Last updated: 20 July 2026
Information collected
The website may receive information entered into membership and contact forms, account identifiers, session and security information, and records created when protected functions are used.
How information is used
Information is used to review membership applications, manage accounts and permissions, respond to enquiries, operate protected resources, maintain security and support website administration.
Membership application data
Membership applications may include a name, email address, country, organisation, professional role, reason for applying and technical submission information. The administration reviews this information before approving or linking a member account.
Contact form data
Contact enquiries may include a name, email address, country, organisation, enquiry category, message and technical anti-abuse information. The information is used to review and respond to the enquiry.
Authentication and session data
The website processes account identifiers, securely hashed passwords, password-reset tokens, session records and related security information to support sign-in, account recovery and session protection. Raw passwords are not stored.
Protected material access data
Protected scientific materials are served only after account and permission checks. The system may record material access and security events for administration, troubleshooting and protection of restricted resources.
Data sharing
Information is made available within the authorised administrative workflow needed to operate FAGOS International. The website does not publish private membership applications, contact messages, passwords or protected access records as public content.
Data retention
Records are retained within the website database for operational, administrative and security purposes until they are reviewed, removed or otherwise managed by an authorised administrator in accordance with organisational requirements.
Security
The website uses access controls, server-side validation, password hashing, session protection, rate limiting and protected file routes. No online system can guarantee absolute security, and access remains limited according to account permissions.
Questions and contact
Privacy-related questions can be submitted through the Contact page. Include enough information for the team to understand and review the request.
