Privacy Statement: The International Amateur Radio Union (“IARU”) is the global voice of amateur radio, representing the interest of radio amateurs in over 160 national amateur radio societies around the world.
This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use this website or another IARU website or when you interact with us by email, post or other means.
What information do we collect about you? If you make contact with IARU on any matter, we may retain a record of that contact. In most cases this will be your name and email address.
Website usage information is collected using cookies, and is used to improve your browsing experience and for statistical analysis of website usage.
How will we use the information about you? We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website. We will not pass your information outside of IARU unless you specifically request us or give us permission to do so. If you are working in a voluntary capacity for IARU, we will use personal information such as email address, physical address and telephone number(s) to maintain contact with you and so allow you to be effective in your voluntary work with us.
If you are an official of one of IARU’s national member societies we may list your contact details on the “Member Society” pages of our website. The provision of your data to us by your own member society is taken as your consent for us to display this data, but we will attempt to confirm with you that you do not object. If you wish that data to be removed at any time, you should contact the Data Controller, whose details are at the end of this privacy statement.
Collection of access data and log files: We (respectively we and our web hosting provider) collect(s) data on every access to the server (so-called server log files). The server log files can include the address and name of the websites and files accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and generally IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files may be used on the one hand for security purposes, e.g. to avoid overloading the server (in particular in the event of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and on the other hand to ensure the optimum utilisation of the servers and their stability.
Access to your information and correction: You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please contact the data controller named below. We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.
