NMAJ may from time to time change or remove Website content, categories and services in its sole discretion. Although the Website may offer information about children’s health, it is designed for use by adults only.

III. Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Website. All user information acquired by NMAJ from Website users will be covered by this Privacy Policy, with the following exceptions:

A. User suggestions to improve products or services, business ideas, concepts, models, inventions and similar information (“Business Information”) offered to NMAJ will not be covered by this Privacy Policy, and all Business Information that NMAJ may receive from any user will be deemed publicly disclosed unless NMAJ signs and returns a written non-disclosure agreement with the specific user prior to the user’s submission of the Business Information.

B. Any information, whether NPI, PI, or PHI, that a user shares or otherwise discloses in a public chat room, message board, instant message exchange, blog, personal webpage, or similar public forum, whether via the Website, online service, or otherwise, will be deemed publicly disclosed information (“PDI”). NMAJ may handle and use all PDI as freely available public information which is outside the scope of any limitations described in this Privacy Policy.

IV. Duration of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will apply to all information collected while the Privacy Policy is posted on the Website. NMAJ may modify and update the Privacy Policy from time-to-time by posting a revised Privacy Policy to the Website. Users who do not agree with any modified or updated Privacy Policy should promptly stop using the Website.

V. Categories of Information

Depending on the user’s interaction with the Website, NMAJ may collect user information that falls into the following categories: Non-Personal Information, Personal Information, and Personal Health Information.

Non-Personal Information (“NPI”) is information that is not associated with a specific user and that does not enable NMAJ or others to identify a specific user. For example, a user’s age, gender, city and state of residence, when not associated with any other information that could help identify the user, like street address or telephone number. NPI may be collected when users visit the public portion of the Website without registering as a member.

Personal Information (“PI”) is information that identifies you as a unique person. For example, your first and last name associated with your street, city, state and zip code or telephone number or email address or other information that identifies you personally. PI is collected when users voluntarily register to be a member of the Website and may be collected when a user sends an email inquiry to NMAJ via the Website or otherwise.

Personal Health Information (“PHI”) is Personal Information coupled with information about your personal health such as a particular disease or other health condition. It is collected when users voluntarily provide both PI and their personal health information via the Website or otherwise.

VI. Accuracy and Currency of Information

You are responsible for the accuracy of all PI and PHI that you submit to NMAJ, whether via the Website or otherwise. NMAJ is not responsible for verifying the accuracy or currency of your PI or PHI. You understand that any information and/or services offered via the Website relevant to your personal situation may be based upon your PI and/or PHI, and that your PI may also become important for NMAJ to contact you. Therefore, it is important for your PI and PHI to be accurate and current. It is particularly important for your email address to be current because NMAJ will use email as its primary means of communicating with Website members and other users who have voluntarily provided PI to NMAJ .

VII. Information Collection Methods

User information may be collected in various ways. NPI may be collected via web-based technologies that track computer usage. For example, every computer that accesses the Website will be assigned an electronic file with a unique code or identifier often referred to as a “cookie” unless the user’s browser has been configured to block this type of activity. Cookies and other technologies may be used to collect information about each user’s navigational activities and selection of advertisements, sponsored links, and other similar NPI. PI and PHI may be collected via the Website’s membership registration process, user emails, and other similar means when a user voluntarily provides it. PI and PHI is not collected via the Website unless the user voluntarily submits it to NMAJ.

VIII. Use of Information

NMAJ will not share PI or PHI with any third-parties without the user’s consent with the following exceptions: (i) NMAJ may have to make incidental disclosures to third-party vendors who are providing technical or other services to or on behalf of NMAJ, including web hosting, software and hardware maintenance service providers (however NMAJ will endeavor to have all vendors sign appropriate confidentiality agreements in these circumstances); (ii) when compelled by legal requirements such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, applicable law or the like; and (iii) under special circumstances that may involve a health or other physical threat to you or others or to protect, defend or otherwise assert legal rights.

IX. Third-Party Advertisements and Links

NMAJ may display third-party advertisements and sponsored links on the Website. NMAJ cannot control how other websites may collect and use your information, and will not be responsible for the conduct or practices used by third-party advertisers or sponsors. NMAJ recommends that you promptly review the privacy policy on each website you encounter via an advertisement or link on NMAJ website.

X. Updating and Removing Your PI and PHI

You may update your PI and PHI via the Website. If you have a complaint or other issue, please contact NMAJ initially via our Customer Support link.
