SITC Privacy Policy
Community Rules, Etiquette and Privacy Guidelines
Last updated: Aug. 3, 2018
Thank you for being part of our community. To ensure the best possible experience for all members, we have established some basic guidelines for participation.
By joining and using this community, you agree that you have read and will follow these rules and guidelines. You also agree to reserve discussions and shared files and content to that are best suited to the medium. This is a great medium with which to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in an ongoing conversation. Questions should be directed to our Membership Department via the Contact Staff link on this site. Technical questions on association management issues should directed to our help desk via email at info@sitcancer.org.
Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. If you have questions, contact the help desk. In order to preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate membership in this community for anyone who violate these rules.
The Rules
- Do not challenge or attack others. The discussions and comments are meant to stimulate conversation not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
- Do not post commercial messages on any discussion list, resource library entry, or other area where others might see it. Contact people directly with product and service information if you believe it would help them.
- Use caution when discussing products. Information posted on the lists and in the libraries is available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
- All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited. Do not post anything that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.
- Please note carefully all items listed in the disclaimer and legal rules below, particularly regarding the copyright ownership of information posted.
- Remember that other participants have the right to reproduce postings to this site unless you specify otherwise.
- Post your message or documents only to the most appropriate lists or libraries. Do not spam several lists or libraries with the same message.
All messages must add to the body of knowledge. We reserve the right to reject any message for any reason.
Discussion Group Etiquette
- Include a signature tag on all messages. Include your name, affiliation, location.
- State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject.
- Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information, and put your response before the original posting.
- Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that everyone can benefit from.
- Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals--not to the entire list. Do this by using the "Reply to Sender" link to the left of every message.
- Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list. Instead, use the web interface to change your settings or to remove yourself from a list. If you are changing e-mail addresses, you do not need to remove yourself from the list and rejoin under your new e-mail address. Simply change your settings.
- Warn other list subscribers of lengthy messages either in the subject line or at the beginning of the message body with a line that says "Long Message."
- Do not publicize employment opportunities/job postings on a SITC CONNECT community. If you are looking to advertise an open position, please visit the SITC Job Board or contact SITC at info@sitcancer.org for more information regarding how to do this.

Collected information is used to contact the user regarding the matter addressed in the “Contact Us” form.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to remember certain user information. Cookies are electronic identifiers that are transferred automatically to your computer through your browser that allow our computers to save certain information you provide us and store information about you so we can recognize you when you visit the Web Site in the future. This allows you to avoid logging in more than once, which saves time, and create a customized web site that fits your needs. You may, at any time, disable or refuse to accept cookies by changing the preferences or settings on your web browser. If you choose to disable cookies, you will still be able to use the Web Site. However, you will not be able to fully take advantage of certain automation and other functionality features available.
We may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes, to improve the products and services we provide, or to save your settings and to provide customizable and personalized services. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your personal information. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. If you disable cookies, it may interfere with the proper functioning of the website.
Additionally, be aware that if you visit other, unrelated websites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Third parties and other unrelated websites may also use their own cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.
Finally, we may occasionally enable and implement various analytic tools, such as Google Analytics, which is an analytics tool provided by Google to collect and process collected information and data consisting of certain telematics about your use of our Web Site. Google sets and reads cookies to collect such Collected Data and your web browser will automatically send such collected information and data to Google. Google stores and uses this data to provide us with reports that we use to improve the Website’s structure and content. For more information on Google Analytics, please see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Automated Information
When you visit our Web Site, we automatically collect information from your browser or your mobile device, such as Internet Protocol (IP) address or unique device identifier, cookies, and data about which pages you visit in order to allow us to operate and provide the Web Site and our services. This information is used to protect the Web Site and our services and to keep the Web Site secure, analyze and improve our Web Site and services and understand how the Web Site works and for the other purposes described in “How We Use Personal Information,” above.
We may use automated decision making in processing your Personal Information for some services and products. You may request a manual review of the accuracy of an automated decision if you are unhappy with it. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.

This information may also include personally identifiable and business information and whatever information or comments you may post on such platforms, but only to the extent that you voluntarily provide it to us. Anything you post on a social media platform or site is public information and will not be treated confidentially. Your use of social media platforms is governed by the privacy policies and terms of the third parties that own and operate those platforms and not by this Policy. We encourage you to review the terms contained in this Notice.
How We Protect Personal Information/Data Security
This Notice, along with our Rights and Responsibilities notice, reflects a comprehensive approach to privacy and data security that complies with applicable Privacy Directives and generally accepted best business practices. We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to help secure your Personal Information and prevent it from being lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized manner, altered or disclosed during collection, storage, and processing. The specific privacy and data security measures we use incorporate the following guidelines, as applicable:
• No sensitive Personal Information such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, passport, and social security numbers, is stored on our servers other than as required to perform a function for which the user provided such information, and in such cases where such information is provided, such information exists in our servers only for such transitory or other short period as is needed to perform such function, at which time is then purged from our servers;
• We follow generally accepted best practices for secure software development;
• All data is stored on physically secure hardware;
• Personal data is secured behind network firewalls and access requires login credentials;
• All data processed through web sites is encrypted in transit;
• In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have policies in place to promptly notify affected parties; and
• Data security is regularly audited by third parties.
While our security measures seek to protect your Personal Information in our possession, no security system is perfect and we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances or that any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Web Site cannot be circumvented.
The majority of communications on the Web Site, including any submissions through available forms, are sent through the standard HTTP protocol and may be delivered using regular e-mail. Information sent over HTTP is not encrypted. E-mail, while convenient, does pose some risks (e.g., e-mail is not a secure form of communication, is unreliable, can be forwarded, etc.).
If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into the Web Site or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator only if required under applicable law.

If you wish to access, view, modify, update or erase your Personal Information as it exists in our records, please send an email to info@sitcancer.org.
