In short
We collect only what we need to run association services, do not sell your data, and give you ways to ask questions or request changes to your information.
What we collect
Depending on how you use our services, we may collect: name, email address, phone number, academic or professional affiliation, membership details, messages you send through contact forms, and technical data such as browser type, device, and approximate location derived from IP address.
How we use your data
We use personal data to provide membership and educational services, respond to enquiries, send service-related notices (and, with your consent, newsletters), improve the website, meet legal and regulatory obligations, and protect the security of our systems and community.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use essential cookies for login sessions, language preference, and theme settings. We may use limited analytics to understand aggregate traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking essential cookies may affect site features.
Sharing with others
We do not sell personal data. We share information only when necessary: with trusted service providers who process data on our behalf under contract, with partner institutions when you choose to participate in joint programmes, or when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by membership, accounting, and legal rules. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it in a secure manner.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your data, correction of inaccuracies, deletion where appropriate, restriction of processing, or withdrawal of consent for optional communications. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No online system is completely risk-free; please keep your account credentials confidential.

We may update this page when our practices or legal requirements change. The “last updated” date at the top of the page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the site after changes means you acknowledge the updated policy.
