Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Jan 21, 2007

Personal Information Atlantic Breast Cancer Net (ABCN) supports an individual's right to have their personal information held in the strictest confidence. This Web site does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when specifically, knowingly and voluntarily provided by such individuals. A user's personally identifiable information will not be transferred, sold or loaned to any third party.

IP Addresses ABCN may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, prevent abuse of our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information for statistical and research purposes only. ABCN may make this information available to researchers.

Cookies ABCN may place a "cookie" in the browser files of the user's computer. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifiable information and is used to allow an authenticated user to access pages that require a login. The cookie is created on login and persists for a little while after the user leaves the site, or until logging out. Although the cookie could enable ABCN to relate a user's use of this site to information that the user has specifically and knowingly provided, ABCN does not do so except in cases as outlined above, or under an official law enforcement directive.

This site makes chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you might want to exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Your Web browser may include an option that allows you not to accept cookies, or warn you before accepting them. However, ABCN does not recommend using this option, since some features that require user login will not function properly without them.
