Privacy Policy

Commitment to Your Privacy

Last Updated: May 2026

1. Introduction

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information for the 2026 Asia-Pacific Conference on Population Ageing website.

2. Registration Data & Data Sharing

We collect your name, email, affiliation, dietary preferences, and passport details to manage your participation and logistics.

  • Data Transfer: As the Conference Secretariat, we collect this information on behalf of HelpAge International (the "Host"). Upon completion of the event, your registration data will be securely transferred to the Host for official record-keeping and reporting.
  • Retention: The Secretariat retains your data for one year. The Host will retain the data according to their institutional policies; specific contact details for the Host's data controller will be provided in the final conference report.

3. Cookies & LinkedIn Tracking

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track the effectiveness of our advertising.

  • How it works: This tag places a cookie in your browser to collect metadata (such as IP address and page views). This allows us to see how visitors interact with our site after seeing a LinkedIn ad.
  • Privacy: LinkedIn provides us with aggregated reports; we do not see your individual personal identity through this tool. You can manage your preferences via your LinkedIn account settings.

4. Informational External Links

For your convenience, our website provides links to third-party sites (e.g., official visa information or conference venue websites). We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies when you visit them.

5. Your Rights & Data Security

We adhere to GDPR principles to ensure your data is handled lawfully and transparently. We use secure, encrypted methods for storing and transferring data to prevent unauthorised access. You have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us.
