their name, member number (for members), organization name, business
phone, and email. Similar information may be submitted to HCCA through
membership applications, conference or seminar registration, product
orders, subscriptions, and other forms of communication.
How Does HCCA Use Data Collected?

each member as part of their membership application, and to change their
passwords. Member and customer profiles are maintained in our main

occasionally used by HCCA to distribute marketing materials by mail, fax

unique piece of personal information) for each member who uses the
online Members section. This information is accessed only when necessary
