Certain personal information is required to create the account, and is stored in your profile: title / position, first name, last name, email, password, nationality, country of employment and institution.You can also enter additional (optional) information: date of birth, invoice address, VAT number, department, fields of interest, other interests and biography.
Your personal information is stored for various purposes:
- Your personal EARLI account allows you to keep track of your membership history, conference participation and order history. It is a way of creating transparency for each EARLI member about their EARLI history.
- Your e-mail address is used to confirm any action you undertake in the conference tool: submission and order confirmation e-mails, invoices, payment reminders and the like are sent to your e-mail address automatically.
- Your contact details are used for communication. When you join EARLI as a member, one of the membership benefits entails that you are informed about EARLI activities, job opportunities, calls and special announcements. You can unsubscribe from our e-mails at any point, by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the e-mail.
