The Personal Information that IFERP collects and that you provide to us may occasionally be used to improve our Web Site and wider offerings (on a confidential basis) or to enable us to comply with our legal obligations. Aside from this we will only use your personal Information for staying in touch with you (as described in more detail below) and generally for the purposes for which you provided it, including in order to.

process your application and registration for a conference, contest or other activity.

Member Databases

IFERP maintains member databases that contain mailing, billing, and Member profile information (such as your name, address and contact details), as well as a record of each Member's product and service purchases. IFERP also maintains databases of Member and non-member purchases and of registrations for conferences and other IFERP activities. The information in these databases is used by authorized IFERP staff members to process orders; mail invoices, purchases, renewal notices, and announcements; respond to Member inquiries; and help us improve our offerings. Member records are maintained as long as an individual is an IFERP member and for two years following a membership lapse. Purchases and credit card transactions are retained for as long as required to meet contractual, tax, or auditing needs.

All personally identifiable information contained in IFERP membership, purchase, and registration databases is treated as confidential and will be used only for the purposes stated in this Policy, except where required by law.

IFERP Emails

From time to time, IFERP may send emails to Members or other visitors to the Web Site, such as:

"Must Have" messages that help to service IFERP Members including answers to Member questions; acknowledgments of the receipt of membership applications, renewal notices, and other orders;

Occasional "Member Update" announcements about IFERP services that we believe to be of some importance to Members. These announcements are short, straightforward messages that contain pointers to online resources where members can explore the information more fully;

Email messages that are a part of a program for which a Member has registered (e.g. an IFERP Digital Library early alert email system); and

Where we have the consent of Members or users, emails targeted at specific IFERP groups and which are on distribution lists (e.g. special interest group members, chapter officers, etc.). Only IFERP headquarters staff can create and support "iferp.in" email distribution lists.

IFERP does not sell, rent, or exchange email addresses of its Members and customers. If at any time you decide that you no longer wish to receive any of the emails described above, you may do so by using the "unsubscribe" instructions set out at the bottom of each email.
