We ask that you read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

IFFO EVENTS

This Privacy Policy only applies to IFFO events.  It does not apply to any personal information collected via IFFO for other purposes, such as membership, mailshots etc.

We recognise that your privacy is very important and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect from you. The Privacy Act governs the way in which we must manage your personal information.

We encourage you to regularly check our website for any updates to this privacy policy.

We may pass on some of your personal information if we have a legal obligation to do so, for instance, to comply with any court order or law, or to pay VAT.

Failure to provide information

If the personal information you provide to us is incomplete and/or inaccurate, we may be unable to provide you with the services you are seeking.

Data security

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and we can’t guarantee the security of your data while it’s in transit.  Any data you send is at your own risk.

The security of your personal information is important to us.  We have procedures and security features in place to keep your data secure once we receive it.  We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including electronic and physical security measures.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you have a personal responsibility for keeping this password confidential.  We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
