Introduction

The Croatian Institute of Internal Auditors (CIIA) approaches the privacy of its members, suppliers, associates and other contacts with due care and undertakes to protect your personal data and comply with all legal regulations on data protection.

If you apply to be a member, register for courses or events, submit a request for confirmation of participation or otherwise submit your personal information to us through electronic forms, written requests, telephone, or e-mail, you agree that CIIA will use such information in in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

If we have received your data through a third party, for example through an event organization and reservation service provider or through cooperating professional associations, CIIA acts as a data processor and uses your data only for purposes directed by the third party.

Membership applications are accepted only from you as an individual, regardless of who fulfils the obligations of paying membership fees. CIIA will always act as data controller for all membership related data collected and processed.

The CIIA website occasionally contains links to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies and are likely to use cookies, so we encourage you to review them. We accept no responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third-party websites, and your use of such websites is at your own risk.

What information does HIIR have about me?

When you participate in or register for any of the HIIR services such as membership, conferences or other events, we may collect and store personal information about you.
