This Privacy Policy explains how the official website of the International Conference of Information Commissioners (ICIC) handles information when visitors access and use the website.

 

Information we collect

The ICIC website does not intentionally collect personal information from ordinary visitors.

The website does not currently use personal information for:

• Advertising;

• Marketing;

• Visitor profiling;

• Behavioural tracking;

• Selling or trading visitor information;

• Automated decision-making.

The website should not be used to submit confidential, sensitive or personal information unless a specific and secure method for doing so is provided.

 

Technical information

When a visitor accesses the website, limited technical information may be processed automatically by the website server or hosting provider.

This may include:

• Internet Protocol address;

• Browser type;

• Device type;

• Operating system;

• Date and time of access;

• Pages requested;

• Technical error information;

• Website security logs.

This information may be processed where necessary to operate, secure, maintain and troubleshoot the website.

ICIC does not use this technical information to create visitor profiles or send marketing communications.

 

Cookies

The website may use strictly necessary technical cookies for website security, WordPress administration and proper website operation.

The website does not intentionally use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.

Further information is available in the website’s Cookie Policy.

 

Information submitted voluntarily

If a visitor contacts ICIC by email or through another communication method, ICIC may receive the information voluntarily provided by that person.

Such information will be used only to:

• Respond to the communication;

• Handle the relevant enquiry;

• Provide requested information;

• Carry out legitimate administrative functions;

• Meet applicable legal or organisational requirements.

Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or confidential information.

 

Sharing of information

ICIC does not sell, rent or trade personal information.

Limited information may be processed by authorised technical service providers, including website hosting and security providers, where this is necessary to operate and protect the website.

Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or following a valid request from a competent public authority.

 

Data retention

ICIC does not maintain a database of ordinary website visitors.

Technical server and security logs may be retained temporarily according to the practices of the website hosting or security provider.

Information voluntarily submitted by email or another communication method may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, fulfil the relevant purpose, maintain appropriate records or comply with applicable requirements.

 

Data security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect the website and any information processed through it.

However, no website or electronic communication system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

External links

The ICIC website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.

ICIC is not responsible for the content, security, availability or privacy practices of external websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those websites separately.

 

Your rights

Depending on the applicable data protection law, individuals may have rights concerning personal information relating to them, including the right to request:

• Access;

• Correction;

• Deletion;

• Restriction of processing;

• Objection to processing;

• Information about how their data is handled.

Because the website does not maintain visitor accounts or a visitor database, ICIC may not hold information that directly identifies an ordinary website visitor.

 

Children’s privacy

The ICIC website provides institutional and informational content and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

 

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its services, technical providers or applicable requirements change.

The latest version will always be published on this page.
