What information do we collect? How do we use it?
When you request information from us or enter into a transaction with us (registering for an event, buying a product, or seeking information), we may need to know specific information in order to process your request. Our site’s forms may require you to give us contact information (like your name, e-mail and address).
When you order products or services from our site, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. For more details, see the section below about online security.
We may use the contact information from these registration, order and survey forms to send you information about mesothelioma and other programs or events of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (Meso Foundation). You may opt-out of receiving future mailings. See the choice/opt-out section below.
We also collect anonymous, non-identifiable information about visitors. When you visit our site, our server automatically records your domain (service provider), operating system and web browser type/version, as well as the time and date of your visit on a particular page. The information automatically recorded by our server is used only for statistical purposes so that we can manage our site and better serve our visitors. Our server does not and cannot record identifiable information such as your e-mail address.
