CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, add or delete
provisions of this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post the effective date
of any change at the top of this Privacy Policy. Your use of our Website, which
includes the Member Portal, after the effective date of any such modification
means you accept and agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy, as modified. We
urge you to come back to this page and review this Privacy Policy regularly so
that you remain aware of the terms and conditions that apply to you.
COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION
"Personal Information” may include information such as your name, postal
address, email, and telephone number. You voluntarily provide this information
to us, for example, when you subscribe to receive our newsletters, register
with our Member Sign Up Portal, or make a request for information or services.
We may use this information for purposes including responding to your requests
as well as to provide you access to interactive features (i.e., conferences or
webinars). See the section entitled "How We Use Information” for more detail.
We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to others except as otherwise
disclosed in this policy. If necessary, our Website may collect payment and
payment instrument information from you for the purpose of billing you for
products, services, or event tickets you purchase through our Website.
COLLECTING NON-PERSONAL
INFORMATION
We use "cookies,” which are small text files stored on your computer/device
(and maintained by your browser), and often include a randomized unique
identifier so that our Website can ‘recognize’ this cookie again. We primarily
use cookies that are considered ‘mandatory’ or ‘technically necessary’ to
provide our Website and its core functionality to you (e.g., cookies that store
your log-in information or remember other settings, so you don’t have to
re-enter them each time you return to our Website), and Google Analytics for
audience measurement purposes (as described below). Please note that we do not
use, or engage other operational service providers or entities to use on our
behalf, retargeting cookies (e.g., cookies that track you on our Website and
across other websites in order to serve you a targeted advertisement) or other
cookies that may track your experience on our Website in order to build user
profiles. Should our use of cookies change in the future, we will update this
Privacy Policy and notify you appropriately before such use (including
obtaining your consent, as applicable).
We also use Google Analytics to obtain high-level "audience measurement” data such as the referral web domain, type of operating system/browser used, date and time of visit, and other information relating to activities on our Website to understand its usage better, analyse trends, and optimise the Website experience. To help ensure such data within Google Analytics cannot be linked back to an identifiable user, the last octet of all IP Addresses collected have been anonymized, ‘Sharing With Google,’ ‘Remarketing and Advertising,’ and ‘Demographics and Interests’ features have been disabled, and retention of analytics has been set to 14 months.
We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer or device for purposes that are unrelated to our Website or your interaction with our Website. You may stop or restrict cookies on your computer or purge them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences and you should consult the operating instructions that apply to your browser for instructions should you wish to do so and in general to determine how best to configure your browser settings to meet your requirements. Note that if you "turn off,” purge, or disable cookies, although you may still use our Website, you may not be able to use all of the features, functions, or services available on our Website.

OPERATIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS,
CO-SPONSORS, AND LINKS TO OTHERS
We may use third parties for the purpose of administering, operating,
configuring our Website, maintaining and providing internal support for our
Website (including data storage), and distributing our online, email, messaged,
or web-based newsletters and other information. We will refer to these third
parties as our "operational service providers.”
Further, our Website may contain or display information from sponsors, co-sponsors, operational service providers, or others that offer to make information, products, and/or services available, and/or that provide opportunities to participate in promotions or engage in activities or that link or redirect your browser to other websites, web pages, materials, or organizations.
Even if we have a relationship with a third party you may encounter or see on our Website, the links or references to third parties or any of their websites, including any cookies or other technology they may use on such websites, are not under our control and they have their own terms, conditions, policies, and practices that apply to you in connection with their websites, including those concerning collection, use and disclosure of your information (including Personal Information).
Some IAB services, such as seminars, educational events, conferences, newsletters, and discussion groups, may be co-sponsored in conjunction with other companies that are not under the control of the IAB. Likewise, such services might also include non-IAB presenters that are also not under the control of the IAB. Whenever we are involved in the provision of such services, we will disclose the name of co-sponsors and non-IAB presenters. When you register for such services, your name, title, and company may be shared with such co-sponsors and non-IAB presenters in order to better tailor our events. Further, when you participate, or engage with, such services, whether online or in-person, you should be aware that any information you provide, which may include Personal Information, may be disclosed to us, co-sponsors, and non-IAB presenters, and that their respective policies, practices, terms and conditions, and not ours, may apply to their collection and use of your information. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Website or take advantage links or other references, many of which may direct you or your Internet browser to websites or web pages of another party. You should read their privacy statements and the terms and conditions that apply because we are not responsible for any of the terms or conditions, privacy practices, the content, functions, features, activities, and/or transactions you may engage in when you are not using our Website.
INFORMATION SHARING
