Introduction

Welcome to Global Nursing AI Alliance (“GNAA”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://globalnursingaialliance.com, become a member, donate, or otherwise interact with us.

The Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

• Contact information: such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, if you provide them when contacting us or filling out forms.
• Membership, donation and payment data: such as billing name, billing address, payment method information (e.g., credit card or other payment details) when you join GNAA or donate.
• Professional information: if you join as a member, you may provide your professional role, employer/organization, country, interests, credentials.
• Website usage data: such as IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time and date of visit, referring site, navigation path, and other technical data collected automatically via cookies or similar technologies.
• Communications data: if you contact us via email, phone or other methods we record relevant details of that communication.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate and maintain our Site, membership services, donation processing, events, communications, and other programs.
• To process your membership application, renewals, donations and payments.
• To communicate with you, including sending updates, newsletters, member announcements, and marketing materials (where permitted).
• To personalise your experience on the Site, improve our services, and perform analysis to better understand how users interact with us.
• To ensure the security of our Site, detect fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Basis for Processing (if applicable)

If you are located in a jurisdiction (for example, the EU) where a legal basis is required, we rely on the following (as applicable):

• Your consent (when you explicitly agree)
• Performance of a contract (e.g., membership agreement)
• Legal obligation
• Legitimate interests (e.g., improving our services, protecting our organisation, marketing to existing members/donors) as long as such interests are not overridden by your rights.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on the Site and hold certain information. Cookies may be “first-party” or “third-party”. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Site.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal data in the following circumstances:

• With service providers and vendors who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, membership platform providers, email service providers) — they only have access to data needed to perform their services and must keep it confidential.
• With affiliates or partners (e.g., collaborative organisations, event co-hosts) where you have given permission or it is part of the service you signed up for.
• If required by law or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, to protect our rights, or to enforce our policies.
• In connection with a merger, reorganisation, sale of assets, or other business transfer, in which case your data may be part of the transferred assets (with notice where required).

International Data Transfers

As a global organization, GNAA may transfer your personal data to — and store it in — countries other than your country of residence. When we do so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal data and protect it from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no Internet transmission or storage system is entirely secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy (e.g., membership, donation history, maintaining communications) and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• To access the personal data we hold about you.
• To correct or update your data.
• To request deletion or restriction of processing of your data.
• To object to processing (including for direct marketing).
• To withdraw your consent at any time (if processing was based on consent).
• To lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 (or any higher age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you become aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such data.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. If you click a link to such a site, you are leaving our Site and this policy does not apply to the linked site. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in our discretion. We will post the revised policy on this page with the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after such changes means you accept the updated policy.
