IAHIP is committed to data protection best practice as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This section provides information on a range of data protection aspects including:
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25th May 2018. It is an EU regulation which seeks to create a common data protection framework across all EU states. At its core, GDPR seeks to protect the rights of consumers and ensure companies are fair and transparent in how they use consumers’ data.
The organisation, through its data protection officer, committees and Governing Body has undertaken substantial work to ensure that as an institution we adhere to data protection best practice.
What GDPR means for you
GDPR means you as a consumer have more control over your personal data – how it is obtained and processed; as well as providing a range of rights that cover aspects such as accessing and amending your data.
How we process your data as a member/associate of IAHIP.

In case of a data breach
Please notify the organisation’s Data Protection Officer at dpo@iahip.org as soon as you identify a potential data breach. As required under GDPR, IAHIP will then identify the nature of the breach and notify the Data Protection Commissioner as and where applicable.
