Stakeholder Group on Ageing Privacy Policy

 

Last Updated July 1, 2017

 

The Stakeholder Group on Ageing (SGA) is a member of the Major Groups and Other Stakeholders involved in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015. SGA members are non-governmental organizations working in the field of ageing at the global, regional, and national levels.  The SGA website at www.stakeholdergrouponageing.com (“SGA website”) is operated on behalf of the SGA by AARP, a not-for-profit corporation headquartered in the United States of America.  

 

Although the SGA website is primarily an informational site intended to provide access to information about the SGA and its members, through the operation of the SGA website we may collect limited information (including personal data about potential member organizations and their primary contacts).  This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal data (such as name and e-mail address).  It also contains other important information, such as how we may update this Privacy Policy and how you can contact us with questions or concerns.
