Information Collection and Use

We will collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us, including, but not limited to, your name, employer’s name, address(es), telephone and fax number, e-mail address, and credit card information. IMFA may use and store such information in order to notify you of official IMFA business; provide a product or service you requested; secure your membership status; analyze, evaluate, and improve member and prospective member needs and interests; alert you of IMFA news, activities, courses and programs, services and benefits; and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Personally identifiable information may be given to a third party in order to complete a specific business transaction on behalf of IMFA. Contact information from inquiries received by IMFA may be shared with IMFA members to provide a service, satisfy a question, or develop a prospective business relationship.

We may disclose personally identifiable information to the proper authorities if we become subject to a subpoena or court order, or if we are otherwise legally required to disclose such information. We also may use and disclose information about you to establish or exercise our legal rights, to enforce the Terms and Conditions of Use, to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being of any person. If all or part of IMFA is merged or otherwise transferred to another entity, we may transfer the personally identifiable information you provided to us to such entity as part of that transaction.

Registration and Order Forms

In order to enroll or register in a program; attend IMFA events, meetings, or conferences; or request products or services; you may be required to fill out a registration or order form and provide personally identifiable information which we will use to process your registration or order. In certain circumstances, a program accessed through the IMFA website may be jointly sponsored or co-sponsored with other organizations and registration may or may not be handled by IMFA. In such event, this privacy policy will not apply – instead, such third-party’s privacy policy will be controlling. Please note that IMFA is not responsible for the privacy policies of these other organizations (or their use of your personally identifiable or other information) and hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility in connection therewith. In addition, your name and information may appear on registration or attendee lists distributed at IMFA events, meetings and conferences to other attendees and third parties. Please note that IMFA provides Annual Conference sponsors and exhibitors with attendee names and postal addresses; not email addresses. Attendees are granted access to a list of the names and institutions (including countries) of other registered attendees.
