| The Alzheimer's Association is committed to protecting your
privacy when you visit our Web site. Information we collect from you
is used to improve our site, provide you a better experience, and
respond to your questions and requests.
Information collection
We collect two types of information on our Web site:
Web server traffic information. This information is used to
determine the number of visitors to our site, length of stay and
sources of traffic. We collect aggregate data — or totals of those
visiting from a domain — not information identifying individual
users. We use this information to help improve our site and our
service to you.
Personal information provided by you. We collect e-mail
addresses and other personal information only when you provide it to
us. If you fill out a form or survey, request information or make a
donation, we may collect your name, address, city, state, zip code,
telephone number and e-mail address.
Use of personal information
The Alzheimer's Association collects information from different
points on our Web site. We do not sell, trade or rent our Web site
visitor's personal information to others other than those outlined
in this section. If you willingly provide us your personal
information, the Alzheimer's Association may use it in the following
ways:
Donations. When you make an online donation to us, it's
possible your name may be on some mailing lists shared with other
reputable organizations. As a donor, you may request to have your
name removed from these mailing lists. See the Your Choice section
below to learn how.
E-mail Information Requests and Questions. When we respond to
your e-mail requests or questions, we may collect your e-mail
address and send you Alzheimer's Association e-mail bulletins or
news. To opt out and remove your name from future e-mails, follow
the unsubscribe instructions in the message.
Event Registration. The Association provides online
registration for our major events, such as the education and
research conferences and our Memory Walk. We may collect your e-mail
address and send you Alzheimer's Association e-mail bulletins or
news. To opt out and remove your name from future e-mails, follow
the unsubscribe instructions in the message.
Your consent
By using the Alzheimer's Association Web site, you consent to the
collection and use of the information described above. Any changes
to this policy will be posted prior to their implementation.
Your choice
We respect your privacy and recognize that you may wish to limit the
ways in which we contact you. Simply send an e-mail to
helen.payton@alz.org with
the following information:
To remove your name from mailing lists shared with other
organizations, please provide your full name, mailing address and a
sentence requesting removal.
To remove your name from the Alzheimer's Association postal mailing
list, please provide your full name, mailing address and a sentence
requesting suppression of your personal information in our files.
To review or correct your personal information with the Alzheimer's
Association, please provide your name and a sentence requesting a
review or a correction.
Security
We take every precaution to protect your personal information. At
the Alzheimer's Association, your personal information is kept
confidential and stored in a secure environment. Access to your
information is restricted only to authorized staff with a legitimate
and specific business purpose. For example, our finance employees
need access to information to process online donations. If you have
any questions about the security at our Web site, send an e-mail to
helen.payton@alz.org.
