Privacy Policy

​

The International Organization of Local Governments (IOLG) is committed to protecting the privacy, security, and personal data of all its members, participants, and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how IOLG collects, uses, stores, and safeguards the information shared through its website, membership programs, and events.

IOLG collects personal information such as names, email addresses, contact details, and country of residence during membership registration or event sign-up. This information is used solely for administrative purposes, including communication, certification, and program delivery. Members may also provide optional demographic or professional details to help IOLG improve its programs and engagement strategies.

All personal information is stored securely and accessed only by authorized staff for operational purposes. IOLG does not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. In some cases, limited data may be shared with trusted service providers (such as payment processors or communication platforms) to facilitate secure transactions and program communication.

Members have the right to access, update, or request deletion of their personal information by contacting IOLG directly. Any request will be processed within a reasonable timeframe. IOLG complies with international data protection standards and ensures that all data is managed ethically and responsibly.

By registering, subscribing, or participating in IOLG programs, members acknowledge and consent to the collection and responsible use of their information as described in this policy. IOLG may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect organizational or legal changes. All updates will be posted publicly, and continued participation constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

The International Organization of Local Governments remains fully dedicated to transparency, confidentiality, and respect for every individual’s right to data privacy.
