Your Privacy

The Mesothelioma and Asbestos Disease Society (the "Meso Society") respects your privacy. Our goal is to be your trusted, objective source of information regarding Mesothelioma and Asbestos Disease. We want you to make the most of our services and feel confident while doing so online. We have a clear privacy policy: we collect no private, personal information unless you voluntarily supply it. This privacy statement explains under what circumstances we gather your individually identifiable information, how we use it, and who may access that information. It also provides you the means to "opt-out" of providing personal information that you do not wish to provide and to access, change, or remove any identifying information already collected.

We believe that your privacy is of the utmost importance, which is why this statement regarding privacy of personally identifiable information provided online is intended to conform to the Federal Trade Commission's fair information practices of notice, choice, access, and security. We hope that you will provide comments on how we can improve our privacy policy so that we may better accommodate your needs. Please provide any comments to questions@mesosociety.org.

Please note that this privacy policy applies only to the Meso Society's web site, and specifically does not apply to other companies' or organizations' web sites to which we link.

How We Protect Your Information

The Meso Society is dedicated to the security of your personal information, and we take commercially reasonable precautions to maintain that protection. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and facilitate the appropriate use of information, we use physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to attempt to protect the personal information we collect online.

Do We Employ "Cookies?"

"Cookies" are small data files stored on your own computer's hard drive. The Meso Society does not utilize "cookies" at this time.

Our Use of Your Personal Information

Our primary use of the personal information you volunteer is to contact you regarding events, products, services, and information we believe you would find useful. We also may store and use your personal information for our own internal purposes including list management and demographic matching with other internal database information.

Our Retention of Your Personally Identifiable Data

Once you have provided personal information to the Meso Society, we may store and maintain the personally identifiable information you have volunteered for so long as you have not directed us otherwise.

Choice

The Meso Society believes that choice is one of the most important privacy principles. You have the choice not to submit any personally identifiable information to us (although under such circumstances you would be unable to register with us or send us information). You may choose to limit the use of or access to your personally identifiable information by requesting that we refrain from sharing all such information with any third parties. You may "opt out" in this way at any time simply by contacting us at questions@mesosociety.org.

Please note that you will not be able to opt out with regard to the collection and disclosure of aggregate information. Such information does not include anything personally identifiable, however, and simply reflects statistical analysis of various aspects of site usage.

Access and Accuracy

The Meso Society aims to keep your personally identifiable information as accurate as possible. As an online user, you will have the opportunity to access and change your information at any time by contacting us at questions@mesosociety.org or by mailing us a request. After receipt of such a request, we will provide you with your information in our records, and correct or remove your personal information from our records as soon as commercially reasonable in accordance with your written request.
