About International Online Sexology Supervisors
International Online Sexology Supervisors (IOSS) runs an online education and clinical supervision platform specifically for sexologists and sexual health professionals. Founded by clinical sexologists Francesca Tripodi and Evie Kirana, who spent years collaborating as co-lecturers and book editors before launching IOSS, the platform provides continuously updated instructional content, webinars, and goal-oriented supervision sessions led by experts in the field.
The organization takes a boutique approach to professional development in sexology, offering three types of clinical supervision: Thematic (focused on specific cases or topics), Structured (systematic skill-building), and Flexi (adaptable to individual needs). IOSS recently developed a conceptual framework for continuous education in sexology that was published in Sexual Medicine journal in 2025, emphasizing transformative, autonomous learning that integrates directly into clinical workflows. While their work intersects with clinical applications of emerging technologies in sexual health, their primary focus remains on equipping sexology professionals with the knowledge and supervision they need to better serve their clients.

Privacy deep-dive
In summary
In our assessment, the reviewed privacy policy and terms of service provide a reasonably structured GDPR rights section and specific confidentiality rules for clinical content, but rely on open-ended retention and legitimate-interest processing for several broad purposes. Overall, as of this review, the documents appear to sit at an average level of privacy protectiveness for a professional training/supervision platform handling sensitive clinical discussion content.
- The reviewed text lists collected data types: name, email, professional/contact details, publicly available publications
- The reviewed text states data processing basis as 'legitimate interests' rather than consent for most purposes

- The reviewed text states data is retained 'as long as the IOSS exists' unless deletion is requested
- The reviewed text contains a dedicated Confidentiality section prohibiting sharing of patient-identifying details
