This Statement of Privacy applies to the ILFA site (ilfa.ie) and governs data collection and usage. By using ILFA’s website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
ILFA collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number for the purposes of registering your details as a member of ILFA or a contact person from a partner organisation of ILFA , or as a participant/registrant for an event organised by ILFA. Except to the extent required in some circumstances e.g. emergency contact data for exercise classes, ILFA does not request any other personal information.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by ILFA. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of ILFA’s Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through any ILFA public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: ILFA does not read any of your private online communications.
ILFA encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to through ILFA’s site so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. ILFA is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of ILFA’s.
Use of your Personal Information
ILFA collects and uses your personal information to operate ILFA’s site (ilfa.ie) and deliver the services you have requested. ILFA also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from ILFA through its main website or affiliate websites. ILFA may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of the sector, current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
ILFA does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. ILFA may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, ILFA may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except in their provision of these services to ILFA, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
ILFA keeps track of the Web sites and pages visited within our website in order to determine what services are most frequently used. These results are used to deliver customized content and promotion within ILFA to those whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
ILFA’s Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ILFA or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ILFA; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of ILFA, or the public.
Use of Cookies
ILFA’s Web site uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize ILFA pages, or register with ILFA’s site or services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of ILFA’s services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
ILFA takes all reasonable steps to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure and secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

If you wish to update or remove information previously provided to ILFA or wish to no longer be contacted by us please advise us of this by emailing info@ilfa.ie with details of your specific request or phone us on +353 (0)1 5922501 and your request will be actioned.
