At IAMAT, your privacy is important to us and maintaining your trust and confidence is one of our highest priorities. We make every effort to ensure that your privacy is protected.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It outlines the information we collect about you and about your use of IAMAT's website. It also explains the choices you have about how your personal information is used and how we protect that information.
If you choose to become an IAMAT donor, renew your donation, donate, purchase cart items and / or gift memberships, ask us a question through your donor profile page, or contact us through our website, you will be required to submit personal information that we can use to identify or contact you. Personal information collected includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address. This information is recorded and stored in our databases which are password protected and only accessible by authorized IAMAT employees.
We do not temporarily hold or store your credit card information in our databases when you donate or purchase a cart item from our website. We use a reputable 3rd party credit card processor which certifies that we are compliant with all their identity and security requirements. We also use the latest SSL connections (Secure Socket Layer) technology to transmit your credit card information from our website to our 3rd party processor.
To provide you with a fully functional experience on our website, we also collect anonymous, non-personal information through Google Analytics that cannot identify you or allow us to contact you. This information is collected by cookies set on your internet browser and is analysed by authorized IAMAT employees only.
We also use Google Analytics to help us improve the website's content. See the Google Analytics Privacy Policy for more information.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to outside parties. Your personal information may be transferred to government authorities when required by law.
When you register or renew your IAMAT membership, you will be given the option of receiving recurring informational materials such as eNewsletters and emails related to travel health. We use a 3rd party email service (MailChimp) to create and send these emails. At any time you can choose to opt out of receiving these materials by following the directions included at the bottom of the eNewsletter or email, or by contacting us. See contact information below.
Our Blog and social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr) are intended to provide the most current travel health advice, the latest developments in travel medicine, and a forum for travellers and health providers to comment and ask questions relating to travel health matters.
Our Editorial Policy outlines additional information on our Blog and social media channels.
Any information you share on IAMAT's social media channels is public, not private. Please consider carefully before posting any personal information on these platforms. What you post, can be seen, disclosed, or collected by 3rd parties and may be used by others in ways that we cannot predict, including 3rd party search engines.
If you mistakenly post personal information on any IAMAT online public forums, and would like to be removed, contact us to request that it be removed. Please note that we cannot guarantee that your information will be removed from 3rd party sites.
We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. When you enter personal information, we encrypt the transmission of that information or use SSL connections (Secure Socket Layer) technology.
We retain your personal information to provide you with membership and travel health services. At any time you can instruct us to remove your personal information. We also retain your personal information as necessary to comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.
