International Visitors

If you are providing personally identifiable information and are not a resident of the United States, your country’s laws governing data collection and use may differ from those in the United States, in particular, the U.S. may not provide the same level of protections as those in your own country.  By providing information to New Jersey ISACA, you are transferring your personal data to the United States, and you consent to the transfer to, retention of and processing of your data in the United States.  

 

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

The New Jersey ISACA Chapter collects and maintains a variety of personally identifiable information, including email addresses, phone numbers, business and home addresses, as well as demographic information such as courses or areas of study in which you may be interested.  We collect information directly from you through, for example online registration forms, as well as offline, through event registration forms and periodic requests for information (e.g. surveys).  Information is collected and maintained from members, those who have been certified by ISACA, volunteer applicants, event attendees, speakers, participants in NJ ISACA Chapter programs, purchasers of NJ ISACA products and services, current and past web site users, survey respondents, and others].  To the extent that information requested is not required for your participation in a given NJISACA Chapter program, you will be told which information is optional.  Should you fail to provide optional information, certain NJ ISACA Chapterprograms or features may not be available to you.

 

The New Jersey ISACA Chapter 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 NJ ISACA collects about your activities.  For example, NJ ISACA keeps track of which events you have attended, or for which you are registered, which certifications you hold, which boards and committees you have served on, and which offices you have held.

 

Passive Online Data Collection

NJ ISACA also collects certain information passively, such as collecting online, non-identifying information through the use of cookies technology and/or Internet Protocol (“IP”) address tracking. Non-personal identification information might include the browser used by you, the type of computer, the operating systems, the Internet service providers, and other similar information.
