Privacy Policy

The Institution of Engineers Papua New Guinea (IEPNG) is committed to protecting the privacy of its members, applicants, employers, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

By using this website or submitting information to IEPNG, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

1Information We Collect

IEPNG may collect the following types of personal information:

• Contact details such as name, title, postal and email address, and phone number
• Membership information, including membership class, registration status, and dates of commencement and expiry
• Professional and academic details submitted as part of a membership or registration application
• Information you provide when contacting us, subscribing to updates, or submitting forms through this website
• General website usage information collected automatically, such as browser type and pages visited

2How We Use Your Information

IEPNG uses personal information to:

• Process and manage membership applications, renewals, and professional registration
• Administer the Graduate Professional Development Program (GPDP), Continuing Professional Development activities, and other member services
• Communicate with members and applicants about their membership, events, and IEPNG activities
• Maintain statutory records required under the Professional Engineers Registration Act
• Respond to enquiries submitted through this website
• Improve the content and functionality of this website

3Membership Directory & Talent Hub

As part of its member services, IEPNG may publish a member's name and membership class (for example, Fellow, Member, Graduate Member, or Technician) within areas of this website such as the Membership Directory and Talent Hub, to support professional recognition and connect members with employment opportunities.

IEPNG does not publish members' contact details, gender, nationality status, or other sensitive information on public pages of this website. Where an employer wishes to contact a listed engineer, this is facilitated through IEPNG rather than by publishing personal contact information directly.

4Sharing of Information

IEPNG does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with the Professional Engineers Registration Board (PERB) for the purposes of registration, with relevant government bodies where required by law, or with service providers who assist IEPNG in operating its membership and website systems, under obligations to keep that information confidential.

5Cookies & Website Usage

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality and understand how visitors use the site. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies, though some parts of the site may not function as intended as a result.

6Data Retention & Security

IEPNG retains personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including ongoing statutory record-keeping obligations under the Professional Engineers Registration Act. IEPNG takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

7Your Rights

You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information IEPNG holds about you, or ask that certain information be removed from public areas of this website (such as the Membership Directory), by contacting IEPNG using the details below.
