Survivorship A to Z, Inc. (SAZ) respects the privacy of visitors to Survivorship A to Z.org. (the "Site")

Your trust is important to us.

This Privacy Policy and Agreement describes our privacy practices. By using the Site, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, and therefore encourage you to revisit this page periodically or when you notice new features on the Site.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Any information you reveal in a public forum such as a message board, online meetings, posting, chat room/event, or similar electronic public venue, is not protected by this Privacy Policy. Such postings will be seen by third parties not related to SAZ. What you write could be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes.

• If you access any other web site from a link on the Site, any information you reveal on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. If privacy is a concern, you should consult the privacy policy of each web site you visit.

We hope that reading our Privacy Policy gives you a clear idea of how we manage information we gather about you or from you.

By using the Site, you signify your acceptance of this privacy policy.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OUR SITE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR SITE FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WILL MEAN THAT YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES.

You are free to visit and use our Site without providing any personal information. However, SAZ offers services on our site that require registration and/or submission of personal information. Providing SAZ with your personal information is strictly voluntary.

In the event that you make an online donation to help continue our work,  we must share your personal information with third party credit card processing companies in order to process your donations.

We use the personal information you provide to customize a Survivorship A to Z Personalized Guide. We also ask if you would like to be updated if a particular article is updated. If you desire, we will send you an email informing you of any change. From time to time we email you to inform you of other changes on our site. If you do you not wish SAZ to contact you, please do provide your e mail address. You are of course free to unsubscribe to any emails that you receive from us.

We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, "Outside Contractors") to provide specific services and products related to our Site, including but not limited to hosting our Site, hosting and maintaining our message boards and/or rooms; providing credit card processing and shipping fulfillment; fraud screening; and developing applications for our Site and email services. Outside Contractors may have limited access to information collected on our Site, including your Personal Information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access to your Personal Information by these Outside Contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the Outside Contractors to perform their limited function for us.

SAZ collects two kinds of information:

• Personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") voluntarily provided by visitors through optional registration or other methods.
  
• Non-personally identifiable information routinely gathered as visitors navigate through our Site.
  

By registering as a member, you agree to receive email and newsletters from SAZ. To receive emails and newsletters from SAZ you must provide your email address. SAZ also offers a "Send An Article" feature that enables you to send articles and other content to your friends. When you use SAZ's "Send An Article" feature, we do not store your friend's email address. We use your friend's email address only for the purpose of sending your friend the article or content you requested and for no other purpose, unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time you send the email.

If you have a complaint or problem, you may email us at help at SurvivorshipAtoZ dot org and we will forward your complaint to the appropriate internal SAZ department for a response or resolution. We try to answer every email in a timely manner but are not always able to do so. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy or feel that we are not abiding by the terms of our posted Privacy Policy, please contact us in any of the following ways:

• Send an email to: Survivorship A to Z.

• Send a letter to: Survivorship A to Z, Inc ,353 W. 56th Street #9N, New York, NY 10019l.

Effective Date: This policy was last updated on February 22, 2022

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on or through our Site. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name, email, and/or shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).

A member of the SAZ editorial team may contact users of the Site via email for potential interviews and/or feature stories. Participation in editorial or interview requests is strictly voluntary and you are free to refuse to participate. If you do choose to participate, however, you should be aware that we may use your name, likeness, statements, quotes, and other Personal Information.

This Privacy Policy does not protect you when you send information, ideas, or concepts to SAZ by email to the contacts listed on the "Contact Us" link on our Site. If you want to keep information, ideas, or concepts private or proprietary, do not send them in an email to SAZ.

You may use our Site without registering or submitting any Personal Information. In that case, the only information we will collect from you is general, aggregated, demographic, or other non-personal information.

A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on our Site to determine the number of unique visitors, to personalize your online experience, to identify returning visitors, and possibly to provide you with advertisements and messages of interest to you. SAZ does not store any Personal Information in any cookies on your computer. However, we do link the non-personal information we store in cookies to your Personal Information.

From time to time, we may allow other companies to offer products or services through our Site. Such companies may use their own cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use and placement of cookies by SAZ only, and does not cover the use or placement of cookies by any third party.

