Cancer CarePoint is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its online users: clients, candidates, and others. We do not collect personally identifiable information about individuals, except when it is knowingly provided by such individuals. We do not share voluntarily provided, personally identifiable information for any purpose other than its intended use.

Information Collection and Use

Web log file data
We collect some basic Web log file data about site visitors. This information includes domain names, Web site traffic patterns and server usage statistics. This information is used for site management and administration and to improve the content and overall performance of our site.

Online Forms
Cancer CarePoint provides intake forms on our Web site which may request confidential information. These online forms are located on our secure site. We ensures security and privacy of an individual's records. For your convenience, a printable version of the form is also available, if preferred.

Subscription to Newsletter or Publication
If you subscribe to a newsletter, publication or press release published by Cancer CarePoint, and distributed via email, we will keep your email address in a private distribution list. Messages sent electronically do not reveal recipients' email addresses or any other personal information. Cancer CarePoint will only send messages to individuals who have requested the subscription, and who have provided their email address to us directly. At any time, you may opt out by using the unsubscribe link provided on our Web site and in the publication email, which will remove your information from the distribution list for that publication.

"Cookies" and how we use them
Cookies are packets of information that a Web site transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. They are a means of keeping track of users' preferences for content and alerting them to new content areas. Most browsers allow you to turn off cookies if you do not want them tracking your preferences.

The Cancer CarePoint Web site (www.cancercarepoint.com) does not set or access cookies on your computer. Cancer CarePoint does set and access cookies, however, no cookies are used to track an identifiable user's movement through this Web site. They are used only to enhance the usability of the site. You can still use this site if you turn the cookies off.

Third-Party Service Providers
Cancer CarePoint may engage reputable third-party vendors to help us manage our Web sites and allow us to better service our patients and visitors. We never share with third parties any personally identifiable information you provide when requesting information or making a donation online, except as required by law.

Links to other sites
This site has links to other sites we think may be of interest to our visitors. Their purpose is to provide visitors with convenient access to other sites that might interest them. A link to another site does not imply an endorsement of the site's content or services

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites not owned by Cancer CarePoint. We encourage you to be aware of that when you leave our site and to read privacy statements at any sites that collect personally identifiable data.

Email Communication
Cancer CarePoint does sell or rent any email addresses. We try to respond to email messages requiring a response within five business days. If you email the company, your message and email address will be forwarded to the appropriate department or program within the company.

How We Use the Information

Cancer CarePoint uses the information you provide to fulfill your online request, facilitate customer service and inform you of our programs and events. We do not rent, sell or otherwise provide visitors' personal information to third parties, such as marketers.

We do not share any personally identifiable information we may collect in surveys, although we may share aggregated survey results with analysts, as described above. The aggregate data cannot be used to identify individuals and participation in the survey is voluntary.

It is possible that we could be forced to disclose personally identifiable user information in response to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order; that can happen to any organization keeping records. Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect our legal rights and the security or integrity of our Web site, or to avoid liability. Those kinds of disclosures are highly unlikely, but possible.

Deletion and Removal of Information

Cancer CarePoint will maintain backup files as a protection against natural disasters, equipment failures, or other disruptions. Backup files protect you and us because they lower the risk of losing valuable data. Removing a record from our main files does not remove that record from any backup systems. As long as backup records exist, they receive the same privacy and security protections as our other records.
