Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Autism360 protecting your privacy is important to us. We understand you may have questions or concerns regarding your personal information and how it will be used. With this in mind, we have developed this Privacy Policy. To make this Privacy Policy easy to find, we make it available from the home page of the Website at, www.Autism360.org (including all pages hosted by or on behalf of Autism360).

Applicability of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies solely to information we collect through the Website.

Information Collection and Use

We ask that you not provide to us any personally identifiable information, but to register only with a first name or alias, which will appear within the Website as you use it and on printed reports. To the extent that you provide any "personally identifiable information" (i.e., e-mail address or other identifying information) along with your alias, our staff may be able to link that to your medical data. If so, we will take reasonable efforts to ensure that that link is used only for the purpose of responding to your communications. We generally do not maintain a permanent accessible record of that link. If you live in a very sparsely populated postal code area and the first name of the subject of the data is uncommon and recognizable we suggest that you pick an alias to preserve complete anonymity. Free anonymous email addresses can be obtained from several internet service providers that can be found by searching on the Internet for "free email". The information you provide to us is subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants or orders.

Some of the information we collect via the Website is gathered and maintained through the use of "cookies" and other methods. A "cookie" is a small file that is saved on your computer and that contains information about you, such as your user name and password. As a result, we are able to (a) recognize you when you access the Website so that you do not have to re-enter your personal or other information each time you visit the Website, (b) customize and personalize the content we make available to you, (c) maintain the "state" of your current visit (e.g., to maintain a list of your most recent searches), and (d) alert you to new features.

In addition we may collect certain non-personal data in connection with the Website. For example, we may collect information on the browser that you use to access the Website, the operating system that you are running, what items you clicked on the applicable web page, how long you viewed a certain page, and information about the website you accessed immediately before you accessed the Website. We may aggregate your non-personal data with the non-personal data of our other users or other non-personal data collected offline. We also collect and analyze general traffic patterns within our Website to help maintain the flow and content of the Website, and we may use some or all of this anonymous aggregated information to support our commercial activities or for any other reason.

We may from time to time send information or offers to the email address you provide to us. If you prefer not to receive such email, please follow the procedures set forth at the end of each such e-mail explaining how to have your email address removed from the applicable email list. Alternatively, you may contact us to "opt-out" of receiving such email.

We do not collect any personally identifiable information except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by you. Except as specified in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise authorized by you, we will not disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party, unless required to do so by la; provided, however that we may (a) use such information to support our user satisfaction initiatives, and (b) and we may disclose such information to other companies provided that such third party agrees to comply with the provisions of our Privacy Policy with respect to the use of your information.

Information from Children

We do not knowingly solicit, collect or retain information provided by children under eighteen (18) years of age. If we have received information from any unsupervised individual under age 18, please let us know and we will delete it.

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of such information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to attempt to safeguard and secure the information we collect, including, but not limited to, forms authentication and password encryption. However, no safeguards or security procedures are completely effective. We urge you to take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal data, which should include never sharing your username and password with anyone.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in our discretion. If we modify this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Website, which will take effect immediately upon posting. It is your responsibility to periodically review this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Website shall be deemed your acceptance of any revised Privacy Policy.
