By sharing your data with us, you agree to this data transfer, storage or processing.

We take the security of your data very seriously and make every effort to ensure the integrity thereof. Nevertheless, despite precautions, the provision and storage of electronic data can not be considered completely secure. Therefore, sharing your data with us is entirely at your own risk.

Sharing your data

We will not disclose your personal data to any parties outside of IPI’s organisational structure without your consent. An exception applies in cases required by law or if we believe there has been an inappropriate intereference with our website or services.

Aggregate statistical information on web traffic may on occasion be shared with organisation stakeholders, such as donors, or with third-party service providers, such as website managers or designers.
