The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (“AASLD”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) operates https://hcvguidelines.org (the “Site”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the Site. We use your Personal Information only for providing and improving the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
AASLD is committed to protecting the privacy of those who use the website. To serve that goal, we have adopted this privacy policy.
Information Collected
AASLD collects and utilizes different kinds of information from users of the AASLD website. Like most websites, AASLD uses “cookies” for several legitimate purposes. These include differentiating between repeat and new users. It is the policy of AASLD that data generated by cookies will be used for internal purposes only (e.g., to improve the site and site-related services for users). The data compiled via cookies is considered confidential and will not be sold to entities outside of the organization.
We may ask for your address, phone number, email address and/or other demographic or personal information when you place an order for an AASLD product or service, when you complete a survey, register for a conference, apply for membership, or on other occasions. This information is used internally in various ways, such as to provide a personalized member experience, to assist in marketing and promotional activities, and to provide or fulfill the requested services, and while fulfilling such services, this information may be shared with third party providers and partners of AASLD. In instances where information is shared, it is with the express purpose of fulfilling the requested services on behalf of AASLD or to improve the ability of AASLD to provide the same or similar services in the future.
From time to time, we may use your address, phone number or email address to provide you with updates and other information that we think may be of interest to you.
We collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email and for those who register for certain sections of the site. We do not currently sell any email addresses to any third party. We may aggregate information on what pages users access. AASLD uses this information to enhance our online offerings, information and services.
We also collect information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations. This information is kept confidential by AASLD and, again, is used for internal purposes.
