Transferring the information outside the
EEA
For any of the above purposes we may send your information outside
the European Economic Area. Some of these jurisdictions offer
differing levels of protection of personal information, not all of
which may be as high as the UK.
Does IFIS use cookies?
Like many other commercial websites we use cookies. A cookie is a
text file in the browser directory of your computer's hard drive.
Any website other than the one that set up the cookie cannot read
the cookie. Cookies will enable our website to recognise personally
identifiable information you have voluntarily given us and may use
it to present you with custom web pages.
Accuracy of information
We want to help keep your information accurate. You can review and
modify the information we hold on you at any time by contacting us
directly at IFIS, Lane End House, Shinfield Road, Shinfield,
Reading, RG2 9BB, United Kingdom. (Email: ifis@ifis.org)
Sharing personal information
We will not under any circumstance sell, trade or rent your
personal details to a third party without your specific permission
to do so. However, this will not stop us from sharing some of your
information with third parties that may be involved in processing
your order(s), nor will it prohibit us providing individually
identifiable information to third parties in any case where it is
required by law.
Opt out
The information you give us is of a voluntary nature. You may
decline to provide the information requested or you may ask us to
permanently delete or deactivate individually identifiable
registration information from our data base and/or have your name
removed from our mailing list. If you choose to withhold
information we may not be able to process an order you have made or
send out information you have requested.
