PRIVACY NOTICE

This Privacy Notice describes how your personal data is processed (collected,
stored, used, shared, analysed, etc.) by IMD - International Institute for
Management Development, its affiliates and representations in Switzerland and in
the world (hereafter referred to as “IMD” or “we” or “us”). It concerns any
personal data collected in electronic format through IMD’s websites and other
online channels (hereafter referred to as Online Platforms), as well as in
hardcopy format and through verbal communication.  

By using our Online Platforms, you agree with this Privacy Notice and the
processing of personal information described herein. If you do not agree please
refrain from accessing our Online Platforms.

This Privacy Notice is dated May 31, 2018. It may be updated from time to time,
in which case we will post here the updated version or alert you directly.


DEFINITION

Personal data means any information or set of information that identifies or
could be used by or on behalf of IMD to identify an individual or a legal
entity.


WHAT DATA WE COLLECT

Information we collect automatically during your usage of our Online Platforms

We collect different type of personal data about your interaction with our
Online Platforms, such as which pages you visit. We collect data such as data
related to your device (e.g. your hardware model, operating system version or
unique device identifier) or log information (information automatically
collected when you browse our Online Platforms in server logs including your
internet protocol address and device and event information, which can include
crashes, system activity, browser type, browser language as well as date and
time of your browsing activities).

Information you actively provide to us

Providing us your personal data through our Online Platforms enables you to
create your personal account (MyIMD), request information, sign up to receive
newsletters, research outputs and similar e-mails (subscriptions), apply for
programs, participate in surveys and access various IMD services including the
alumni directory. Such data is provided at your own will and thus with your
consent. From time to time we may ask you to provide additional details to
ensure that our content corresponds to your interests and requirements in order
that you are able to benefit from the full potential of our offering. We retain
this information only for a period necessary to either fulfil a legal or
contractual obligation or for a justified business purpose.


WHY DO WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA (PURPOSE OF PROCESSING)

We process your personal data for the below purposes. For purposes highlighted
in blue colour, we don’t process your data without you creating a MyIMD Account
and providing your consent. The MyIMD Account enables you to self-manage the
data you share and we process.





SHARING OF DATA

Under limited circumstances, we may disclose and share some of your data with
third-parties. For instance, your personal data may be shared with:

 * Subcontractors, which support IMD in performing its services;
 * Any third-party, to which we are ordered or obliged to disclose such
   information because of a court order, governmental authority and/or by law;
 * Any relevant entity for emergency purposes that compel such disclosure.

We will not share, sell or in any other way transmit your data to any
third-party for commercial purposes without your permission. However, we may
share non-personally identifiable data with third-party providers to allow for
continuous improvement of our online services and learning experience. An
example can be Google Analytics, which allows us through customized reports to
understand web traffic trends, user behaviour, and similar benchmarks. All such
third-parties are prohibited from using or sharing further such data for any
other purpose than to provide us with information which permits us to
continuously optimize our online services and experience.

Finally, we want to advise you that, when using our Online Platforms, some
third-parties can still collect or access some of your data without IMD knowing
and being able to prevent them from doing so. These can include cookies, web
beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from our
Online Platforms and elsewhere on the internet. These third parties use this
information to provide measurement services and target ads.


DATA STORAGE LOCATION

IMD takes the necessary steps to ensure that the information collected under
this Privacy Notice is processed according to the provisions of this Privacy
Notice and the requirements of applicable laws. Your personal information is
stored primarily in Switzerland and/or the EU/EEA. For limited program delivery
purposes your personal data may be stored outside Switzerland and/or the EU/EEA,
in which case IMD shall make every effort to ensure that such information is
processed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and IMD policies.


STORAGE DURATION

The personal data you actively shared with us will be stored for as long as
required for the business purposes for which such data have been collected.
Thereafter, we may retain your information if the law requires us to do so or
until the expiry of the statute of limitations.


COOKIES AND ONLINE PRIVACY

Our Online Platforms store cookies on your computer (cookies explained here:
http://www.allaboutcookies.org/), unless you disable this functionality in your
browser. They typically contain your preferences based on your previous visits,
and are used to optimize your future visits and facilitate the login process.
They also serve as input into the aggregation of data about site traffic and
interaction in order that IMD can offer better online services and customer
experience. You can configure your browser to disable cookies, however, certain
online interactions may be negatively affected by such a configuration. In any
case, most browsers provide the option to configure notification when you
receive a cookie and thereby allow you to decide whether to accept it. For more
information about cookies please review our Cookies Policy.


Our Online Platforms may also contain links to other sites, hence we actively
encourage you to consult their Privacy Notices given IMD has no control over
these.


SECURITY, INTERNET SECURITY AND INTEGRITY

We take reasonable precautions to protect personal data in our possession from
loss and misuse as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and
destruction. We grant personal data access only to IMD employees and
subcontractors who require access to this information. We also maintain
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable laws
to safeguard personal data.

At IMD we make every effort to follow industry standard security. However, no
data transmitted through the internet and/or stored on servers is 100% secure.
As a result, we are unable to guarantee that any personal data covered by this
Privacy Notice will be entirely secure.


ACCESS AND ABILITY TO CORRECT PERSONAL DATA

You may access, amend, correct or update any personal data, unsubscribe from
mailing lists, terminate other data exchange or exercise your additional rights
which includes objecting to our processing or your data. You are able to do this
by following the instructions or utilizing the functionality on relevant pages
of the Online Platforms or sending us an email to privacy@imd.org. We will act
in accordance with your request within 30 days of its receipt. Please be advised
that your personal data may remain available in paper documents generated prior
to your request and in our back-ups systems, which will be inaccessible to IMD
staff for any business or operational purposes.

You are entitled to lodge a complaint with respect to our processing of your
personal data with the relevant supervisory authority. If you are a resident of
Switzerland the complaint can be lodged at the following address: Swiss Federal
Data Protection and Information Commissioner, Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Berne,
Switzerland. For more information please visit www.edoeb.admin.ch. If you are a
resident of a country of the European Economic Area, the complaint can be lodged
with the data protection authority of your country.


GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Notice is subject to Swiss law, at the exclusion of its Private
International Law Statute. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Privacy
Notice shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of
Lausanne.
