PRIVACY STATEMENT
The American Academy of Pediatrics- Arizona Chapter (AzAAP) takes the issue of privacy very seriously. This policy is intended to help you understand how AzAAP collects, uses and safeguards the information collected on our Web site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the use or disclosure of information that is collected or obtained through means other than this Web site.
Collection of Information: Visitors may generally browse public portions of the AzAAP Web site anonymously without providing any personal information. However, AzAAP members are required to provide personal information in connection with registering for or accessing member portions of the site. In addition, personal information will be requested in connection with purchasing products or services, requesting additional information, signing up for newsletters or listservs, participating in forums or submitting questions through this site. In general, a visitor will know when personal information is being collected because he or she will have to fill out a form. AzAAP does not knowingly collect or use any personal information from users under 13 years of age. AzAAP will endeavor to correct, update or remove collected personal data if contacted (sue.braga@azaap.org).
AzAAP Use of Information: Any information collected on the Web site will be used by the AzAAP only for the purpose stated at the time of collection. Only those who ask to be added to AzAAP e-mail lists or who ask for information from AzAAP will receive e-mail communications from AzAAP. AzAAP members may be automatically added to AzAAP e-mail lists or certain other private lists if AzAAP has an e-mail address for the member. E-mail addresses may be removed from AzAAP e-mail lists at any time by following the applicable opt-out procedure specified in the list welcome message or by contacting the AzAAP Listmaster and specifying the name of the list. AzAAP may share statistical or aggregated, non-personal information about our visitors with affiliates, business partners and other third parties. This data is used for administrative purposes only.
Sharing of Information: AzAAP may provide personal information to third party agents that have been hired to help provide a requested good or service. For example, in connection with a product order, AzAAP would need to provide the collected credit card number to a payment authorization service and the corresponding address to a shipping company to deliver the package. Unless directed otherwise at the time of collection, AzAAP may also share collected personal information with third parties who may have information or services that AzAAP believes could be helpful to members or visitors. AzAAP may also share personally identifiable information obtained from an AzAAP member for the purpose of facilitating the member's access to programs and activities consistent with AzAAP's goal of improving quality in the delivery of pediatric health care services. AzAAP members may change their preference for the sharing of information on the member page. Other visitors may also opt-out from the sharing of collected information by contacting the AzAAP Webmaster (sue.braga@azaap.org).
Cookies and Tracking Information: AzAAP may use "cookie" technology to obtain non-personal information from its on-line visitors. AzAAP servers may also collect the IP addresses and domain names of visitors for site administration purposes. AzAAP does not extract personal information in these processes, nor does AzAAP provide this information to third parties. AzAAP does not contact on-line visitors based on information in the AzAAP cookie file.
AzAAP has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect information received from online visitors against unauthorized access and use. All information is protected by AzAAP security measures, which are periodically reviewed.
AzAAP reserves the right to disclose without notice to the user any information in its possession if required to do so by law, to protect or defend AzAAP's rights or property, or to respond to an emergency.
