Thank you for visiting the International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC).
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy is where we explain to you what personal information is collected when you visit our site, become a member of our society, attend one of our events, or submit information to us. This policy also explains how your personal information is collected, how we may use that information, where we store it, how long we store it for, and how we protect it. We will also explain your rights in relation to your personal information.
Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal information and how we may collect it and treat it.

1. Our Privacy Policy

Our Cookie Policy is available [HERE] and explains more about how we may collect personal information about you via cookies (it also explains what cookies are).
3. Our Retention Policy

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via the contact form on the website or via info@theific.org
WHO WE ARE
We are the International Federation of Infection Control. We are registered in England as a Charity with The Charity Commission as “IFIC Limited”. Our registered number is 1072681 and our registered office is at
St James House
Vicar Lane
Sheffield
S1 2EX
But, for the purposes of these policies, it’s just easier if we refer to ourselves as “we”.
WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY GOVERNS
This Privacy Policy applies to our site www.theific.org, our membership services, any communications that we may send to you in connection with your membership with us, when you register for any of our events and any other services that we may provide to you (we’ll just call these “our services” for short).
In the context of this Privacy Policy “personal information” means information which, on its own or in combination with other information, can be used to identify you, in particular by reference to an identifier such as your name, your address, banking information, or location data.
Provided that you consent to us collecting your personal information when you visit our site, become a member of our society, attend one of our events, or opt-in to receive communications from us then this Privacy Policy will govern how we may use that personal information.
Because we are an organisation located in the United Kingdom the personal information that you give us or that we collect from you will be held under UK data protection legislation (but we’ll just refer to this as “the legislation”). The legislation requires that we tell you that we are a data controller for your personal information or, in other words, we determine the purposes for which and the manner in which any of your personal information are, or are to be, processed by us.
HOW YOU CONSENT TO US COLLECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Depending on how you interact with us we may seek to obtain your consent in a number of different ways. We will determine which method is more appropriate but, in any event, we will always ask your express consent before collecting your personal information.
Our website
If you are only visiting our site then you should see an overlay on screen directing you to this Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. By clicking or selecting the “I accept” button that appears in the overlay then you are demonstrating to us that you are freely giving us informed and specific consent for us to collect and process your personal information for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy and you are accepting and consenting to the practices described.
If you do not click or select the “I accept” button that appears in the overlay at the bottom of your screen then we will not collect your personal information – this is subject to the caveat below.
If you do not see an overlay on screen then you may have already accepted our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. You may also be using a pop-up blocker or similar tools that may prevent this policy from being brought to your attention. Please ensure that any pop-up blockers are disabled when you use our site. We cannot be held liable to you if you use pop-up blocks or similar tools that prevent us from complying with our obligations under the legislation.
There is still some information that we may automatically collect about your computing device when you visit our site. This normally isn’t personal information but rather technical information sent by your device and used to connect your computer, tablet, or mobile device to the Internet, including your browser type and version, the time when you visit our site, your time zone setting, certain browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform. This type of information is sent by you to our site automatically and it isn’t something that we can prevent. We only use this information to administer our site including troubleshooting, load testing, traffic throughput, data analysis, performance testing, and for anonymised research and statistics purposes that we only use internally.
Membership
If you are one of our society members, or would like to become a member of our society, then during your registration process we will ask you for certain types of personal information. Before you can complete the registration process you will be asked to read and understand this Privacy Policy and accept its terms. The information that we ask for as part of your registration process will only be used for the purposes of your membership with the society and we will not ask you for information that is irrelevant.
However, we will need you to accept the terms of our Privacy Policy in order to offer you membership with our society. If you do not consent to us collecting this personal information then we cannot provide you with a membership. It is important to understand that we require this information in order to manage your membership, stay in touch with you about society business, events, and monitor your membership status.
Our Events
You may have come across our society while attending an event and would like to become a member. Depending on the type of event you attended you may be asked to register with our society through our site or you may be asked to complete a paper-based form. If you are asked to register through our site then you will be prompted to read and accept this Privacy Policy. However, if you have been given a paper-based form then this Privacy Policy should be attached to it and you will be asked to confirm your express consent to us collecting your personal information when completing the form.
We will only hold your personal information as detailed in our Retention Policy [HERE].
INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
If you consent to us collecting your personal information then we may process the following data about you:
Information you give to us:
You may give us personal information about you by filling in forms on our site or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise. This includes information you may provide to us when you register to use our site, subscribe to our services, search our site, attend our events, participate in any discussion boards or other social media functions on our site, enter a competition, promotion or survey, and when you report a problem with our site.
The information you give us may include:
Information we collect about you:
Our website:
When you visit our site we may collect information about you, including which pages you have visited (including date and time) which services and pages you viewed or searched for, page response times, download errors, files downloaded, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from a page and any phone number used to call our customer service number.
The purpose of this information is to allow us to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, improving our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer, and as part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure.
Membership
When you become a member of our society we may, in addition to the information above, collect statistical information about you. For example your speciality and your location in order to help us provide you with the maximum value out of your membership with us. In most cases we will keep statistical information anonymous and we do not use this information for marketing purposes. However, we may retain it for historical, archival, and research purposes in order to further our remit and society goals.
We may also combine personal information that you have given us or we may have collected from you when you attended our events. We may combine the personal information that you pass to us with the information that we have collected about you as part of your engagement with our society. For example, this may include using photographs and videos that we collected about you while you attended one of our events. For the avoidance of doubt, we will only combine personal information that we believe is related and relevant to the purposes of growing and developing the legacy and history of our society and is relevant for archival purposes.
Information we receive from other sources:
Data collected from any of the other sites, services, or events that we operate may be shared internally and combined with data collected on this site and through your membership with us. We are also working closely with third parties (including, for example, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, analytics providers, search information providers, and credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them.
The information that we receive from these third parties will normally be in connection with your membership. For example, we may receive RSVP information about you if we use a third party events booking platform or if we use a third party payment gateway such as WorldPay, PayPal, or Stripe to process a payment from you. In these circumstances the information is being received from these sources because it is related to your membership with us or the services that you receive from us.
We do not knowingly pass your personal information to third parties for the purposes of marketing without your express consent.
Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that we participate in are subject to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively. We advise our visitors and members to use social media platforms wisely and communicate / engage upon them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details. We will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage our visitors and members wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact us through our primary communication channels such as by telephone or email.
Information you may pass to third-parties outside our control:
On many of the pages on our site you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable you to share or bookmark pages on our site. These may include buttons for: Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Facebook or other social features.
In order for us to implement these buttons on our site and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts that are executed from domains owned by third-parties and outside of our control.
You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the Internet, including on our site. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting our site, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button but are already or automatically logged into their services, like Google and Facebook.
We recommend that you check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your personal information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such personal information.
If we use a third party payment gateway such as WorldPay, PayPal, or Stripe then you may pass your financial details to these companies in order to process payment. In these circumstances we do not receive any of your financial information, rather, we receive confirmation as to whether your payment was successful or not.
Information we may pass to third-parties
Depending on how you engage with us, we may need to pass certain types of personal information about you to select third parties. We only pass this information to these third parties if it is necessary for the purposes of the services that we offer you and as part of your society membership. For example, if you register to attend one of our events we may need to pass your information to our badging partner in order to generate your badge.
The current third parties that we use are as follows:
If we need to transfer your personal information to one of the abovementioned third parties then we will ensure that we have provided appropriate safeguards and an adequate level of security for your personal information in order to protect you rights and freedoms.
HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you give us your personal information then we may use it to:
If you provide us with your e-mail then we may contact you by these electronic means (e-mail). We would use this information in order to keep you up to date about our events or to send you notifications about an event you may have registered or have expressed an interest in attending or provide you with general information about the goings-on within our society and wider industry. We will not use your personal information to provide you with emails on behalf of our industry partners without your express consent.
If you do not wish to receive any information by electronic means then please get in touch with us.
We do not engage in profiling and automated decision-making with respect to your personal information. For example we will not analyse or predict aspects concerning your economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements without your express consent.
Marketing
If you are a member we believe that we have a legitimate interest to contact you via e-mail or post for the duration of your membership and to send you reminders about outstanding fees or membership renewals. If you do not wish to receive any information then please get in touch with us.
If you are a non-member who attends one of our events and opts-in to receive information about us then, depending on what personal information we hold about you, we may decide to contact you via E-mail With information on similar events which we feel you may be interested in attending. The purpose of opting into receiving communications from us is to help us better understand you, engage with you, share details about the society, and to assist us in providing the types of communications that you wish to receive from us

