We respect your privacy

The Canadian Council on International Law is committed to protecting the privacy of its members and others who provide it with personal information.

What information is collected?

We collect certain personal information only as necessary in the course of our relationship with you. Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you other than business contact information. For example, when renewing your annual membership, registering for the Annual Conference or purchasing a publication, we collect personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone numbers and payment information. We also keep a record of your contact with the CCIL such as your history of transactions ( e.g. conferences attended, publications ordered, fees paid and donations given).

How this information is used?

Information you provide the Institute is used only to:

• deliver programs and services;
• process your membership renewals;
• register for the conference or speaker series;
• keep you informed of on-going activities of the Council and its partner organisations.

Under no circumstances will the Council rent or sell any of your information.

Safeguarding your information

Any personal information that you share with the Council is kept physically and electronically secure, with access limited to staff that require it to perform their jobs. Information is used only for the purpose for which it is collected.

In a very limited number of circumstances, we may disclose your information to third party service providers who help administer our relationship with you, in the normal course of business. For example, we need to disclose your financial information to our bank and Account Receivables manager in order to process your fees and payments for events and publications.

We only share the information that is necessary for the service provider to provide the Council with the service. Our service providers are also contractually bound to keep your information confidential, to safeguard your information, to limit their use of your information and to destroy your information when it is no longer required.

Consent, Withdrawing Consent, and Access to Information

The Council obtains the consent of its members and other stakeholders to use their information for the purposes it was collected. Based on this policy and the statements we make to you at the time we collect your information, we trust that you understand how we use your information and the limited circumstances in which it is shared with third parties.

If you would like to confirm or change any of our agreements for use of your personal information, please contact our Executive Director.
