Privacy Policy

We may collect contact information (name, email, phone, institutional affiliation) through our forms, usage data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) collected automatically, and communications you send to us. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information or government identification numbers.

We use the information we collect to process membership applications and inquiries, send updates and event announcements with your consent, improve the Site, comply with legal obligations, and analyze aggregate usage trends. We will not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

The Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather usage analytics. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. We may use third-party analytics services that collect anonymized data about Site usage.

We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Site, legal authorities when required by law, and successors in the event of a merger or acquisition — all subject to the same privacy commitments.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Membership application data is retained for the duration of the membership relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, withdraw consent for marketing communications, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact privacy@ieea-global.org.

IEEA operates internationally across North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws.

The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
