privacy
The American Association of Medical Dosimetrists respects the privacy of its members and other visitors to its Web site. AAMD strongly believes that if electronic commerce and online activities are to flourish, consumers must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately. To protect online privacy, American Association of Medical Dosimetrists has implemented the following policy.
At the AAMD website (www.medicaldosimetry.org), you may visit most areas without revealing any information about yourself. However, AAMD Online contains a "Member Services" area that is available only to AAMD Members and requires a username and password for authentication.
AAMD Online publishes an online interactive version of the AAMD Membership Directory. This is a password-protected area for use by staff, AAMD Members and others as authorized by the President. AAMD Members may restrict the publication of their personal information in the AAMD Membership Directory by request to AAMD.
AAMD Online contains links to other websites. AAMD has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content, accuracy, or security of these websites. You should review the privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing any personal data about yourself.
Most data AAMD collects are used only to help us better serve our members. It is our general policy to collect and store only personal information that our members and visitors knowingly provide. If our privacy policies change, we will notify all users by e-mail or a special announcement placed on the Web site.

From AAMD's Members, Conference Registrants, and Other Customers
To gain access to members-only resources and personalization features on www.medicaldosimetry.org, members and other users are asked to register and provide some limited information.

American Association of Medical Dosimetrists asks users to provide their name, member number (for members), organization name, preferred phone contact, and e-mail. Similar information may be submitted to AAMD through membership applications, conference registration, publication orders, and certification material. Additionally, for some e-mails sent in HTML format by AAMD to its members through its listserves, we will collect specific information regarding what the recipient does with that email. Information collected through this tracking feature includes: email address of a user, the date and time of the user's "click," a message number, name of the list from which the message was sent, tracking URL number and destination page. American Association of Medical Dosimetrists only uses this information to enhance its products and distribution of those products to its members. This information is not sold or distributed in any other manner.

Disclosures to Third Parties
