We, at ICIA recognize that our members are concerned about the manner in which we collect information with regards to the privacy of the information that we collect and our plans for using this information. ICIA has published this Privacy Policy for you to understand the care with which we wanted to deal with your personal information. Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an e-mail address or other contact information, whether at work or at home.

Our aim is to make sure that we only collect information about you that you want us to have and that we only use this information after we have told you how it will be collected and used and once we have given you the opportunity to consent to its use.

We collect information directly or indirectly from our members to ensure that we meet their needs and develop products or services, including online services. We like to know who our members are and what types of products and services they use and expect. Market research projects, member feedback, registration and co-branding partnerships with online service providers and advertisers are some with which we are able to explore what is or not attractive about our products and services.

Our objective is always to collect only the necessary information for us to achieve our purposes. For example, we will not ask you for your bank information unless you are purchasing a product or service from us. Whenever we ask for information, we will also inform you the reason why we are asking for it before or at the time of gathering the information. You will be given a choice to provide information to us.

Your personal information is compulsory for ICIA as in some instances such as product registration and purchases, surveys or contests, or through your use of certain online services provided by ICIA, there is information that we are required to collect, enabling us to process your request, such as registering your product, or to provide you with certain online services.

We contact our members to inform them about upcoming products, promotions as well as the occasional survey from time to time. To offer our members the maximum benefit of ICIA’s strategic and co-branding partnerships, we also undertake co-marketing agreements with third-parties who may offer similar products or services or wish to collect your personal information that may be identified or unidentified, to provide certain online services to you. In order to better personalise the content, banners and promotions that you and other users will see on our Web Sites, ICIA may not share profile information with its co-branding partners and as a registered member of ICIA, you may receive news and special offers.
