IEA Privacy Policy

Any information you submit through the web site of the International Epidemiological Association will be held in the strictest confidence. IEA will not sell, trade or rent your personal information to any third party. Your postal and email addresses will be used to keep you informed of IEA activities and to mail you both the International Journal of Epidemiology and other information which the Council feels may be of some interest to you.

A limited set of data will also be shared with Oxford University Press (OUP) to mail you the International Journal of Epidemiology and maintain subscription renewals. OUP will also receive your update information by direct email from which it will extract data relevant to sending you the Journal and collecting subscriptions. OUP will delete from its records any other data it receives via the updated form. OUP does not sell or distribute their abbreviated version of the membership list to other organizations, other than IEA itself.

IEA staff holds the full electronic membership list. Regional councilors may also hold a list of their region for purposes of communicating with members on regional matters, or the whole list for the unique purpose of promoting IEA regional or World congresses of epidemiology. The chair of the Nominating Committee may also hold the complete list for purposes of communication with members on nominations for election to Council. All holders of a partial or electronic list are under an obligation not to copy the copy the list to any commercial organization.
