Collection of personal information

events at their location. Personal information can include, but not limited to full name or school

surveys or feedback that we may invite you to participate in, other communications with IGC,
etc.
We also use Google Analytics to collect information about how people use our website. We do
this to make sure it meets its users’ needs and to understand how we could do it better.
Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site,
how you got there and what you click on. We do not collect or store your personal information
(e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. We do
not allow Google to use or share our analytics data.
Usage of personal information
With regard to registering as a Role Model or a School, we will process your personal data on
the basis of your consent and/or our legitimate interests (which include (i) matching Role Models
with Schools to ensure the success of our events; (ii) enabling relevant stakeholders to engage
with, evaluate, promote and help grow IGC; (iii) the administration, improvement and promotion
of IGC and our website; (iv) management of relationships with our Role Models, Schools,
donors and other supporters; and (v) for compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations).
Where the processing of your personal information is based on your consent, and not any other
legal basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This withdrawal of your
consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to the withdrawal.
We will store your personal data for the duration of your involvement with us and for a
reasonable period afterwards. We make every reasonable effort to prevent the loss or
inappropriate use of the personal information in our possession.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, nor any means of electronic storage, is
100% secure. We therefore cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit or provide to us, and you do so at your own risk. Nor can we guarantee that such
information will not be accessed, obtained, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a
breach of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards. If you have reason to believe
that your personal information has been compromised, please contact us at canada@inspiring-

Volunteer to be a Role Model
By registering with us as a Role Model, we may share your personal information with third
parties who are also registered with us in connection with our mission (i.e. schools and related
organisations) to match you with the appropriate speaking or other similar opportunities.
We may provide data relating to your participation (“Volunteer Participation Data”) to national
and global partners of Inspiring Girls International and other selected parties who carry out work
within the education sector and have an active interest solely so that they can monitor
participation and success of IGC.
The Volunteer Participation Data may include your country and city of residence, your age, the
job details that you have provided, the languages you speak, numbers of messages and details
of any events that you have participated as an IGC Role Model, the number of hours you have
contributed and any feedback that you have provided. You will not be identified by name in the
Volunteer Participation Data; however, it may be possible for a third party to identify you as a
result of the information that is disclosed (for example, job title and employer details).
Except as outlined above or as otherwise required or permitted by law, we do not disclose
information about identifiable individuals to third parties without the relevant individual’s consent.
However, we may provide third parties with anonymized aggregate information about our users
for monitoring participation in and the success of any campaign activities by IGC, or for research
with the purpose of improving our service as a hub for Role Models and Schools or similar
institutions who wish to participate in IGC’s activities.
Schools and other educational providers
If you register with us as a teacher, principal or governor on behalf of a school or other
education provider for IGC, we may share some of your personal information (i.e. your name
and the name and location of your school) with third-parties who are also registered with us in
connection with IGC (i.e. volunteers, employers and professional bodies) in order to introduce
you to potential speakers or other volunteers. We will not share your personal contact details, as
all contact will be initiated through IGC’s database.
We may provide employers and professional bodies involved in with IGC with the name and
location of the school, college or similar institution registered for IGC, so that they can identify
potential partnerships. We may also provide employers and professional bodies with other data
relating to the School’s participation in IGC programs (“School Participation Data”) for the same
purpose.
The School Participation Data may include your School’s name, address and numbers of
messages and details of any events that the school has participated in through the IGC
program, the number of hours that have been requested/used and any feedback that the
school/teacher has provided to IGC. The School Participation Data will not include any contact
information relating to the individual teacher that has registered for IGC on behalf of the school,
college or similar educational institution.
We may also provide the School Participation Data to funders of IGC and other selected parties
who carry out work within the education sector and have an active interest in IGC. This may
include the School’s local Council, School Boards and relevant government departments, solely
so that they can monitor participation in and the success of IGC. We may provide a participating
school or similar educational institution with the School Participation Data and the names of any
of their staff who have registered to IGC.
