It is your responsibility to keep your PayPal Account and PayPal Funding Source current and funded, and your PayPal Account backed by at least one valid credit card.

Effective and Last Updated: July 12 , 2010

This website is owned and operated by the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology (the "APSC ").  We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content and services on the APSC website (the "Website").  This Privacy Policy applies to the Website only. It does not apply to other external websites to which we link.  Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that you accept this Privacy Policy by visiting the Website.

1.  Information Collected

We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or e-mails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.

• Voluntary Registration Information.
  
  Most of the content of the Website can be accessed without registering. But you do have to register to access the Member areas of the Website and certain personal services, such as paying your Fellow dues using PayPal, and you must first complete the registration process, during which we will collect personally identifiable information about you, including your name, job title, institution, postal address, e-mail address, work telephone number, work fax number, the name of your national cardiology society, and your Fellowship status. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information to us on a voluntary basis.  
  
  By registering yourself with us, you consent to how we use and disclose such information as described in this Privacy Policy.
• Voluntary Information for Services and Features
  
  We also collect another personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain other features of the Website, including: i) paying Fellowship dues, ii) consenting to receive e-mail messages about upcoming promotions or events, iii) consenting to receive e-mail, iv) participating in our forum, iv) commenting on articles, and others. When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your "Contact Information" in addition to other personally identifiable information that may be required to complete a transaction such as your phone number, billing and shipping addresses and credit card information (e.g., you need your "Contact Information" to use PayPal for payment of your annual dues for APSC Fellowship.).
• Cookies
  
  A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer that a website can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate their ongoing access to and use of a website. The use of cookies is an industry standard and may enable for websites to provide useful features.  Cookies only identify a specific computer, however, they would not identify a specific person or include any personally identifiable information. Furthermore they would pose no threat to your computer.
  
  The Website uses cookies to store users' preferences and to record information of each session. We do not and will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information from any user, unless such user intentionally submits such information to us.  
  
  Cookies enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly.  Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether you would accept them, and show you how to remove them. If user's system is idle for a certain period of time, cookies will expire, causing the user to log in the Website again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the users' information while they are away from their computers.
  
  You may set most of the browsers to notify you of your receiving a cookie, or you may choose to block any cookies with your browser. Please note that if you erase or block your cookies, you may be required to re-enter your original user ID and password each time you access to certain parts of the Website.
  
  Third-Party Cookies:  The Website contains advertisements from third-party advertisers, who may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser. Please refer to section 4 of this policy on the Third-Party Cookies.
