The International College of Mohs Surgeons (“ICMS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly to ICMS, including:
- Name and contact information
- Country or region
- Professional title, affiliation, credentials, and specialty
- Membership and application information
- Event and webinar registrations
- Communications and marketing preferences
- Payment and transaction information
- Information you voluntarily provide through forms, surveys, emails, or other communications
We may also collect limited technical information when you use our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and website activity.
In some cases, we may obtain professional contact information from publicly available sources, professional organizations, event records, referrals, or business contacts.
How We Use Your Information
ICMS uses personal information only as reasonably necessary to:
- Administer membership and membership applications;
- Provide programs, events, webinars, and other ICMS services;
- Process payments and maintain financial records;
- Communicate with members, applicants, volunteers, partners, and other interested individuals;
- Send newsletters, organizational updates, and other communications;
- Operate and improve our website and services;
- Meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or security requirements.
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies, ICMS processes personal data based on one or more lawful bases, including performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, ICMS’s legitimate organizational interests, and your consent where consent is required.
Email Communications
You may unsubscribe from ICMS marketing or promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message.
ICMS will honor requests to stop receiving marketing communications in accordance with applicable law. Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent ICMS from sending necessary administrative or transactional communications related to your membership, registration, payment, or other relationship with ICMS.
Sharing Your Information
ICMS may share personal information with service providers that help us operate our organization, such as membership management systems, payment processors, website and hosting providers, email platforms, event and webinar platforms, and other administrative service providers.
These providers may use personal information only as necessary to provide services to ICMS or as otherwise permitted by law.
ICMS does not sell personal information.
International Data Transfers
ICMS is based in the United States and serves an international community. Personal information may therefore be processed or stored in the United States or other countries outside your country of residence.
Where GDPR or other applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, ICMS will use an appropriate legal mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or approved Standard Contractual Clauses.
How Long We Keep Information
ICMS retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate organizational and financial records, or to satisfy legal requirements.
Information used solely for marketing purposes will be retained until you unsubscribe or otherwise request that ICMS stop using it, subject to retaining limited information necessary to honor that request.
Cookies
The ICMS website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate the website.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, will not be used without your consent. You may change or withdraw your cookie preferences through the website’s cookie controls.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion or restriction of your information, object to certain processing, request transfer of your information, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may exercise these rights by contacting ICMS at info@icmohssurgery.org.
Individuals covered by the GDPR also have the right to submit a complaint to the data protection authority in the country where they live or work.
ICMS does not use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Data Security
ICMS uses reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
