GDPR or related regulations we have a part in our documentation that outlines what QGIS does regarding network connections or places where potentially IP addresses of QGIS users could be stored temporarily. You can find this section at <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/appendices/qgis_desktop_network_connections.html">https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/appendices/qgis_desktop_network_connections.html</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>Regarding sustaining membership: if you use QGIS extensively we welcome if your organization or company becomes a new sustaining member. This is an annual membership - in your case at 500 € per calendar year. See <a href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html#qgis-sustaining-memberships">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html#qgis-sustaining-memberships</a> for details. In case you would like to become a sustaining member, I can issue an invoice. However, I am on vacation until Sep. 13 - so can respons only starting from September 14.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps some PSC member (or a related QGIS support company) knows anything about ISO 17001 and IM documents?</div><div><br></div><div>Greetings,</div><div>Andreas Neumann</div><div><a href="http://QGIS.ORG">QGIS.ORG</a> treasurer<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 1 Sept 2023 at 06:00, Lourens Smuts <<a href="mailto:Lourens.Smuts@goldfields.com">Lourens.Smuts@goldfields.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6071364543273348696">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We at Gold Fields Australia trailed QGIS and the outcome we are very happy with the product. However we are ISO 17001 registered, for the registration we need to follow GFA IT internal protocols,
all software need to be evaluated and require the completion of an IM document, stipulating a few details regarding the software. This might require us to utilise a sustainable membership, just following up what the best approach would be, I am sure Gold Fields
Australia would not be the only company asking this question.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
