Sharing personal data
IBRO respects the privacy of our community members and will not share or provide access to the content of our databases with any person or entity outside of IBRO, unless we obtain explicit consent from those concerned. Our success depends on the contributions and participation of community members in our events and activities, as well as our ability to protect their personal data in order to ensure personal safety.

As an organization based in the European Union (EU), IBRO conforms to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that took effect on 25 May 2018.
This legislation grants individuals more control over the storage, use and sharing of their personal data and requires us to obtain explicit consent from those of our global community whose data we record, store and process in our databases.

and to contest the decision.
