Your rights to your personal information</h3> <p>Depending on the circumstances, you may have the following rights under data protection law:</p> <ol class="include-number"> <li><strong>The right to be informed</strong> - this is fulfilled through this notice.</li> <li><p><strong>The right of access </strong>- you have the right to obtain confirmation that your data is being processed and access to your personal information. This is so that you are aware of and can verify the lawfulness of the processing.

Where we refuse to respond to a request, we will explain why to you, informing you of your right to complain to the supervisory authority and to a judicial remedy without undue delay and at the latest within one month.</p> <p>Should you wish to exercise these rights, we may require you to prove your identity. Please address requests to the Operations Director at dataprotection@int-bar.org, or by post to International Bar Association, 5 Chancery Lane, London, WC2A 1LG, or via our social media channels and we will respond within 30 days, of receipt of your written request and confirmed ID.

Rights in relation to profiling and remarketing</h3> <p><strong>11.1 Profiling</strong></p> <p>We may collect, and our third party providers of advertisements and content may collect, information about where you are on the internet (e.g. the URL you came from, IP address, domain types like .co.uk and .com), your browser type, the country and telephone area code where your computer is located, purchase history, the pages of our website that were viewed during your visit, the advertisements you clicked on, and any search terms that you entered on our website ("User Information"). We may collect this information even if you do not register with us. </p> <p>You should be aware that this site is being monitored and may capture information about your visit that will help us improve the quality of our service or be used to present you with IBA products and services which are relevant to your browsing history when you visit other websites. </p> <p><strong>11.2 Remarketing</strong></p> <p>The IBA uses remarketing on other websites to present you with products and services we think may be of interest to you, based on your browsing history. Third-party vendors, including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, may show IBA adverts on sites across the Internet. </p> <p>We do have relationships with carefully selected and monitored suppliers who may also set cookies during your visit to be used for remarketing purposes, to show you different products and services based on what you appear to be interested in. These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. If you'd like to opt out , please go to the <a href="https://www.networkadvertising.org/">Network Advertising Initiative</a> website (opens in a new window - please note that we're not responsible for the content of external websites). </p></div></div><div class="yCmsComponent col-12"> <div class="content"><h3>12. Recipients – Information and Disclosure</h3> <p>The IBA may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances: </p> <ol class="include-number"> <li>Internally within our organisation to those who have a “need to know” the information for business or legal reasons, for example, in order to carry out an administrative function, such as processing an invoice or to direct a query that you have submitted to the relevant IBA office.</li> <li>To suppliers or service providers only to provide the products or services you've requested from us where, for example, we use a separate company to deliver goods to you. </li> <li>To third parties who provide a service to us and are data processors. This would include our trusted partners that work with us, and other entities that act as fundraisers for IBA, sell IBA products or provide IBA information and marketing (subject to your communication preferences and our internal policies and procedures). We require these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and data protection laws and we will make sure that appropriate controls are in place. We enter into contracts with all of our data processors and regularly monitor their activities to ensure they are complying with IBA policies and procedures. </li> <li>Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example, to government bodies and law enforcement agencies), or in order to enforce or apply our rights (including in relation to our website or other applicable terms and conditions) or to protect the IBA, for example in cases of suspected fraud or defamation. </li> <li>To IBA Officers, to assist with the running of the IBA. </li> </ol></div></div><div class="yCmsComponent col-12"> <div class="content"><h3>13. International transfers of personal information</h3> <p>As the IBA is a global association, we have regional offices in Sao Paulo, Seoul, The Hague and Washington. They transfer, process and store the data hosted in the UK in order to provide IBA services at a more local level. We have data sharing agreements in place with each office. </p> <p>We use suppliers (such as conference venues) outside the UK and the EEA. This means that the personal information of individuals from the UK and the EEA may be transferred, processed and stored outside the UK or the EEA (as applicable). This includes countries that the UK or European Union authorities do not consider provides and adequate level of protection for personal information. However, we take steps to put in place suitable safeguards to protect your personal information when processed by the supplier such as entering into the European Commission approved standard contractual clauses.
