INTOSAI CBC Privacy Policy in accordance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

Introduction

The INTOSAI Capacity Building Committee (CBC) provides a website for its members. For the CBC Leadership and Secretariat the privacy and security of our committee members and stakeholders, respondents and website visitors are of paramount importance. The CBC Leadership and Secretariat is committed to protecting the data you share with us. This privacy policy explains how CBC processes information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual (personal data) collected through use of its website and platform.

For the purposes of this policy, the CBC Secretariat defines the term “User” as an entity with which the CBC Secretariat has an established relationship, the term “Respondent” as any individual who responds to invitations or surveys powered by the CBC Secretariat, and the term “Visitor” as an individual that visits our website, intosaibc.wpengine.com.

Any information stored on the CBC website or in listings (e-mail-, meeting registrations, memberships) is treated as confidential. All information is stored securely and is accessed by authorized personnel only. The CBC Secretariat implements and maintains appropriate technical, security and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and use, and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft or disclosure.

Collection and use

Respondents

The CBC Secretariat receives information from respondents when they produce and distribute invitations or surveys. Data entered or transferred to the CBC Secretariat such as texts, questions, contacts, media files, etc., may not be shared with a third party by the CBC Secretariat.

Respondents should be aware that in responding to inviations or surveys, they could be disclosing information that could make them personally identifiable to the CBC Secretariat. The security and privacy protection implemented on the CBC website does not cover this type of transfer or disclosure of any personal information. Respondents responding to surveys or invitations should be aware that they alone are responsible for the content of their responses. It is the CBC Secretariat’s responsibility to ensure that collection and processing of data is done in accordance with applicable law. The CBC Secretariat will not process personal data of respondents for other purposes or by other means than instructed.

Following meeting registrations the CBC Secretariat collects information such as name, company name, email, address, telephone, credit-card number and other relevant data. This information is used strictly by the CBC Secretariat to provide support, services, mailings, information and/or to meet contractual obligations.
