In some cases, we may share your personal information with third parties to assist us in providing our services. If you are unwilling to provide your personal information and have it shared with third parties as described in this privacy policy, you may not be able to use our services.  

Basis for processing

In most cases, we process your data based on your consent or because this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you. Although consent is not mandatory, if you do not allow us to process your personal data, it may limit your access to certain services.  

Third party websites

Our websites may contain links to third party websites that are not operated by IACA. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of these websites to understand how your data is handled.  

Collection of Personal Data 

When you register for a course or contact us, you will be asked to provide personal data. We also collect data about how you interact with our services. In addition, we may obtain information about you from our business partners or other third parties.

Automatic data collection
