Privacy Policy
International Keratoconus Society
This Privacy Policy explains how the International Keratoconus Society (“the Society”, “we”, “us”) handles personal information of members, delegates, speakers, and event participants.
By signing up for the International Keratoconus Society or attending its events, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Contact Information
Your contact details will be used to compile a delegate list. If you are a speaker, your presentation documents (e.g., cases posted for discussion) may be loaded to the International Keratoconus Society or the associated website, or provided to delegates to view after the event.
In addition, the Society will use your contacts to send you announcements and messages related to the events.
Should you not wish for your details to be used for these purposes, please contact the International Keratoconus Society.
2. Photography and Recording
By participating in International Keratoconus Society events, you irrevocably authorize and grant the Society the right to:
· Record you (picture and voice) on photographs, film, and/or videotape for audio and visual production (the “Recording”).
· Edit the Recording into a photo gallery, short film, or webinar (which may include other recordings and material).
· Use your name and likeness, voice, or additional information concerning you.
· Screen or place the Recording online (including on social media).
You hereby release the International Keratoconus Society from any infringement or violation of personal and/or property rights of any sort whatsoever based upon the Recording use.
You acknowledge that the International Keratoconus Society owns and shall own all rights, title, and interest (including copyright) in the Recording.
You acknowledge that the International Keratoconus Society is not obliged to use the Recording.
You warrant that you have full power to enter into this Release and that its terms do not conflict with any existing commitment on your part.
You understand you will receive no money for this Recording.
While under no obligation to do so, the International Keratoconus Society will consider any reasonable request not to use, or to stop using, a particular Recording. Such requests should be written to the International Keratoconus Society.
Should you not wish to grant the International Keratoconus Society these rights, please contact the event organizers at least two weeks before the event.
3. Recordings of Events and Webinars
All sessions and events conducted by the Society are recorded and/or streamed on YouTube.
If the recorded sessions are related to paid masterclasses or events, they will be uploaded only to the corresponding library so they are accessible to the relevant registrants. The recorded sessions will be available in the library until the Society announces a definite deletion date in advance.
4. Content Disclaimer
The International Keratoconus Society cannot control all content published or disseminated at its events. You may find other delegates’, speakers’, or participants’ communications, graphics, audio files, or additional information inappropriate, offensive, harmful, inaccurate, dishonest, misleading, and/or deceptive. You alone are solely responsible for your interaction with other delegates.
The International Keratoconus Society has the right to remove any comments, posters, or attachments that are inconsistent with this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions, infringe on the freedoms of others, or offend their beliefs.
5. Removing or Updating Your Information
If you wish to update, correct, or remove your personal information from the Society’s records, please contact us. Reasonable requests will be honored where doing so does not conflict with our legal obligations.