Your browser may be set to reject all cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the "Help" section of the toolbar. If you reject our cookie(s), you will be restricted to certain areas of our Site and will be unable to access areas of the Site available to members.

We have the right to use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our Web site. This company may use non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

As is true of most sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information (which does not identify individual users) to analyze trends, to administer the Site, and to identify and solve hardware and software problems as they arise. We may link this automatically-collected data to your Personal Information for the purpose of determining your interests and to offer you goods or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

If you register on our Site and provide us with Personal Information, we may link non-personal, aggregated tracking data with your online Personal Information through use of cookies, log files and other non-personal information collection.

We perform this tracking and merging to assist us in evaluating and improving our Site, products, and services; to determine your preferences so that we can tailor our Site, products, and services to your needs; and in case there are targeted marketing offers that we think may be of interest to you.

Sponsors, partners or advertisers on the Site or in emails, special promotions, or newsletters we send you may also use their own cookies or web beacons when you click on their advertisement or link to their site or service, or even if the advertisement simply appears on a page or in an email that you are viewing.

We do not control third parties' use of cookies or web beacons, or how they manage the non-personal information they gather through them. Please review the privacy policy of other web sites you visit or link to from our site to understand how these other sites use cookies and how they use the information they collect through the use of cookies or web beacons on their own sites.

Through our Site, you may be given the opportunity to purchase (or to obtain more information) regarding certain content, products or services which are sold through a person or company other than us or our Affiliates (collectively "Third Party Sellers"). We will attempt (but cannot guarantee) to notify you when you are dealing with a Third Party Seller by opening a new browser or otherwise notifying you that you are leaving our Site. For example, if you see a phrase such as "powered by" or "brought to you by" followed by the name of a person or company other than SAZ, then you are likely on, or about to enter, a site hosted or operated by a person or company other than us. Third Party Sellers may request that you submit certain Personal Information to them in order to purchase their products or services or to obtain additional information from them.

By submitting the requested information, you affirmatively consent to have that information shared with the Third Party Seller. This information is used by the Third Party Seller and may be subject to a different privacy policy. We do not otherwise share or disclose your Personal Information to Third Party Sellers unless you give us permission to do so.

In addition to the third party sites that you may access as described above, for your convenience there are links to sites operated by companies other than SAZ ("Third Party Sites") that are not contractors who provide content or services through our Site. These links may be referenced within content, or placed beside the names or logos of sponsors. SAZ does not disclose your Personal Information to these Third Party Sites without obtaining your consent. In addition, SAZ does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. If you choose to link to one of these Third party Sites, you should review the privacy policy posted on the other site to understand how that Third Party Site collects and uses your Personal Information.

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, liquidation, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of SAZ. We will endeavor, in good faith, to gain the third party's agreement and adherence to the terms of this Privacy Policy. In addition, we will notify users of any such transfer through notice on our Site and through email.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our donation forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). To learn more about SSL, follow this link www.verisign.com .

We use industry standard high-grade encryption to store sensitive information in our database.  This includes (but is not limited to) passwords, social security numbers, and other sensitive information.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our Site, please email us at Survivorship A to Z.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will only use Personal Information for the purposes described herein or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you. You may also change your preference and "opt-out" of receiving voluntary, non-transactional communications by changing that option in your Member Profile feature of our Site, following the directions provided in association with the communication, or by contacting privacy at SurvivorshipAtoZ dot org. You may also change your mind as to whether SAZ may share your information with third parties by changing the option in your Member Profile or sending an email to privacy at SurvivorshipAtoZ dot org.

Except as otherwise stated herein, users of our Site are notified when Personal Information is being collected by third parties on our Site.

Please know too that you may always choose not to provide information, though it might be needed to take advantage of offers or Site features. You can add or update certain information you provide to us through your Member Profile.

You can always contact us in order to:

• Update or correct your Personal Information.

• Change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us or third parties.

• Delete the Personal Information maintained about you on our systems, by accessing your Member Profile or by contacting privacy at SurvivorshipAtoZ dot org.

Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will not have an effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change, or deletion.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to SAZ from our servers. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Nevertheless, upon receiving your request, all Personal Information stored in the databases we actively use for research and daily business activities, and other readily searchable media, will be disabled.
