What do you do with personal information?

Your personal information is only collected when voluntarily submitted by you.

The information you provide on the application form will be used to process and administer your membership of XBHR. Your name, address, and contact details will be included in the XBHR members’ directory, accessible by other members via the XBHR website.

As a result, you may receive emails from (and will be able to send emails to) other members on relevant cross-border human resource matters, either individually or as part of a group or subgroup mailing. Rules apply to all members using the member directory and mailout facilities, and access may be withdrawn if abused.

Members of XBHR are situated all over the world. Your details will be available to all members, which means your personal information may be passed to members in countries that do not have the same level of protection as the European Union.

XBHR may use your personal information to send you information about XBHR events and other topics you may have requested. Occasionally, we may notify you about important changes to the site or new information/services we think may be valuable to you as a cross-border HR professional.

Please tick the opt-out box on the application form if you do not wish to consent to your personal information being used as described above. Alternatively, you may notify us by sending an email to admin@xbhr.com.

If you have any questions about how XBHR uses your personal information, please contact the Administrator at the above email address.
