On May 25th, 2018 the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into effect. In order to comply with the new and existing regulations on data protection following is an explanation of how the data are collected and used.

How is your personal data collected?

Through the membership application form WPSA collects the following information: first name(s), last name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone/fax number, gender, date of birth, and field of study. These data are stored in a database on a stand-alone computer and not stored online. Access to the database is limited to two persons within the WPSA office.

How we use your personal data

Your personal data is used for the distribution of the World’s Poultry Science Journal (online or print) and for registration for WPSA sponsored meetings.

All WPSA members have access to the online version of the World’s Poultry Science Journal. That database is serviced by Cambridge University Press. The privacy statement of Cambridge University Press, can be found on http://www.cambridge.org/about-us/legal-notices.

WPSA database information will never be shared with third parties.

Website

Contact details (name, address, e-mail, phone number) of Branch Secretaries, Branch Presidents and WPSA officers are published on our website (www.wpsa.com).

WPSA Proceedings

The National Agricultural Library (NAL) is working on the digitisation of the Proceedings of all the World's Poultry Congresses.
So far they have published the proceedings from the 1st till the 20th World's Poultry Congress.
Also the International Reviews of Poultry Science (1928-1940) are published on the NAL website.

You can find them on the website of the NAL.

Conference Proceedings

Starting in 2002, WPSA formulated a policy by which WPSA and the World’s Poultry Science Journal (WPSJ) would benefit most from the outcomes of the WPSA symposia and conferences. Briefly, the following is the result of the discussions and this procedure is now in force.
The symposia and conference organisers can make their own arrangements for publishing proceedings for the registered delegates - presumably a book of abstracts and a CD-Rom of the full papers.
WPSJ will have the first option to publish any symposium papers that are suitable i.e. reviews.
