The International Suspected Perioperative Reactions Group (ISPAR) respects your privacy. This notice explains what personal information we collect through this website, why we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you.
This website provides professional information for clinicians, researchers, and other people interested in perioperative allergy. It does not provide individual medical advice or emergency services.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact ISPAR through the website, we may collect:
- your first name;
- your email address;
- your specialty;
- your hospital or institution; and
- the information included in your message.
Please do not submit confidential patient information, medical records, or information that directly identifies a patient.
The membership area is not currently available. This notice will be updated before membership registration or member accounts are launched.
Technical information
When you visit the website, our website and hosting systems may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver, secure, and maintain the service. This may include your Internet Protocol address, browser and device information, requested pages, dates and times of access, and security or error logs.
How we use personal information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and direct them to an appropriate ISPAR contact;
- communicate about meetings, publications, resources, research collaboration, or website corrections;
- operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website;
- prevent misuse, spam, or other harmful activity;
- maintain appropriate records of correspondence; and
- meet applicable legal, regulatory, or professional obligations.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we process personal information with your consent, to pursue legitimate organizational interests, or to comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information and do not use contact-form submissions for third-party advertising.
Sharing personal information
We may share personal information only when reasonably necessary with:
- ISPAR officers, committee members, administrators, or professional collaborators responsible for responding to an enquiry;
- service providers that support website hosting, maintenance, security, email, or form delivery, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection requirements; and
- public authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the security of the website.
ISPAR is an international professional group. Personal information may therefore be accessed or processed in countries other than the country where it was submitted. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards apply.
Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to an enquiry, maintaining appropriate organizational records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or regulatory requirements. Information that is no longer required is deleted, anonymized, or securely archived in accordance with our operational requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for core functions, security, forms, and website administration. If optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential technologies are introduced, this notice and any consent controls will be updated before those technologies are enabled.
You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may affect some website functions.
Security
We use reasonable organizational and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No internet service or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion or restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
- raise a concern with an appropriate data-protection authority.
