To protect online information, HCCA has implemented the following policy.
What Information is Collected?
HCCA collects data only if it helps to better service its members. It
is our policy to collect and store only personal information that our
members and visitors knowingly provide, with an aim to keeping users informed
about new information, products, and services that may be of interest
and value.
From General Users
HCCA does not collect any personal information from users browsing its
Web site. Users to the public areas of HCCA’s Web site browse anonymously.
Only aggregate data, such as the number of hits per page, is collected.
From HCCA Members, Conference Registrants, and Other Customers
To gain access to members only resources and features of the HCCA Web
site which require personalization, members and other users are asked
to register and provide limited information. HCCA asks users to provide
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?
HCCA uses information voluntarily submitted by members and other customers
in the following ways:
HCCA Member and Non-Member Services and Products. HCCA uses data collected
only to respond to members and non-members needs and preferences, to improve
its Web content, and to develop new products and services.
HCCA offers members certain features and services through the restricted
access “Members Section” of our Web site. The Members Section
allows our members to access and update their Member Profiles, which consists
of personal information we have collected from each member as part of
their membership application, and to change their passwords. Member and
customer profiles are maintained in our main database. This information
includes such information as member ID number, name, firm/organization,
address, telephone and fax number, and email address. Member and customer
information in our data base is occasionally used by HCCA to distribute
marketing materials by mail, fax or email.
Information Collected to Secure Access to Members Only Section
HCCA may also collect a password, a username, and a security response
(a unique piece of personal information) for each member who uses the
online Members section. This information is accessed only when necessary
to provide technical support.
Disclosures to Third Parties
HCCA makes member contact information available to other members through
the HCCA Membership Directory. HCCA may occasionally provide limited information
to third parties that offer products and services. This limited data includes
names, job titles, companies and business addresses, but does not include
phone numbers, fax numbers or email addresses. This is done on a case-by-case
basis only when the requester can demonstrate that the service or product
will be of some interest or benefit to members and third parties are otherwise
restricted from using or retaining such information. Members may request
HCCA to refrain from disclosing to third parties the data it collects.
However, electing not to receive these communications may mean that you
will not receive notices about products, events, or services that may
be useful to you.
