How the International Union for Certification and Benchmarking (IUCB) uses the information you give it through this site.

What we collect and why
- Application forms: the details and documents needed to assess the application and, if it is approved, to issue the certificate.
- The contact form: your name, email address, organisation if you give one, and your message, so that we can reply.
- The advisory board application: your profile. An admin may choose to show your name, photo, role, organisation, area of expertise, years of experience, biography and country on the advisory board page.
What is public
Only a certificate's record, to anyone who has its number or QR code. The record shows what the certificate prints and its status today. For a person, it shows the country only, not an address. There is no public list of certificate holders, and no contact details are shown.
Personal links
We may email you a link to reply to a request for information or to withdraw your application. The link is personal to you; please do not forward it.
Cookies
The public site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or third-party trackers. The admin area, used by IUCB staff only, sets cookies to keep staff signed in and to protect their requests.
How long we keep it
Documents sent with an application are kept while they are needed for the application and its certificate, then archived and deleted. A record that is deleted from the platform is hidden, and kept for audit.
