GovU Partner Websites and Links to Independent Websites
Through this website you are able to link to other websites which are not under the control of Gov2u. We have no control over the nature, content and availability of those sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them.
As part of its democracy support efforts, Gov2u often assists its partners around the world with developing websites. Examples may include a national parliament website that provides legislative information to the public, or an NGO or advocacy group site that shares details about its work in the community. This Gov2u privacy policy does not apply to such websites that are developed and maintained by Gov2u partners with Institute financial or technical assistance. Gov2u would typically encourage these partners to develop and implement their own privacy policies for information collected on their websites. It is Gov2u policy never to take possession of or use personal information provided to partners through these kinds of websites.
Similarly, Gov2u websites may contain pages with links to independent, external websites for which the Institute is not responsible.
