The Siyanda website is provided as a public service by BRIDGE,
the gender and development unit at the Institute of Development
Studies (IDS) subject to the following terms and conditions. Your
use of the site is subject to these terms – if you do not
agree to them, please leave the site.
Disclaimer of liability
In the preparation of this website, every effort has been made to
offer the most current, correct, and clearly expressed information
possible. Nevertheless, inadvertent errors may occur. In particular,
but without limiting anything here, IDS disclaims any responsibility
for typographical errors and accuracy of the information that may
be contained on Siyanda web pages. IDS also reserves the right to
make changes at any time without notice.
The information and data included on Siyanda web pages has been
compiled from a variety of sources. Unless expressly stated otherwise,
opinions given on this website are those of the individuals making
them, and not those of IDS or its funders: the Institute is not
responsible for such opinions or any claims resulting from them.
Further, IDS makes no warranties or representations whatsoever regarding
the quality, content, completeness, or adequacy of such information
and data. In any situation where printed publications differ from
the text contained in this system, the printed documents take precedence.
Some parts of the Siyanda website are interactive, and we encourage
contributions by users, which may or may not be subject to editorial
control prior to being posted on the website. IDS accepts no responsibility
or liability for any material communicated by third parties in this
way. IDS reserves the right at its sole discretion to remove, review,
edit or delete any content at our own discretion.
Unacceptable use
You must not use any part of the website for any purpose which is
illegal, immoral, offensive to others or in breach of others’
rights, or submit any content of that nature. This includes, but
is not limited to any content or purpose which is discriminatory
or harassing on the grounds of race, gender, religion, age or any
other personal attribute, foul language, inciting hatred, sexually
explicit, abusive, defamatory, in breach of copyright or other rights
and such other activity as IDS may from time to time determine is
unacceptable. IDS may remove or block access to any content or communication
for any purpose. If you feel that your rights are infringed by anything
on this site, please contact the IDS Communications Team (details
below) giving a full description of the offending items and reasons.
IDS will investigate and, if it agrees, remove or block such content.
Disclaimer of reliability
While every effort is made to ensure that this website operates
reliably, IDS make no representations or warranties regarding the
condition or functionality of this website, its suitability for
use, or that the service it provides will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Disclaimer of damages
By using this website, you assume all risks associated with its
use, including any risk to your computer, software or data being
damaged by any virus, software, or any other file which might be
transmitted or activated via this website. IDS shall not be liable
for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages, including, without limitation, lost revenues or lost profits,
resulting from the use or misuse of this website or the information
contained in this website.
Disclaimer of endorsement
Reference herein to any specific commercial products, process, or
service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise does
not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation,
or favouring by IDS. The views and opinions of authors expressed
herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of IDS, and shall
not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes.
Links to other websites
Links from the Siyanda website may take you to other websites that
are not controlled by IDS. While such links are provided in good
faith, IDS does not approve or endorse the websites to which it
has established links in any way. Links are provided for your convenience
only and IDS is not responsible for the content or privacy practices
of any other website linked to or from the Siyanda website. Use
of any such links will not render IDS liable to you or any other
person for loss or liability of any kind.
We have tried to ensure that links to off-site materials are clearly
indicated. If we have linked to your material and not clearly indicated
that the content is non-IDS, please let us know so that we can resolve
the matter by making the link clearer, or removing the link.

Storage and use of personal information
IDS is committed to protecting your privacy. If you have any questions
about our privacy policy, please e-mail communications@ids.ac.uk
When you visit the Siyanda website, we log non-personally-identifiable
information including IP address, profile information, aggregate
user data, and browser type. We use this data to monitor usage and
improve our website services.
In cases where you have provided Siyanda with personal data, this
may be used internally by IDS to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness
of the services we provide. We may also use this information to
contact you in the future unless or until such a time that you say
you do not wish us to do so.
When you request to receive information, publications or eNewletters,
you will need to provide a limited amount of information that identifies
you personally. This may include one or more of the following: your
name, address, telephone number, email or other information appropriate
to your request. We will not share your personal information with
third parties. The Siyanda website publishes an Experts database
containing information about individuals and organisations. If you
wish to register your personal details for use on these publicly
available databases, please refer to the section below entitled
'Publishing your personal information on Siyanda'.
The database holding your personal details is held in the UK and
the 1998 UK Data Protection Act applies. You have the right to inspect
and update your personal details. You can do this yourself by following
the instructions given on this website. If you require help with
this, please contact the BRIDGE Team (bridge@ids.ac.uk) who will
process your request within a reasonable time.
Email subscription services
You should not enter information on behalf of another person or
about any other person. Your name and email address will be used
only for delivering to you the services to which you have subscribed,
for sending information about these services, for sending you password
reminders and for validating security. They will not be provided
to any third parties without your express consent.
If you are sharing your email address with other people, IDS cannot
protect any information you provide against access by the other
users of your email address, nor can IDS prevent other users of
your email address changing your subscription details.
Publishing your
personal information on Siyanda
If you choose to publish your personal information on Siyanda you
are required to provide accurate information about yourself and
accept sole and full responsibility for this and for keeping the
information up to date. You should not enter information on behalf
of another person or about any other person.
By providing your information to us, you are giving your permission
for your personal information to be made freely and publicly available
via the internet to any internet user accessing the website. A user
will be able to view your information in a web browser but will
not be able to change your information held and displayed by the
website. Your information could be passed in this way to third parties
in any country worldwide. If you do not wish to allow this type
of access to your information, do not enter your information.
The inclusion of any information in the service is subject to acceptance
procedures. Entering your information does not result in automatic
inclusion in the service. By entering your information, you are
submitting information to the approval process. You will be notified
by e-mail if the profile meets the inclusion criteria.
IDS reserves the right to edit each contribution (within the limits
of the 1998 UK Data Protection Act). If any of the information submitted
is deemed to be offensive, inflammatory or materially misleading
by IDS (in its sole discretion), IDS reserves the right to refuse
to publish contributions.
Password protected services
You are responsible for the safeguarding of any information, such
as passwords and user IDs needed for use of your computer and/or
your account with IDS, and IDS will not be responsible for any consequences
of such information failing to be adequately safeguarded. You should not enter information on behalf of another person or
about any other person.
You are required to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure against
unauthorised access to the service, in particular the use of user
names and passwords by unauthorised individuals. Password reminders and other information from the service will
be sent to the email address you have given.
