Some third-party services used on the website may also place their own cookies or similar technologies.

SHIELD may use website analytics services to understand general visitor activity, such as which pages are visited, how visitors reach the website and how the website performs.
Analytics information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to improve the website and user experience.
Where third-party analytics services are used, their own privacy policies may also apply.
The SHIELD website may use third-party services to provide certain functions, including website hosting, forms, analytics, maps, email delivery, security, social media features or payment processing.
These providers may process certain information as necessary to provide their services.
SHIELD does not control the privacy practices of third-party services. Visitors should review the privacy policies of relevant third-party providers where appropriate.
SHIELD takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website, online form or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, we encourage visitors to avoid sending confidential or highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or unsecured communication channels.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate records, to respond to enquiries, to manage relationships with partners or volunteers, or to meet applicable legal and administrative requirements.
The actual retention period may depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
SHIELD does not intend to sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
We may share information where reasonably necessary:
With service providers that help operate our website or communications
With authorized members of SHIELD who need the information to respond to your request
Where you have given permission to share it
Where required by applicable law or a lawful request
Where necessary to protect the security, rights or property of SHIELD, our users or others
Where possible and appropriate, we seek to limit information sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
