ISACA Mauritius Chapter Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the Mauritius Chapter of ISACA (“ISACA Chapter”, ”we” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and retains personal information when you use the ISACA Chapter at https://engage.isaca.org/mauritiuschapter/home (the “Site”), or when you interact with us in person. Personal information is data that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly, or to contact you, including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected or used by the global ISACA websites or mobile applications, which is governed by the Privacy Notice located at https://www.isaca.org/privacy-policy. Also, this Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of any of our Chapter’s business partners (such as vendors, sponsors, or advertisers), and does not apply to personal information that we collect from or about our employees, consultants, contractors, vendors, sponsors, or advertisers.
1. Modifications to this Policy
From time to time, we may need to update or modify this Privacy Policy to address changes in the law, new issues, or to reflect changes on our Site. When we update this Privacy Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Policy so you know it has been updated. To the extent required by law, we will notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy.
2. International Visitors
This site is intended for users in Mauritius and internationally. Data protection laws may vary by jurisdiction. The ISACA Mauritius Chapter adheres to the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 (DPA) and relevant international standards. With over 200 local chapters worldwide, you can find your nearest one by searching on ISACA’s Local Chapters page.
We may transfer personal information outside Mauritius, including to ISACA Global and other ISACA Chapters worldwide, for governance, membership administration, certification, and event coordination purposes.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual protections, ISACA global privacy standards, and security measures to protect your data in accordance with applicable laws.
3. Collection of Personal Information You Directly Provide
We collect personal information from you when you interact with our Site and when you use our services. We may collect information directly from you through, for example, online and offline registration forms for events, exams, meetings, and other Chapter activities.
Events. We may host in-person and virtual conferences, training sessions, knowledge sharing events, and webinars. When you register for an event, we may collect information such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, business address, employer, ISACA membership status and professional certifications, payment information (processed securely by third-party payment providers), and professional interests or areas of study.
We use this information to manage registrations, participation, communications, certificates, and event logistics. Where information is not required for participation, it will be clearly identified as optional. If optional information is not provided, certain features or services may not be available.
Presenter. If you are a presenter at one of our events, we will collect information about you such as your name, employer, contact information and your photograph, and we may also collect information provided by event attendees who evaluated your performance as a presenter.
Committee Member. We may also collect your personal information if you are a committee member, or when you assist with initiatives or projects, or when you serve as a Chapter Officer, or on the Chapter Board.
Chapter Meetings. We may also collect your personal information when you attend a Chapter Meeting.
Communications. If you communicate or correspond with us by email, through postal mail, via telephone, or through other forms of communication, we may collect the information you provide as part of those communications. For example, if you correspond with us through email, we may collect and store the email address you use to send the applicable correspondence and use it to respond to your inquiry, to notify you of other ISACA Chapter events, or to keep a record of your complaint, accommodation request, and similar purposes.
We may also maintain information about you that you do not directly provide, whether it is information received from third parties, such as business partners who provide exam administration services, or information we collect about your activities. For example, we may keep track of which events you have attended, which exams you have taken, which boards and committees you have served on, and which offices you have held.

8. Security
We use reasonable measures to safeguard your personal information, and follow applicable laws regarding safeguarding such information under our control. We cannot, however, guarantee that your information will remain 100% secure. The Internet, by its nature, is a public forum, and we encourage you to use caution when disclosing information online.
