Privacy

The project for Genetic Dilemmas in Primary Care is committed to respecting the privacy of visitors who use our website. It is important that you understand what information we collect and how we use that information.

A cookie is a small data file that can be written from a web server to a web browser. A cookie can contain non-personally identifiable information, or personally identifiable information, or can be used to associate an otherwise anonymous user with personally identifiable information stored elsewhere. Cookies may be further classified as either session cookies (which expire at the end of a current visit or session at the website), or persistent cookies (which remain stored on the user’s computer until a specified expiration date).

This website does not use any type of cookies.

This website does automatically collect certain types of anonymous data. This may include, but is not limited to, data such as type of web browser used, type of computer used, number of pages visited, or number of files downloaded from the site. Any such information would be used in aggregate form for the purpose of improving the performance and utility of the website for its intended audience or potentially, for an analysis, which may be published without any personal identifiers, of how the site or the Program is used.

This website does not automatically collect any personally identifiable information.

Personally identifiable information is captured when a site visitor chooses to communicate such information via one or more of the feedback links provided. Typically, the information captured will be the sender’s email address. If provided by the user we may also capture the sender’s name, organizational affiliation, contact information, etc. All such communications are voluntary on the part of the sender, and are not required for use of, or access to, any part of the website. Therefore site visitors have the option to avoid submitting any personally identifiable information.

Usage of the online evaluation form about the program will not generate any personally identifiable information.

Personally identifiable information submitted to webmaster@MattlinMandell.com as part of reports of website problems will be used exclusively in an effort to resolve the problem(s) reported.

All other personally identifiable information submitted may possibly be used by The Hastings Center and/or the GDIPC project team for follow-up research about the Genetic Dilemmas program.

The substantive content of any voluntary communications by site visitors will also be captured. That content may possibly be used by The Hastings Center and/or the GDIPC project team for follow-up research about the Genetic Dilemmas program.

Information submitted to The Hastings Center would likely consist of, but is not necessarily limited to name, address and financial information as needed for the purchase and delivery of program copies.
