As an IB approved school, you and/or your attendees will be aware that Ibicus is required to collate and pass on information in relation to you and/or your attendees to the IB not least in relation to attending and getting a certificate of attendance at the event. In addition, Ibicus may need to provide some of that personal information to the host school of an event, to tax authorities, and to process and use that information for its own internal accounting and administrative functions.  Your personal data may have to be disclosed if we are required to disclose it by law or as a result of a lawful request by a government or law enforcement authority.

By entering into this Agreement, you and/or your attendees confirm to Ibicus that the personal data you and/or your attendees have voluntarily provided or will provide to Ibicus is correct. You and/or your attendees consent to Ibicus processing the following data for the purposes set out in the paragraph above and for workshop registration purposes, as detailed below, and understand that Ibicus may make such information available to third party processors, typically workshop leaders, host schools and the IB, in countries where an adequate level of protection for the personal data cannot be guaranteed. The personal data may include: given name, initials or middle names, family name, e-mail addresses, contact details, passport information, photographs, tracking of all actions in the online registration or agreement.

For the purposes of administrating a workshop, we do need to contact you and your attendees via email to pass on venue, timetable and other information. By agreeing to our terms you agree that IBICUS may contact you for this purpose.

We may also contact you via email to tell you about post-workshop supplementary informatio as well as future workshops which may be interest to you and/or your colleagues.  All such mailings will have a link to help you unsubscribe if you wish to stop this.

Copyright, Photography and Audiovisual and other Recording

Ibicus occasionally makes a photographic, digital, video or film record of its workshops or events on the basis that such records are only ever used for Ibicus’ legitimate business purposes.

So everyone who attends an Ibicus event may have their photograph taken or be recorded during the event and these photographs or recordings may be used by Ibicus in promotional material or as website images, unless an individual gives us written notice before the event of their wish not to be photographed or recorded. By entering into this agreement, you and your participants agree that you/she/he may be included in any such recording and your/his/her photograph used as described above.

At no time will the identity of the person in a photograph be available without the prior consent of that individual.

Quite often, people ask us for copies of the photographs as souvenirs of their time with us and we are happy to provide them. However, should you or any participant nominated by you be of the view that any such recording or image of you/them is being used by Ibicus in a manner which you/they feel is inappropriate or objectionable, you/they may request Ibicus to cease to use that image in such a manner.

Each party irrevocably agrees that the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising from or in connection with this agreement (including both contractual and non-contractual disputes or claims) and waives any objection to proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that proceedings have been brought in an inappropriate forum.
