Privacy Policy:
The information below is pertaining to AHRA: The Association for Medical Imaging Management, also known as AHRA and/or www.ahra.org.
Our Commitment To Privacy:
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. You can visit the website without revealing any personal information. However, AHRA needs certain personal information to do the following; these items include but are not limited to registering for events, purchasing our products, paying for membership, making donations, signing up for our mailing list, and posting advertisements.
Where required, this information will include your personal contact information and/or your company contact information. AHRA will use this information to reply to your inquiries, to provide you with requested products and services, to set up your member account, and to contact you regarding new products and services.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email, postal mail, and telephone in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, events, or changes to this privacy policy.
The Information We Collect:
This notice applies to information collected or submitted on this website. Items include, but are not limited to:
- Name
- Title
- Company
- Company Address
- Home Address
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- Credit Card Information
The Way We Use Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when requesting information or services, fulfill orders, register for events, or process membership applications. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such email addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
From time to time we use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Our Commitment To Data Security:
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy:
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
Cookies and Tracking:
We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Third Parties / Outside Parties:
This privacy policy does not apply to the actions of companies that AHRA does not own or control, or of persons that AHRA does not employ or manage, including any third-party content contributors and websites to which AHRA websites link.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Surveys and Contests:
From time-to-time our site requests information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as birthday, title, and interests). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site and our products/services.
