Privacy Policy

The International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) is committed to user privacy.

The policy on individual data protection in relation to the processing of personal data by Community institutions is based on Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons in relation to the processing of personal data by Union institutions, bodies, offices, and agencies, as well as on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC.

This general policy applies to the family of institutional websites hosted by the IAAM in the.org domain. Although you can visit most of these websites without providing any personal information, information is necessary in some situations in order to offer the e-services you seek. Websites that require this information treat it in accordance with the aforementioned regulation and give information about the use of your data in their specific privacy policy statements.
