What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Information collection and use

When you apply for IUSTI membership you are asked to provide personally identifiable data such as your name, institution and department and, work address, email, and phone numbers, and clinical fields of interest. This information is required to process your membership application or to renew or vary existing membership. 

IUSTI adheres to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

Information sharing and disclosure

IUSTI will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone.
