privacy
The American Association of Medical Dosimetrists respects the privacy of its members and other visitors to its website. 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, the AAMD website contains a "Member Portal" area that is available only to AAMD Members and requires a username and password for authentication.
The AAMD Member Portal publishes an online Membership Directory. This is a password-protected area for use by staff and AAMD Members. AAMD Members may restrict the publication of their personal information in the AAMD Portal by submitting an email request to AAMD (aamd@medicaldosimetry.org) or by managing their online profile settings under “Edit Bio.”
The AAMD website 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 is 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 website.
When creating an online AAMD Profile (member or non-member record), individuals must agree to the following: I certify that I am a medical dosimetry or radiation oncology professional and hereby certify that the statements contained herein are correct. I agree to abide by the AAMD bylaws and Code of Ethics. I understand that I will receive general email communications from AAMD, including sponsored content, unless I submit an email request to aamd@medicaldosimetry.org to be opted out of AAMD email correspondence.

Alternatively, users may contact AAMD at aamd@medicaldosimetry.org to express their preferences if they determine later that they do not wish to have the information shared.
Consent to Use Personal Information
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act(s) 1984 and 1998 (as applicable), AAMD or its agents must store, host, and otherwise process the information (including personal data) supplied by the User when registering for this website.

AAMD Members may request to be excluded from commercial postal mailings by request to AAMD.
AAMD periodically cooperates with partner organizations through an exchange of member information. This exchange is approved by the AAMD leadership and is conducted with groups that have an interest in serving AAMD Members and will not be used for commercial purposes. AAMD Members may request to be excluded from an information exchange by request to AAMD.
AAMD reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy at any time. If AAMD makes a material change to its policy, AAMD will post a notice of the change on this page.
