit to only disclosing that information without your permission upon receipt of a valid subpoena and following notice from the eHPKN to you.
The eHPKN is committed to support and work with partners seeking alignment around global privacy guidelines that give individuals control of their personal data.
Although what you disclose here is public, we are all limited by copyright and patent law in how we may use your contributions. Therefore, eHPKN only accepts voluntary contributions of content and documentation that are expressly licensed to eHPKN under an approved creative commons license.
The eHPKN welcomes your questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy. Send them to community@ehpkn.org.
