Legal requests for your data

We may share your information if and when we are required to do so by law.
 

Cross-Border Transfer of Your Data

If you visit our websites from a country other than the United States, your communications will likely result in the transfer of your personal data across national borders. If you provide us with your personal data when visiting one of our websites from outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that this data may be transferred from your then-current location to our offices and servers and to those of our affiliates, agents, and service providers located in the United States and in other countries. The United States and such other countries may not have the same level of data protection as those that apply in the jurisdiction where you live.

EU Residents

For site visitors who reside in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we will only transfer your personal data (a) to jurisdictions with “adequate protection” as used in the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) governing transfer of personal data outside of the European Union, or (b) to recipients with appropriate safeguards in place, including where contractual arrangements exist which include Standard Contractual Clauses (as defined in the GDPR) without any additions, modifications, or omissions.

California Residents

Under California law, once a year, DiMe members who are California residents may request certain information about our disclosure of your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for direct marketing purposes. To request your personal information under California law, please contact us via one of the following methods: using “California Privacy Rights” as the heading: by email at [email protected] or by mail at Digital Medicine Society, Inc., 90 Canal St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA, 02114 Moffitt Cancer Center 12902 USF Magnolia Drive, Tampa, FL 33612 .

Technical information

This section of the DiMe Privacy Policy gives detail about the information above. No new information is presented.

Logging practices

CancerX automatically records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. The IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the internet (it is a “dynamic” address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn’t change (it is “static”) and could be associated with your personal computer.

We keep track of the pages visited on CancerX’s website, the amount of time spent on those pages, and the types of searches done on them. Your searches remain confidential and anonymous. CancerX uses this information only for statistical purposes to find out which pages users find most useful and to improve the website.

CancerX may capture and store information that you transmit. This may include:

  • Browser/Device type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Media Access Control (MAC) address
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Volume of data transferred

External links

Some links on CancerX’s website link to other sites created and maintained by other public- and/or private-sector organizations. CancerX provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving the CancerX domain, and CancerX’s information management policies no longer apply. CancerX encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data.

Cookies and web beacons

Cookies and web beacons are electronic placeholders that are placed on your device by websites to track your individual movements on that website over time. CancerX uses both session-based cookies (which last only for the duration of the user’s session) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device and provides information about the session you are in and waits for the next time you use that site again).

These cookies and web beacons provide useful information to CancerX, enabling us to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s access to and use of our sites, allows us to track usage behavior, and to balance the usage of our websites on all CancerX web servers.

Tracking cookies, third-party cookies, and other technologies such as web beacons may be used to process additional information, enable non-core functionalities on the CancerX website and enable third-party functions (such as a social media “share” link). We may also include web beacons and other similar technology in promotional email messages to determine whether the messages have been opened.

Website analytics

CancerX uses Google Analytics to track user interactions with the CancerX website. Users can review how Google Analytics collects and processes data by visiting www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/

Do Not Track (DNT)

The online advertising industry has self-regulatory initiatives designed to provide consumers a choice in the types of ads they may see online and to conveniently opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all of the companies participating in these programs. We do not participate in any DNT initiative, and therefore our websites will not honor DNT consumer browser settings.