Subject to the disclosure of information to the listed third parties we will not knowingly share your personal information with anyone outside of our society unless we are required under UK law or where we have anonymised your information so that you can no longer be identified.
Please remember that our Cookies Policy covers matters such as using your personal information for analytics purposes.
In some cases we may disclose information with select third parties:
WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The personal information that we collect from you will be stored within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. We may also store or transfer certain limited types of personal information outside of the European Economic Area where it is necessary for the purposes of your membership with us or where you have received a communication from us and opted-in to providing us with further information. Where we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA then we will ensure that we have provided appropriate safeguards and an adequate level of security for your personal information in order to protect you rights and freedoms.
All personal information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any online payment transactions will be encrypted using Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted from our site and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We apply a ‘Privacy by Design’ approach to protecting your personal information in order to promote privacy and data protection compliance from the start. However, by its very nature our site can be accessed by individuals from around the world and it may be that our members may access or view some of your personal information from outside of the European Economic Area – for example, if you are listed in our private member’s directory then that information may be viewable by other members even if they are not located in the European Economic Area.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal information or to restrict the purposes for which we may process your personal information. However, if you have an account or membership with us and you withdraw your consent then we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to certain parts of our site or suspend or termination your membership with us.
You can exercise your right at any time by contacting us. If you consented to us collecting and/or processing your personal information but you change your mind then you can get in touch with us about erasing the personal information we hold about you.
Please be aware that, even if we receive a request from you to delete your personal information, it may be that we cannot entirely remove all of your personal information. This is usually because we have a legitimate interest to hold onto some of that personal information, for example, if you have an ongoing contract with us, there are outstanding payments due by you to us, the personal information relates to a third-party such as a member of stuff, or we have a legal obligation to retain some or all of your personal information – but we’ll let you know.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
The legislation gives you the right to access a copy of the personal information that we hold about you.
In order to request a copy you need to submit a request to us – details on how to get in touch can be found at the bottom of this page. However, please remember that certain types of data cannot be disclosed to you as part of your request. For example, we cannot disclose information to you which identifies another individual or information that may be subject to legal professional privilege. In many cases we may be required to redact some of the documentation that you receive in order to comply with the legislation.
Additionally, we can’t just release your personal information to anyone. We can only release your personal information to you or an authorised third party who can demonstrate that you consented to have your personal information released – this is a legal requirement. Therefore, it is important for us to ensure that we confirm your identity before we can release any personal information.
If you send us a request to provide you with a copy of your personal information then we may ask you to provide some identification. We may ask you to provide a copy of your current and valid passport and/or driving license plus a utility bill (that is no more than 3 months old) and has your current address.
