Will OMFIF share my personal data with anyone else?

In certain circumstances, OMFIF may share your personal information with:

• OMFIF’s meeting or report partners, relating only to the specific meeting or report triggering the submission of your data.
• If you are registering for a meeting held within the premises of a central bank or other public sector institution, they may request the names of attendees for security purposes.  We will share these as required to ensure your safety.  Where we meet the request of such third parties, we ensure that the third party is obligated to processes the personal data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and our internal policies relating to the protection of Personal Data. 
• Where the relevant third party is outside the EEA, we would only transfer data where an appropriate safeguard such as EU model clauses or Privacy Shield certification exists between the entities. 
• We may pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to OMFIF in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to fulfil the service they provide you on our behalf[A1] . When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with OMFIF’s procedures. If we wish to pass your personal data onto a third party we will only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are legally required to do otherwise.

OMFIF will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary. OMFIF is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for income tax and audit purposes. How long certain kinds of personal data should be kept may also be governed by specific business-sector requirements and agreed practices. Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs.
