Privacy Policy

We provide this notice explaining our online information practices. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. By visiting Screen for Lung Cancer at www.screenforlungcancer.org, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect & How We Use It
Two types of information are collected:

  1. Personal, or "individually identifiable," information you provide to us
  2. Standard web server/visitor traffic information, commonly referred to as "aggregate information," regarding overall Website traffic patterns. We do not report on individual user sessions. Normally, web servers collect this type of basic information as part of their web log processes.

Individually Identifiable Information
There are instances when Lung Cancer Alliance requests individually identifiable information from its users. Examples include: volunteer recruitment, product ordering, subscriptions, information requests, contributions, etc. Individually identifiable user information we may request includes:

First and last name, street address, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, and subject of inquiry (i.e. volunteering or information requests).

Aggregate Information
In addition to information provided by our visitors, we use the normal Internet tracking tools associated with standard Internet protocols and web based systems. This system information is typically stored in log files and the information is used for aggregate reporting. Aggregate reporting includes: total number of visitors, most visited sections, peak traffic times, etc. Log files are simply transaction records web servers maintain. Those logs are used for recording information, such as:

  • Service provider IP addresses;
  • Browser versions;
  • Referring Websites;
  • Search terms used;
  • Average number of pages requested;
  • Average duration of visit;
  • Total visitor traffic.

We use aggregate information gathered from your visit to better design our Website. This information supplies us with a broad picture of how people use our Website in order to help the management of our systems and to better serve our audience.

Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we strive to maintain physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to secure the information we collect online.
