Privacy Policy
The International Society For Posture & Gait Research respects your privacy, and this privacy policy provides important information about how we gather and protect your personal information when you visit us. Use of our Web site constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.
About the Information We Collect
The International Society For Posture & Gait Research gathers two types of information through its Site. The first is routine statistical information, which is gathered as you browse through our site. The second is personal information that you give to us voluntarily.
Routine Statistical Information
The Society's Web server automatically gathers limited information from you as you navigate through our site. We collect information about thousands of visitors like you and analyze it as a whole. This study involves looking for trends, such as the number of visitors to our site and which parts of the site are visited most frequently. We use these statistics to help make our site more useful to you and to improve the services we offer.
Personal Information
When you visit our site, we do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with the information. You may visit many of our Web site pages without telling us who you are or revealing personal information. However, some services we provide require that you furnish personal information. Examples would be, making contributions, registering to receive electronic newsletters, or becoming a member of the Society. In connection with your use of such services, you may be asked to provide contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address), financial information (such as your credit card type, number, and expiration date) and demographic information (such as your zip code or age).
Credit card information is used only for your intended purchase (i.e., the membership contribution you wish to make). Credit card information will never be stored on the Web site. Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries and to send information and or services you request from our Web site. You also may receive periodic mailings from us about membership information, updates to our site, or upcoming events. You may request at any time that your contact information be removed from our mailing list. The Society does not sell or rent any of your personal information.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are elements that a Web site maintains on an individual's computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most Web sites. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files and the only personal information a cookie can contain is information that you voluntarily supply.
The Society uses cookies to provide more personalized service for you and to make our site easier for you to use. A cookie enables a our site to temporarily keep information on your computer as you navigate from page to page on our site, and to retrieve information on a return visit.
If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the presence of a cookie to your computer. However, some features of our site will not work properly if you refuse cookies.
Security
The security of your financial information (credit card type, number, and expiration date) is a primary concern of the International Society For Posture & Gait Research. We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Our site has a Secure Server ID and credit card information is transmitted in an encrypted format to help protect it against unauthorized use. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
Links to Other Web Sites
As an added service to you, our Site contains links to other sites that may be of interest. The linked sites are not under the control of the Society. Consequently we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the contents of any linked site.
