The data we receive from you is never sold to any third parties. FIFEC provides conference attendees the option of including their contact information on a list of annual conference attendees that is distributed to other conference attendees, who have also agreed to share their information, as well as conference exhibitors and sponsors. Occasionally, course instructors may request a list of registered attendees for the course(s) they taught. A list of consenting course registrants may be shared with those instructors.
If the conference registrant opted not to share their contact information, they will not be included in the annual conference attendee list that is distributed, nor will they receive a copy of the list. Law enforcement personnel, state & federal prosecutors are always removed from this shared list.
