Effective December 11, 2018
In compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, the International Field Directors & Technologies Conference now posts our privacy policy online. This privacy policy is incorporated into and is a part of the Terms and Conditions of Use of our Site.
As part of this policy, IFD&TC wishes to assure you that we will keep your e-mail address and mailing address confidential. We do not sell, rent or lease to third parties the emails of attendees, or anyone else with whom we conduct business.
Information Collection and Use
We will collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us, including, but not limited to, your name, employer’s name, address(es), telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card information. IFD&TC may use and store your contact information in order to notify you of official IFD&TC business; complete your online donation; alert you of IFD&TC news, activities, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Personally identifiable information may be given to a third party in order to complete a specific business transaction on behalf of IFD&TC. Contact information from inquiries received by IFD&TC may be shared with members of the IFD&TC conference organizing team to arrange conference sessions or answer a question.
We may disclose personally identifiable information to the proper authorities if we become subject to a subpoena or court order, or if we are otherwise legally required to disclose such information. We also may use and disclose information about you to establish or exercise our legal rights, to enforce the Terms and Conditions of Use, to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being of any person. If all or part of IFD&TC is merged or otherwise transferred to another entity, we may transfer the personally identifiable information you provided to us to such entity as part of that transaction.
Registration and Donation Forms
In order to submit a conference abstract, register in a program, attend the yearly IFD&TC conference or make a donation to IFD&TC, you may be required to fill out a registration or donation form and provide personally identifiable information which we will use to process your registration or donation. In certain circumstances, a program accessed through the Site may be jointly sponsored or co-sponsored with other organizations and registration may or may not be handled by IFD&TC. In such event, this privacy policy will not apply – instead, such third-party’s privacy policy will be controlling. Please note that IFD&TC is not responsible for the privacy policies of these other organizations (or their use of your personally identifiable or other information) and hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility in connection therewith. In addition, your name and information may appear on registration or attendee lists distributed at IFD&TC conferences to other attendees and third parties. Attendees are granted access to a list of the names and institutions (including countries) of other registered attendees.

Cookies are pieces of stored information used to provide smoother navigation throughout the Site, such as a saved password; to identify user trends, such as page views; and for other internal purposes, such as assessing the effectiveness of the Site.

Links
There are links to other websites throughout the Site. Please note that IFD&TC is not responsible for the privacy policies of those other sites and hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility in connection with such linked sites.
Security
Online registration and information such as credit card numbers will be secured using a commercially accepted method of encryption. However, while we employ reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission is completely infallible, and we cannot guarantee its absolute safety. If you become aware of any breach of Site security, please contact us immediately.
