PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy policy for the websites of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI)
EAACI is committed to protecting your online privacy. This policy governs all pages hosted by EAACI, including the Allergynews.com website and any other website it will create in the future. It does not apply to pages hosted by other organisations, including National Societies of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, which have their own privacy policies.
EAACI uses the information it collects about you to better understand how its website is used, to send information on EAACI you have requested or that may be considered of interest to you, to process your membership application and to render services you have ordered or which are included in your membership.
To understand how your personal information will be treated, please read the following policy. This policy may change from time to time so please refer to it periodically.
What identifiable information is collected from you?
The type and amount of information received and stored by EAACI depends on how you use the website. You can access most EAACI pages without stating who you are and without revealing any personal information, except in the case of online membership applications or in the case you want to access the "Members Only Area" of the website.
EAACI does not collect information identifying you personally (such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) unless that information is voluntarily disclosed. There are instances where EAACI requests information that does identify you personally for the purpose of providing you with specific services or of corresponding with you. Information that you supply in this way will not be shared with any third party except where needed to provide a requested service or required by law.
How does EAACI use the information?
EAACI does not distribute, sell or rent user information to anyone. EAACI uses the information collected about you to improve its understanding of web visitors, to send information that you have requested or that may be considered of interest to you, to process your membership application and to render services you've ordered or which are included in your membership. Some information identifying EAACI members is forwarded to third parties for purely technical and administrative processing (e.g. to Wiley Publishing to send out Allergy and Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (PAI) and the Newsletter). These parties are not authorized to distribute, sell or rent user information.
With whom may EAACI share the information?
EAACI will not disclose any information identifying you personally, except with your prior permission or where required by law.
What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information?
Any information on new EAACI products that you registered to receive will be sent to you electronically or by other means. EAACI may also send you unsolicited e-mail messages it feels may be of interest to you. You can indicate that you do not wish to receive the mail messages by sending an e-mail to info@eaaci.net and you will be removed from the recipients' list.
How can you access, update or delete the information?
EAACI takes very seriously the accuracy of the information it holds on you. If you change your e-mail address or discover inaccurate information, or if you wish to unsubscribe, please send an e-mail message to info@eaaci.net. Members are invited to regularly update their profile in the "Members Only Area" of the website.
How does EAACI treat your personal information?
EAACI ensures to the best of its ability that any personal information you provide is secure on its systems. However, it cannot guarantee that submitting information over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, EAACI does not confirm or warrant the security of personal information submitted; you do so at your own risk.
