IARSS Registration Privacy Policy

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for IARSS.  This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website. It will notify you of the following:

  1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
  2. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
  3. The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
  4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to register for workshop.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about updated news, new workshops or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Updates

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via email at hello@iarss.org.

Registration

In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.

Cancellation

Request for refunds must be submitted to the organization that offers the program you have registered for. Please refer to that organization’s cancellation policy for further information.

Orders

We request information from you on our various forms. You must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). IARSS processes all payments using various online vendors based on the preferences of the organization hosting the event.  During this process you will be transferred to their host organization’s respective site and all information stays encrypted.  This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you.
