What Personal Data We Collect And Why We Collect It

The International Institute of Time Management acknowledges that there are many potential definitions of “personal data.” Our definition of personal data is any information about an identified or identifiable person, which can include direct identifiers, such as name, address, email address, and national identification numbers, or indirect identifiers such as location data or IP address. This list of data elements is not exhaustive, and we consider the definition of personal data in the broadest possible context.

Time-Management.org collects and uses information that alone or in combination with other information, could be used to identify you (“personal data”) in order to deliver our programs and services and inform you of various resources related to higher education IT, as described in “How We Collect and Use Data” below. This data is collected in various online forms and throughout our business relationship.

We collect and use personal data to ensure we provide you with informative and timely information about news, services, community collaboration, and professional learning (Exclusive and Premium: Training, Courses, Masterclasses, Webinars) opportunities that advance higher education through information technologies.

The information we hold enables us to engage in basic communication with you, helps the International Institute of Time Management enhance your experiences on our website, and improves our programs and services and the efficacy of our communications with you. Time-Management.org and its service providers (such as event contractors) collect and use the following types of information.

Personal Information You Provide To Us In Your Profile And Other Engagements

• When you become a member or engage with time-management.org by creating a profile, we collect personal data about you, including (but not limited to) your name, title, employer’s name, work address, email address, phone number, and demographics such as a number of years in higher education and professional interests. We ask you to voluntarily provide additional information related to age, gender, ethnicity, and other demographics, which is used to help us better understand and better advance the diversity of our community. You may edit your profile at any time to change or remove personal data, or you may choose to cancel your profile.
• We process your personal data for member and nonmember administration, to deliver member benefits to you, and to inform you of time-management.org -related events, content, and other benefits or opportunities related to higher education IT. time-management.org may also use this information to help us understand our members’ needs and interests to better tailor our programs and services.
• We may use your information to personalize your experience through recommendations on our website or in email, apps, or other service platforms to provide you with more relevant information.
• We may use your information to reply to communications you send us.
• We may use your basic personal data from your profile to automatically fill out transactional forms with your personal data to save you time and effort.
• We use your information to communicate essential information about transactions, such as an electronic receipt for a purchase or a confirmation of conference registration.
• We may inform you about our events, programs, and services of potential interest unless you have opted out of such communications (see “Communications” below).
• We retain information about your transactional history and engagements, such as participation in events, webinars, volunteering, presenting at conferences, and publication downloads to understand program and service use.
• You may opt out of these communications and benefits at any time by unsubscribing from email and/or contacting us to remove your profile.
• If you volunteer for a working group or committee, your name, title, organization name, and optional photo may be placed on the committee’s web page and materials produced by the group. You may request to be excluded from these listings.
• If you voluntarily participate in our survey, interview, or focus group to research a matter related to higher education IT or to gauge your satisfaction with our services, the information you provide is used in aggregate, unless otherwise noted, when producing research findings and reports, and to inform improvements to our programs and services.

Publications And Resource Use

• We do produce various publications, reports, and educational materials, which are linked to our website. Much of our content is open access, however, some material might require membership or a profile login for access. We use Google Analytics and login information to track how often people gain access to or read our content. This information is used in aggregate to help us understand what content is most useful for our members.

In-Person Events And Web Conferences

• Time-Management.org hosts many professional learning events throughout the year (Premium Courses, Webinars, Training). These include in-person conferences, training, and coaching like, as well as live online training, certifications (collectively referred to as “events”). If you register for one of our events, a web profile is required (regardless of your membership status), and we will access this data to provide you with information and services associated with the event. In addition, during the registration process, we collect voluntarily shared personal data regarding accessibility and dietary requests.
• If you are a presenter at one of our events, we will collect information about you including your name, employer, and contact information. We may also collect information provided by event attendees who evaluated your presentation and associate it with your record in our database. In certain instances and with your approval, we will make and store a recording of your voice and likeness.
• If you submit a proposal to present at our event, we will collect information about you and your co-presenters (if relevant) including name, employer, contact information, proposed abstract, and other information associated with your proposed session.
• If you evaluate proposals for our E event, we will collect information about you including your name, employer, contact information, and your evaluations of the assigned proposals.
• If you are a participant at particular events of ours (e.g., webinar or pre-conference workshop) we may share basic registration information, name, title, and institution name, with the designated presenter(s) for the purpose of planning for the event and tailoring the presentation to the group.
• We keep a record of your participation in our events as an attendee or presenter, which may be used to provide you with information about other relevant products and services or to help us better understand your interests and tailor our offerings to meet your needs.
• In association with attending particular conferences of ours, you will have the option to download our Conference and Events mobile app to help you navigate the conference and plan your schedule. The mobile app may require the device identifier associated with your device but does not require the collection or use of any other personal data—outside of what you choose to provide as part of your participant profile.
• As a participant, to facilitate networking with colleagues, we include your name, title, and organization in the event registration list, unless you opt-out of sharing this in the registration process. This list is only accessible by registered participants.
• Some of our events (Effective, Exclusive Premium Courses) could be sponsored. We may share your name and postal mail address with corporate participants of conferences you have registered to attend unless you have opted out of corporate participant communications in the registration process.
• We may provide you with a “lead retrieval card” at certain time-management.org and affiliate conferences that contain your basic personal information. This card allows you to pass on this information to exhibitors from whom you would like to receive more information. By allowing a conference exhibitor to swipe that card, you give the exhibitor your name and contact information, including your email address.
• For some events, we may use wearable beacons. Beacons placed on participant badges help us refine our events and make future programming improvements by allowing us to observe how participants move around the meeting space and participate in select activities. A beacon ID number is associated with your participant information. time-management.org and our beacon vendor have access to this information. Aggregate data is shared with time-management.org staff for planning purposes and with corporate partners/sponsors to see traffic patterns on the exhibit floor (individual data is not shared). Beacons are not mandatory; attendees are asked to opt-in to our beacon program during the event registration process.

Do our plugins track any data?

We do not track any user data via our plugins. But if our plugin depends on any third-party service, they might track user data. This can happen in the following two ways:
1. Embedded Widgets
Some of our plugins have features to integrate embedded widgets as is, from third-party services (like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google).
2. Third-party APIs/Connections
Our plugins send requests to third-party APIs via website visitor’s web browsers to fetch information (like social shares, social comment count). This request made by a web browser may include an IP address, which can then be seen by the third party that it’s being requested from. This API request doesn’t include any personal data of the website user other than the IP address. The Examples of that are Social Login Plugins.
