Should WGA in the future, for some reason or other, share any of its users personal details with third parties, WGA will never do so without prior explicit consent of the users. However, WGA 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 WGA requires personal information from its users, such as name, e-mail address, etc., for example when you register, WGA requires this information in order to be able to carry out WGA's various services to you.

Should users have to change any of its personal details (such as e-mail address), WGA will always do its best to correct, update, or remove these personal details.

GEM (Glaucoma E-Mail)

Users can register to be placed on our GEM e-mailing list through the IGR website (indicate in personal profile) WGA realizes how annoying it can be to constantly receive e-mails, and therefore, it is our policy:

  1. to limit the number of the GEM emailings and related e-mailings.
  2. to facilitate easy removal from WGA'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.
  3. not to have scripts in our e-mails.
