PRIVACY POLICY Revised March 26, 2021
SCAI, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, hereafter referred to as "SCAI" provides this site or app as a Service to its members, attendees, and others. Any Personal Information that we collect through this Service is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. SCAI employs third-party companies to design, operate, and maintain elements of this service on our behalf; and those third parties are required to respect and enforce this Privacy Policy.
What
happens to personal information deliberately entered through this service?
We
store that information so it is available to SCAI staff and to selected
volunteers who are helping to plan SCAI's conferences. Later, we will display
or disclose some of that information to conference attendees and other as
described below. In addition to the information you enter about yourself, other
people – including SCAI staff, session organizers, and others – may enter your
name and email address and other requested information in an effort to include
you in a conference or other SCAI activity. SCAI may use any of this information
to inform you of upcoming conferences and other SCAI events and services that it
believes might be of interest to you.
If
you signed into this site with your SCAI credentials…
we
may link that information to other information that you entered when joining or
creating an account with SCAI or when registering for SCAI's conferences.
Otherwise,
when you visit this site…
we
store your IP address, the pages you visited, the date and time of that visit,
and other information about your device. We may use this data for forensic
purposes and to improve the performance of the system. We may also aggregate
that data for internal planning purposes.
Credit
Card Account Information
If
you make a credit card payment through this service, we immediately submit that
information to the appropriate clearinghouse. We store in our system just the
name and address of the card holder, and a small amount of information
summarizing the transaction(s). That transaction summary information is not
disclosed to anyone outside of SCAI.
Other
financially or commercially sensitive information
Please
do not submit any financially or commercially sensitive information through
this service unless the data entry form clearly identifies it as sensitive
information that will be encrypted at rest and that will only be disclosed to
the appropriate parties at the right time.
Disclosures
of conference attendees and other validated users of this service
To
protect the privacy of SCAI's conference participants and other users of this
site, we no longer post email addresses, phone numbers, or street addresses;
nor do we share such information with third parties except as described below.
SCAI does want to encourage collaboration among its members, conference attendees, and other users of this service. Therefore, if an attendee or other validated user of this site would like to contact you, this site may at times give them a way to do so. In general, by using this system that person will reveal their own email address (and, perhaps, other contact information as well) to you. They will generally not be shown your email address or other information unless you explicitly authorize them to see it.
Disclosures
to exhibitors and other suppliers or marketers
If
you explicitly said “yes” through this service to a question about sharing
information with exhibitors or other third parties, SCAI may make your name, job
title, organization name, city, state, country, and email address available to
exhibitors and other legitimate suppliers or marketers to our industry. If you
change your mind and no longer wish to have your information shared in this way,
you can opt out by contacting SCAI
