The Carnegie Endowment does not take institutional positions on public policy issues; the views represented on this website are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Endowment, its staff, or its trustees.
This site is owned and operated by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Your privacy both offline and online is of the utmost importance to us.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it, all of which comply with common web standards.
In particular our privacy policy is in accordance with current European data law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), taking effect on May 25, 2018.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a unique global network of policy research centers in Russia, China, Europe, the Middle East, India, and the United States. Our mission, dating back more than a century, is to advance international peace by leveraging our global network to shape debates and provide decisonmakers with independent insights and innovative ideas on the most consequential global threats and opportunities.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace gathers two types of information about users:
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace gathers user information in the following processes:
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace does break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user’s browser).
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. The goal of our tracking is to see how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie will only contain personal information that you specifically and knowingly supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in surveys.
When we send you emails, we may include a web beacon to allow us to determine the number of people who open our emails. When you click on a link in an email, we may record this individual response to allow us to customize our offerings to you. Web beacons collect only limited information, such as a cookie identifier, time and date of a page being viewed, and a description of the page on which the Web Beacon resides (the URL). Web Beacons can be refused when delivered via email. If you do not wish to receive Web Beacons via email, you will need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select Text only) emails via your email software.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace uses any information voluntarily given by our users or donors to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in surveys and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions, event-related emails, and announcements when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace never shares mailing lists with any third parties.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas, we do so to get a sense of trends and how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don’t track which terms a particular user enters.
Most of the personal data we process are collected from you. In addition to personal data collected from you, we also process personal data that have not been obtained from you. We process personal data which are manifestly made public either by you or by public or official sources. The personal data processed by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is limited to such things as name, address, email, telephone/mobile number, organization, job function, country, and topics of interest.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our funders better understand our audience’s demographics. As such, the data processing of your personal information is legally based on our legitimate interests, taking into consideration our reasonable mutual expectations in the achievement of our purpose.
We will not sell or share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. If the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has to transfer personal data to a third country or international organization, appropriate measures are taken to comply with GDPR obligations.
We do not sell or share donor information that we collect either offline or online with outside parties.
Your personal data are registered in our database management system which our centers across our global network have access to via a protected channel.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals at Carnegie or acting on Carnegie’s behalf have access to the information provided by our users and donors.
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
