Use, Sharing and Retention of Personally Identifiable Information

The ISACA Chapter uses personally identifiable information for the purposes described at the time of collection or as otherwise described to you; to process your requests; to report to others about whether you are certified or not; as permitted by law to provide you with information about the ISACA Chapter, our products and services or other products and services in which we believe you may be interested; or for other legitimate ISACA Chapter business purposes, including order processing, processing of certification or membership applications, or registering you for events or training programs. The ISACA Chapter also publishes the names and titles of board members and others who have assisted with initiatives or projects.

 

The ISACA Chapter may share personally identifiable information with third parties for legitimate business purposes, including for the following reasons or in the following circumstances:

 

  • To vendors or third-parties who deliver or provide goods and services or otherwise act on behalf of, or at the direction of the ISACA Chapter, which third parties include, for example, exam testing agencies and training providers and partners, product-fulfillment companies, third-party event hosts, other third parties who may provide services on websites that are accessible from links on one of our Site, and credit card companies processing payments;

 

  • To the ISACA Chapter volunteers and board members;

 

  • To the IT Governance Institute, ISACA Headquarters, and from time to time volunteers (such as ISACA board members) performing tasks on the ISACA Chapter’s behalf;

The ISACA Chapter also may use your profile information on an aggregate basis – without personal identifiers – to provide third parties with information, such as to help us develop new features and content for the Site, and to provide Sponsors and others with aggregate information about our users and the usage patterns of the Site.

 

Individuals are notified of the ISACA Chapter’s practices with respect to the sharing of information with third parties. When sharing information, the ISACA Chapter limits the amount and type of information shared to that which the other party needs or that is relevant to the other party. If the ISACA Chapter shares personally identifiable information with a vendor or other third party providing services on the ISACA Chapter’s behalf, the Chapter requires that the third party use the data as directed by the Chapter and that it maintain the confidentiality and security of the data. Chapter will take appropriate remedial actions if it becomes aware of any situation in which a third-party misuses personally identifiable information.

 

The ISACA Chapter retains personally identifiable information for as long as necessary for its legitimate business purposes, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Since most information is in continuous use, much is retained on an indefinite basis. When Chapter finds that it has extensive information it is not using, it will determine appropriate means to dispose of personally identifiable information in a secure manner in keeping with its legal obligations.

 

Security 

The ISACA Chapter utilizes a website (“Site”) supported and managed by ISACA International (“ISACA”) who uses reasonable measures to safeguard sensitive personally identifiable information, which measures are appropriate to the type of information maintained, and follows applicable laws regarding safeguarding any such information under our control. In addition, in some areas of our Site, ISACA may use Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) or Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) encryption technology to enhance data privacy and help prevent loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under ISACA’s control.

 

The ISACA Chapter cannot guarantee, however, that your information will remain secure. The Internet by its nature is a public forum, and the ISACA Chapter encourages you to use caution when disclosing information online. Often, you are in the best situation to protect yourself online. You are responsible for protecting your username and password from third party access, and for selecting passwords that are secure.

 

Links to Third-Party Sites

From time to time, the ISACA Chapter or ISACA International will provide links to third-party web sites, or advertisements which contain links to third-party sites. For example, the ISACA Chapter may link to a third party who is assisting in or is providing online training services. These links are provided as a service to you. These sites are operated by independent entities that have their own privacy policies. The ISACA Chapter’s Privacy Policy does not apply to such other sites or to the use that those entities make of your information. The ISACA Chapter has no control over the content displayed on such sites, nor over the measures, if any, that are taken by such sites to protect the privacy of your information.
