For general questions about how we use your personal information or any requests relating to your information, send an e-mail to&nbsp;info@fpf.org.</p> <p>At the FPF, we are committed to the use of personal information in a reasonable and responsible manner, and will not collect, retain, use, or disclose personal information for any purpose other than those described in this Policy. We will not collect more information than is needed to accomplish the purposes described in this Policy, and will not retain any information collected longer than is necessary to fulfill those purposes.</p> <strong>What personal information we collect and use</strong> <p>Processing personal information is incidental to our operations. The categories of personal information we process on a regular basis are&nbsp;<strong>names (first, last, and nickname), professional affiliation, contact details</strong>&nbsp;(including job title, mailing address, and professional email address),&nbsp;<strong>brief biographies, and communications you send us</strong>.</p> <p>We also collect personal information from users that access our websites, including users that join our Portal. In addition to the categories described above, <strong>we collect information about what content users of our Portal have interacted with and submitted</strong>, and users of the Portal may also choose to voluntarily provide us with any the following information in association with a user account:&nbsp;</p> <ol> <li>Social media accounts linked to user account</li> <li>Profile photograph</li> <li>Opt-ins/opt-outs for marketing &amp. working group selections&nbsp;</li> <li>Working group membership selections</li> <li>A free-text user account bio</li> <li>User-user interactions — posts visible to the community, private “direct messages”, “connection/friends” selections</li> <li>Technical information (browser, IP address, information retrieved through cookies)&nbsp;</li> <li>Registration for FPF/associated events</li> </ol> <p>We occasionally process&nbsp;<strong>travel schedules for our guests</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>payment information for reimbursements</strong>, as well as&nbsp;<strong>images of the participants to our events</strong>.</p> <p>As a rule, we obtain personal information directly from you. In limited situations, we also use information we observe about you. This happens when you visit our website, if you accept cookies (see our&nbsp;cookie policy for more details), when we receive information on whether you opened or not the emails with our Newsletters (unless you block this tracking). If you use our Portal, we process information about the content that you have posted and/or interacted with through the use of the Portal. Additionally, FPF collects some personal information about new users of the Portal from FPF stakeholders, where new users are added to the Portal as part of their relationship with FPF.</p> <p>If you are someone we would appreciate engaging with as part of our core activity, such as a privacy professional, member of the media, or public official, we obtain your contact details and affiliation from third parties or from publicly available sources.</p> <strong>Why and how we use your personal information</strong> <p>We use this personal information to send you communications related to our work, invitations for events or to facilitate your participation to our working groups, for conferences and other events, and to enable your use of the Portal as is described in the Future of Privacy Forum Portal Terms and Conditions.</p> <p>Our email delivery vendor will use a web beacon which tracks whether recipients have opened the emails we send in order to provide us open rate information about our email communications.

This period of time varies, so we can’t give you a precise number. As a rule, if you are a newsletter subscriber, we will continue sending you our newsletter until you opt out or our email bounces. In these cases, we will proceed to erasing your email address from our database. If you work for one of our affiliated organizations, we keep your contact information for the duration of the relationship. If you are a registrant for one of our events, we are storing your name and contact details to send you notice of future events, unless you instruct us at registration not to do so.

Just send us an e-mail at&nbsp;info@fpf.org&nbsp;with any request you may have regarding these rights or, if your request relates to processing carried out in the context of the FPF Portal, reach out to us at membership@fpf.org.&nbsp;</p> <strong>International transfers</strong> <p>We transfer your personal data to the United States whenever you interact with us. The US has not sought, nor obtained adequacy status from the European Union.&nbsp;</p> <p>We transfer your personal data on the basis of the derogations in Article 49 GDPR, particularly:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>consent</strong>, for newsletter subscribers and certain processing in relation to organizing events – such as collecting and storing images;</li> <li> <strong>necessity to enter and for the performance of a contract</strong>&nbsp;for registration information to participate in our events;</li> <li>our&nbsp;<strong>compelling legitimate interests</strong>&nbsp;to engage with stakeholders to advance our mission and bridge the understanding of the American and European privacy cultures, for obtaining the professional contact details and communicating with stakeholders for sending occasional invitations to events or exchanging information. For this last derogation, we took into account that we only process personal data occasionally, mostly from publicly available sources, concerning a very limited number of data subjects, in a non-intrusive way and posing very limited risks to rights of individuals.</li> </ul> <p>In order to safeguard your personal data, we directly apply the GDPR provisions to your personal data.</p> <p>As a matter of principle, we do not engage in any onward transfers regarding your data, beyond the access that our processors have to your data. We share personal data with our partners when we organize events jointly. We select carefully our processors and our partners, having regard to their stance related to privacy, and their implementation of mechanisms that ensure lawful transfers of personal data from the EU. &nbsp;</p> <strong>Concerns</strong> <p>If&nbsp;you have concerns, questions or requests about how we process personal data, write to us at&nbsp;info@fpf.org.

We will duly inform you of any changes via our platform and we will give you the opportunity to express your consent for processing your data for different and new purposes, or we will in any case inform you about the legal basis of such processing other than consent.</p> <p>Last Updated on September 8, 2021</p> Related Sites <ul> <li>Israel Tech Policy Institute</li> <li>Student Privacy Compass</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Twitter</li> <li>Youtube</li> <li>LinkedIn</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Privacy Policy</li> <li>Cookie Preferences</li> <li>Creative Commons Attribution</li> </ul> <i> </i> Privacy Preference CenterWhen you visit any website, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies.
