Last updated: 19 July 2026
Who is responsible for your data?
GNSRL is responsible for the personal data collected through this website. Questions, requests, or complaints about your data can be sent to collaborations@gnsrl.com.
What we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- identity and contact details, including your name, preferred name, email address, phone number, city, and country;
- education and professional information, including qualifications, institution, experience, skills, project history, and professional profile links;
- membership application responses, including your interests, availability, contribution preferences, declarations, and conduct-history response;
- documents you submit, including your CV or résumé and profile photograph;
- communications you send to us and your choice about receiving programme, event, workshop, or opportunity updates; and
- basic technical and security information generated when you access the website, such as server logs, device/browser information, and IP address, where our hosting infrastructure records it.
Please do not include unnecessary sensitive or confidential information in free-text fields or uploaded documents.
Why we use it
- to receive, assess, verify, and respond to membership applications;
- to communicate with applicants and administer membership or participation;
- to evaluate suitability, maintain professional and community standards, and protect participants;
- to respond to enquiries and collaboration requests;
- to send optional updates only where you have chosen to receive them; and
- to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and meet legal obligations relating to the website and our records.
We process personal data with your consent, to take steps you request in connection with an application, for legitimate operational and safety needs, and where necessary to comply with law. You may decline optional updates without affecting your application.
Who can access it
Access is limited to authorised GNSRL reviewers and administrators who need the information for the purposes above. We may also use service providers that host or support the website and communications, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We do not sell personal data. We may disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.
Storage, security, and retention
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal data. No online system is completely secure, so please submit information only through the official GNSRL website and contact us if you suspect unauthorised access.
Application information is kept while we assess the application and, if accepted, while needed to administer the membership relationship. Afterwards, we retain it only for as long as reasonably necessary for record-keeping, dispute resolution, safety, or legal obligations, then delete or anonymise it where practicable. Hosting or support providers may process data in locations outside your state or country, subject to applicable safeguards.
Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access to or a summary of your personal data, request correction or erasure, withdraw consent, opt out of updates, or raise a grievance. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully and may mean we cannot continue an application where the data is necessary to assess it.
Send a request from the email address used in your application to collaborations@gnsrl.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it.
Applicants under 18
If you are under 18, ask a parent or legal guardian to review this notice and consent to the submission before you apply. A parent or guardian may contact us about the applicant's data using the address above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The date above identifies the current version. Please also review our Terms of Use.
