Thank you for visiting SSION. This policy explains how SSION will
handle information we learn about you from your visit to our Website.
Respecting the privacy of our members is among our deepest core values
at SSION, and we are committed to it in all of our interactions with
members. We recognize that our members are our most important assets,
and we strive to protect their interests at all times.
With our deep commitment to the privacy of our participants, our privacy
policy can be summarized below:
- SSION does not monitor, track, or record
users' actions for the purposes of obtaining profiles of individual
users as they visit our site.
- SSION does not sell lists of our members
and participants to third parties.
The information we receive depends on what you do when visiting our
site. It can be categorized as anonymous information (which cannot
be tied back to you as an individual) or personally identifiable information
(which tells us specifically who you are, e.g., your name, phone number,
e-mail or postal address).
In general, when you visit our Website and access information you
remain anonymous.
SSION, or its member organizations, may, at times, request that you
participate in a survey or answer additional questions about yourself.
Participants are never required to answer these questions. We ask
them in order to provide you with services that match your interests
and needs. Some examples of information we might collect are your
age group, hobbies, or city of residence. Before we ask you for information,
we will explain how this information will be used. We appreciate your
cooperation and participation. If SSION, or its member organization,
does survey its participants, we will clearly identify the survey
as originating from SSION or the corresponding organization.
SSION is committed to safeguarding your sensitive information. We
do not encourage you to provide any sensitive information (such as
a credit card number) in our Website.
Our Website may provide links to third party websites. Since we do
not control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy
policies of these third party sites before providing any sensitive
information to them.
If you visit our site to browse or download information or link to
other sites, we may collect the following anonymous information:
- The name of the domain from which you access the Internet;
- The date and time you access our site; and
- The Internet address of
the Website from which you linked directly to our site.
You also may decide to send us personally identifying information.
Any information that we collect may be subject to disclosure, but
will be handled in accordance with our privacy policy to ensure the
greatest protection of personal privacy in the face of any required
disclosure. Except as might be required by law, we do not share any
information we receive with any outside parties.
What is a cookie? A cookie is a piece of information that is sent
to your browser, along with a Web page, when you access a Website.
There are two kinds of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text
that is stored temporarily in your computer's RAM. Because a session
cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you
close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of
text that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive.
If you have your browser set to notify you before accepting cookies
the notice will tell you if the cookie expires some time in the future
or not. Persistent cookies have an expiration date in the future.
Session cookies have no date associated with them.
The SSION Website will use persistent cookies. To better serve you,
we require your browser to accepts cookies. We need to use cookies
to secure the connection during a session visit.
SSION may also use cookies only to enable message board participants
to maintain their login when moving between message pages and standard
pages. These cookies do not track individual information.
Advertisements served by third parties may also use cookies to enable
them to count the number of people who view these ads.
For site management, information is collected for statistical purposes. Our system may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. This information is only used internally, does not contain personal identifiers, and will only be used for internal management purposes.
