The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (“NCCN”) has created these policies to demonstrate its commitment to privacy. It discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site (the “Service”). You can generally visit the Service without submitting any information about yourself. If you send us e-mail, respond to a survey, or otherwise subscribe to one of our on-line publications or email newsletters, then naturally we will have your name and e-mail address. We will use them only to reply to your message or forward the requested material. We do not share this information with any other partners, affiliates, or members of NCCN or with any outside organization.
Log file data
The Service collects domain names of site visitors, as well as aggregate information about site traffic and server load. We use this information to maintain and improve our Web site. We also store IP addresses and host names for auditing and security purposes.
Cookies
The Service uses transient “cookies” during a site visit but does not gather information from a user’s computer. The “cookie,” which is a small text file stored in temporary memory, is used by our Web application for usability purposes and to comply with subscription preferences that our visitors have given us.
The Service also uses persistent “cookies” on a limited basis to measure the effectiveness of its Web advertising. These “cookies” expire after 30 days and each page on which they are placed is noted by a small icon and message. You can turn off cookies in your browser preferences at any time without affecting site performance, if you wish to do so.
Online comment forms
Please note that NCCN will not intentionally share the contents of any e-mail feedback or comment form with any third party. However, due to the nature of electronic communications, we cannot and do not provide any assurances that the contents of your e-mail will not become known or accessible to third parties.
WE URGE YOU NOT TO PROVIDE ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR YOUR HEALTH TO US VIA ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION. IF YOU DO SO, IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Other sites
Our privacy policies apply only to your use of the Service. The Service contains links to other sites, including sites that may indicate a special relationship with us. While we do not disclose personally identifiable information to those operating these linked sites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. You should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what information that site may be collecting about you.

The Service provides you with the opportunity to receive communications from us. Once you have decided to receive such communications, you may later decide to stop receiving them. You may also send an e-mail message to Abdalian@nccn.org or send mail to the following postal address:

Just as with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, we may change the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policies at any time by posting revisions on the Service.
You agree to review the Privacy Policies each time you use the Service so that you are aware of any modifications made to these policies. By accessing or using the Service (as it is defined in the terms and conditions), you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement as posted on the Service at the time of your access or use, including the Privacy Policies then in effect.
