VIRTUAL EVENT FACILITIES
We aim to assess any possible risks for users from third parties when using our virtual event facilities and how to moderate those risks. However, we are under no obligation and do not oversee, monitor or moderate any virtual events that occur. We therefore exclude our liability (which we can lawfully exclude) for any loss or damage arising from your use of our virtual event facilities. Where we do moderate a virtual event, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, if a concern or difficulty arises.
The use of our virtual event services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who allow their children to use our virtual event services that it is important they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof.

  • Violent or sexually explicit.
  • Unlawful. 
  • Misleading.

WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT AND WHY?
We are aware that you trust us with your sensitive personal data. Where we hold this data about you, we will only use it for the reasons set out on this page, as part of our legitimate activities as a not-for-profit organisation for our community.

  1. When you register. When you register with us, we collect your name, date of birth and contact details. We collect these details because we need them to provide you with information or otherwise contact you as a member of our community.
     
  2. When you attend one of our events. When you attend one of our events, we will usually collect your name, address, email address and phone number. We collect this information where we have your consent or because it is in our legitimate interests to know who is attending our events. If you provide us with your dietary information for a catered event, then we handle this information on the basis of it being in your vital interests, to ensure we can cater for any allergies you have.

    Where you attend one of our events we may take pictures or videos of you, either in groups or individually. We may use these in materials produced by us, or otherwise to demonstrate, review, promote or improve our programs, events and activities. We do this as we have a legitimate interest to promote our activities and events. You can opt out of having your photo taken in this way both when you attend our events and at any time by contacting the relevant event organisers.

    We may also use your details to contact you to complete surveys that we use for research and evaluation purposes and to provide you with information about future events, services or programmes which may be of interest to you and we may contact you about these by post, telephone, email, SMS or push notification.
     
  3. When you contact us or we contact you. When you contact us, we will usually collect your name and contact details, because it is in our legitimate interest to make sure we can properly respond to your query. As a member of our community, you may choose to provide us with further personal data (which may include sensitive personal data, such as health data) so that we and institutions affiliated with the Ismaili Imamat can provide you and the wider community with support and assistance.
     
  4. When you receive our updates. We will handle your personal information (such as your name and email address) to provide you with important news and community updates.

    We will send you news updates when you register for IIUK membership. We do this under our legitimate interest to provide you with updates and information about our community.

    You can unsubscribe from our updates at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails, by emailing iiukadmin@iiuk.org or by logging into iiuk.org and updating your subscriptions.

  1. If we have your consent, we share your information with institutions affiliated with the Ismaili Imamat, so they can contact you regarding future events, initiatives and updates.
  2. We may share your dietary information with additional catering providers who we partner with at our events. Where we have not requested your explicit consent we will share this information in order to protect your vital interests. 
  3. If we have taken photographs or videos of you at one of our events and you have not opted out, we may share these on social media and in our other promotional materials as we have a legitimate interest to promote our organisation, events and activities. You can opt-out of this at any time by contacting the relevant event organisers, but please keep in mind that it is not always possible to remove your photograph or videos from materials that have already been printed, shared or published.
  4. We may share personal information with other organisations, such as the Aga Khan Development Network and National Councils for other jurisdictions, who use this information to analyse our programmes and Jamati statistics, as well as in connection with delivery of the events and programmes that you have applied or registered for. 


WHERE IS MY DATA STORED?
We store your data in the UK. 
 
WHERE IS MY DATA TRANSFERED?

[We may transfer your personal information to outside of the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the UK, we ensure it receives additional protection as required by law. To keep this privacy policy as short and easy to understand as possible, we haven’t set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us at iiukadmin@iiuk.org for more detail on this.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA FOR?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as we need it. For the majority of our members, joining the community is a life long affiliation, so we have purposefully left this section brief. However, if you would like further information please do contact us at iiukadmin@iiuk.org.
