ITAM Forum – Privacy and Data Protection Policy

The ITAM Forum understands that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used.

We respect and value the privacy of everyone whom we interact with, visits our websites (www.itamf.org) (https://forum.itamf.org) (https://members.itamf.org) and becomes a member of the ITAM Forum.

We do not collect personal data about you unless we need it for a specific reason. Any personal data we do collect will only be used as permitted by law and according to the original purpose for collecting it in the first place, unless you give us permission to process it for other reasons or it is lawful for us to do so.

Please read this privacy policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us using the contact details below.

What Data Do We Collect?

The kind of personal data collected will vary depending on how you interact with us:

  • If you register with us, for example, for a webinar, chapter or Special Interest Group (SIG), or attendance at one of our conferences or events, we will collect personal information you are asked to supply as part of the registration such as:
    • Name and job title
    • Contact information, including email address
    • Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
  • If you visit our websites (www.itamf.org) (https://forum.itamf.org)(https://members.itamf.org), we will collect your Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, details about your browser and your location (based on your IP address), which are automatically logged by our servers.
  • If you send us an email, contact us by phone or use one of our contact forms, we may collect your name, your email address, other contact information and any other information you choose to give us.
  • If you participate in Board Meetings, Workstream Meetings, Chapters, Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Networking Events or other collaborative work, your contact details will be shared with other participants and those who lead these groups, but only as is necessary for the execution of the work (For example, sending calendar invites).
  • If you decide to become an ITAM Forum member, we will collect the information you are asked to supply to join and create your ITAM forum Membership Profile.
  • If you signup to receive our email newsletter, we will collect your name and email address.

Membership Profile information is only available through the ITAM Forum website to ITAM Forum members who are signed in; however, your name and your photo (if you publish a photo to your Membership Profile) will be publicly available – you do not need to be an ITAM Forum member or signed in to see the names and profile photos of ITAM Forum members.
