Privacy policy

The International Working Group on Women and Sport (referred to in this Privacy Notice as “we”, “our”, “us”, IWG Women & Sport or IWG) is committed to ensuring that personal information is held fairly, lawfully and securely in accordance with data protection laws. Your privacy is important to us, so we have developed and implemented this Privacy Notice that governs how we collect, store, use and disclose personal information. By using the Site or agreeing to accept products or services from us, you consent to our use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice (as amended from time to time). This Privacy Notice is governed by the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”).

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer to oversee our compliance with data protection laws as we are not required to do so, but the IWG Secretariat Team has overall responsibility for data protection compliance for the IWG.
