Privacy SupplementGeneral Privacy Policy
The Global Factbook collects nothing beyond what the general Privacy Policy already covers. It has no accounts, no contact form and no submissions, its content concerns foreign states rather than individuals, and the only personal data it processes is the ordinary technical information created when a page is requested.

Travel Advisories Are Advice
The Factbook carries the travel advisories of the State of the Kaharagians. An advisory is advice. It is offered so that a Kaharagian national may weigh it before travelling, and it is a summary judgement formed at a moment in time, from information that is often incomplete.
An advisory is not a guarantee of safety, and not a prediction. In particular:
- a low advisory level, or the absence of any advisory for a country, is not an assurance that travel there is safe;
- a high advisory level is not a prohibition on travel, and the decision to travel, and to remain, is the traveller's own;
- an advisory does not oblige the State to assist a person who travels, and no assurance of assistance abroad is given or implied by it; and
- an advisory has no effect on any obligation owed to a carrier, an insurer, or the authorities of the country concerned, and is not a substitute for the entry, health and safety requirements of that country.
Currency and Supersession
An advisory speaks as at the date it bears. Conditions in a country may change faster than an advisory can be revised. Only the current advisory represents the position of the State; an earlier advisory is superseded, and is retained for the record.
Foreign States
The Factbook concerns states, territories and entities other than Kaharagia. Nothing in an entry is a statement of the law of the country described, and nothing in it is a substitute for the primary sources of that country, or for the advice of its authorities.
Recognition and Diplomatic Position
Where an entry states the position of the State of the Kaharagians on the recognition of a state, a government, or a claim of sovereignty or territorial extent, that statement is an act of sovereign discretion, taken through Section II (Foreign Affairs) of the Secretariat of State. It may be revised or withdrawn at any time, without notice and without reasons.
Such a statement gives rise to no right, claim or cause of action against the State, and is not a representation as to the status of any matter under the law of a foreign jurisdiction.
Foreign Symbols
Flags, arms, emblems and other insignia of foreign states are reproduced for reference. Rights in them belong to the state concerned, are unaffected by their appearance here, and the Crown Copyright and Re-use Policy confers no permission over them.
