IFCLA Privacy Statement

(Short version, plain language, no legal gymnastics)

Welcome to IFCLA

Welcome to IFCLA — whether you join us as a member, a supporter, or simply because you like good ideas and smart people. IFCLA is open to everyone. Our guiding principle is simple: sharing knowledge makes us all better.

Being part of the IFCLA family

When you join IFCLA, you become part of the IFCLA family. That means we may contact you by email or online with invitations to our annual IFCLA Conference, as well as to other IFCLA activities. Think online knowledge sessions, expert discussions, and opportunities to take part in consultation rounds, for example with EU institutions. No spam. Just relevant IFCLA stuff.

Membership specifics (the practical bits)

If you are a member, you will have access to your own online dashboard. There you can track your educational credits and other membership‑related information. Once a year, we will invite you to pay your annual membership fee (yes, that is the contribution invoice).
By keeping your membership active, you help secure the continuity and independence of the unique IFCLA network. Quite honestly: we couldn’t do this without you, and we are very grateful.

What we do not do with your data

We use your personal data only for IFCLA purposes.
We do not sell it.
We do not share it for commercial reasons.
We do not use it for anything unrelated.
We know personal data can be sensitive. That is why we collect as little as possible, store it securely, and keep it only for as long as we really need it.

Who is responsible?

The IFCLA network is organised by the IFCLA Foundation, together with its operational partner Olexx. They act as the data controllers under the GDPR.
Questions, doubts, ideas, or concerns? You can always reach us at ifcla@olexx.eu.

Your rights (and yes, you have them)

You always have the right to object, to access your data, and to ask for correction or deletion. Just tell us what you would like, and we will act on your request as quickly as possible.
Prefer to file a complaint? You can do so with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, which is our lead supervisory authority. That said, we truly see this as a last resort. We would much rather sort things out together. Don’t be shy — just contact us.
