from its users and how GMP uses it.
GMP will not disclose any personal information received from its users to third
parties. Should GMP in the future, for some reason or other, share any of its
users personal details with third parties, GMP will never do so without prior
explicit consent of the users. However, GMP may disclose user information when
the law requires it. Furthermore information from users is exchanged with the
WGA, the Glaucoma Society of which the user is a member, the WGA Meeting
Office (organizer of the WGC) and Kugler Publications (in charge of the IGR
website maintenance) for the purposes of providing you with various services
(this website, e-mailings with relevant information etc.)
Whenever GMP requires personal information from its users, such as name, e-mail
address, etc., for example when you register, GMP requires this information in
order to be able to carry out GMP’s various services to you.
Should users have to change any of its personal details (such as e-mail
address), GMP will always do its best to correct, update, or remove these
personal details. Any changes can be e-mailed to GMP at:
info@e-igr.com. However, users should also
notify the participating society(ies) of which he/she is a member in case of
address changes.
GEM (Glaucoma E-Mail)
Users can register to be placed on our GEM e-mailing list through the IGR
website (indicate in personal profile) GMP realizes how annoying it can be to
constantly receive e-mails, and therefore, it is our policy:
- to limit the number of the GEM emailings and related
e-mailings.
- to facilitate easy removal from GMP’s GEM e-mailing list; this
can be done either by unchecking the relevant option in the user’s personal
profile page, or by replying to one of the e-mails with "de-activate" or
"remove", etc. as subject.
- not to have scripts in our e-mails.
