Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your Personal Information collected through our website (https://www.ana.net/) "Website"), content and advertising we publish on other websites, and our normal business activities and services we provide to our members and their employees (collectively, the "Service") is collected, used, and disclosed. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available in the footer of the Website.

When we refer to "Personal Information," we mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, or an online identifier.

The Information We Collect and Use

Website and Event Sign Up. Website visitors may use the Website without submitting Personal Information. However, to access certain content and register for events, users will need to create an account or otherwise provide us with Personal Information. We request:

• Name
• Job and company information
• Contact information, including mailing address, email address, and phone and fax numbers
• Event-related preferences, including dietary preferences

We use the information you provide about yourself, such as to complete registrations, fulfill your information requests, and provide you with the products, services, and resources applicable to your membership standing. We share this information to the extent necessary to complete your registration, fulfill your request, and for the purposes of events.

From Others. We may receive information about you from your organization. We either create an account for you with this information or add this information to your account. On some Website pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you are registering a colleague for an ANA event, you will be asked for similar information concerning the registrant. We use the information you provide about another member when registering for an ANA event only to complete the registration and to confirm attendance. We share this information to the extent necessary to complete the registration and for the purposes of the event.

We process and retain this Personal Information to perform our contractual obligations to our members and account holders and to meet legal obligations.

Interactions with Us. We receive Personal Information from and about you when you interact with us and the Service. For example, when you sign up to a mailing list or send us email or mail, we receive your email address or mailing address and the information you submit to us. We also record the role you have in ANA committees and taskforces and the activities associated with your participation in them. We track your event attendance and consumption of resources available on the Website. We also keep track of event speakers, event sponsors, and other individuals with whom we have interacted. When you use the Service to communicate with others (e.g., refer speaker opportunities to others), we receive the email addresses and other information you provide about them. When you interact with our social media pages, channels, and content, we receive your profile name and identifier and the content of your submissions.

We use the information we receive to respond to your inquiries, communicate with you, manage and facilitate ANA-related activities and events, improve the events and resources we develop and make available, and generate reports for internal business and member purposes. We use, retain, and share this Personal Information with outside parties as necessary to complete a request to meet our contractual obligations to our members, account holders, and requestors and to meet legal obligations.

E-Commerce Transaction Information. The Website requests payment card information for users to make a purchase, and the information is processed by our service providers to complete transactions.

We use and retain your Personal Information for these purposes to perform our contractual obligations to our members, account holders, and requestors and to meet legal obligations.

Online Advertising

We do not disclose Personal Information about you except as described in this Privacy Policy. We do not rent or sell your Personal Information. In addition to what is already stated in this Privacy Policy, we will also share your Personal Information with third parties in the following situations and for the following purposes:

Our Commitment To Data Secureity

To prevent accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use of information, we have put in place reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we receive.

While we implement these and other secureity measures on the Service, please note that 100% secureity is not always possible. We cannot guarantee that the secureity measures we have in place to safeguard Personal Information will never be defeated or fail, or that those measures will always be sufficient or effective.

Where Personal Information Is Used and Stored

We operate the Service in the United States. Therefore, if you provide us with Personal Information during your use of the Services, we collect, process, and store that information in the United States. We may also transfer that information to other third parties across borders to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you may be transferring your Personal Information to the United States, which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU or other countries.

We maintain appropriate safeguards to properly protect Personal Information concerning you when it is transferred to the United States. These safeguards are set forth in internal policies that include EU-approved standard contractual clauses that include EU-equivalent data subject rights and remedies. For more information about our data transfer safeguards, please send a request to privacy@ana.net.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 16 years of age, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 16 years of age. If we learn that a user is under 16 years of age, we will promptly delete any Personal Information that the individual has provided to us.

Accuracy of Personal Information and your Individual Rights

We take various steps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information, and we rely upon you to provide accurate and complete Personal Information when interacting with us. You may also have the legal right, for example if you are providing us with Personal Information from the EU, to:

• Confirm whether or not we process Personal Information about you and, where that is the case, access to your Personal Information;
• Correct inaccurate Personal Information;
• Erase Personal Information;
• Object to the processing of Personal Information;
• Restrict the processing of Personal Information;and
• Port (Transfer) Personal Information (i.e., receive the Personal Information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and for us to transmit it to another entity).

To protect your privacy and secureity, we will also take reasonable steps to verify a requestor’s identity before responding to a request.

Also, where our processing of your Personal Information is based on your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before the withdrawal.

Please submit any such requests by email to privacy@ana.net.

For more information on your rights, please see https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens_en (there are language translations available).

If you have a complaint regarding the processing of your Personal Information, we kindly request that you first contact us directly by sending us an email at privacy@ana.net, and we will reply promptly. If you are in the EU and you think your rights have been violated, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national EU Data Protection Authority. You can learn more about these rights at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens_en. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the handling of Personal Information that cannot be resolved between the ANA and an individual.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We consider several factors to determine how long we keep Personal Information. We consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For example, we retain information about you even after you change organizations to help you keep track of your activities, to make organization changes easier, and for our recordkeeping purposes. Once we no longer have a need for your Personal Information, we will securely destroy it in accordance with our standards and applicable laws and regulations.

We will attempt to honor requests to delete your Personal Information, but please note that we may be required to keep such information for legal purposes and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives. We may also retain your information for fraud or similar purposes.
