Welcome to the website of the Centers for Disease Control, the Executive Yuan! To set your mind at ease as you use the services and information of this site, we would like first to explain our policy on the protection of your privacy rights. To ensure your rights, please carefully read the following:
1.Scope of the Policy

The Policy governs how this site processes the individual personal data collected while you are visiting the site. The Policy does not apply to related web links and extends only to personnel entrusted by this site and to those involved in its management.

2.Data Collection and Use

In order to offer you the best possible interactive service, you may be asked to provide and/or allow some personal information to be collected as follows:

When you use the interactive function of the customer service e-mail box or the questionnaire survey form, information you provide, like your name, e-mail address, contact information and length of use, may be retained. When you are browsing, the server may automatically make a record of your activity, including the IP address of the equipment you use to access the Internet, the length of time you spend at the site, what browser you use and the data you have browsed and accessed. We use this information as reference material to further develop our website services, and the information is for internal use only. Under no circumstances is it made available to the outside. In order to provide the best service, we may compile and analyze the content of questionnaire surveys. In addition to use in internal studies, the statistics derived from these analyses and the analytical commentary may be made public in cases where we deem this necessary, but such information will not involve data on specific individuals. Unless we receive your agreement or are directed by special legal regulations, this site will under no circumstances make your personal data available to a third party or use these data for a purpose other than that for which they were collected.

If for business reasons, it becomes necessary to entrust the provision of this service to a related office of this Department, this site will strictly require that it honor the obligations of the secrecy agreement and will adopt the necessary review procedures to assure that this obligation is indeed carried out.
