Information We Collect

      You can browse our website without telling us who you are or giving us any personal information. When you interact with us through your computer, our website does record certain non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our website.
      SMAC does collect personal information when you register with us to make a donation, to purchase merchandise or to participate in an event. We ask for information such as your name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, date of birth, whether you are a cancer survivor and your gender. Once you provide us with this information, you are no longer anonymous to us.
      Additionally, our website employs "cookies," which are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser. We use "cookies" to perform three functions: to let us know how long you are logged on to our website and to automatically log you out if you are inactive for more than thirty minutes; to store your user ID and password so that when you return to our website you won't have to re-enter some or all of that information; and to provide us with statistics regarding what pages of our website you visited, and how long you spent there.
      You may configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent. However, when accessing an area that requires a password for entry, cookies are not optional, and continued paths through the password area will not continue if you opt to reject cookies.

Use of Information

      SMAC does employ persons or entities to perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling merchandise orders, sending postal and e-mail and processing credit card payments. Such persons or entities have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use such information for any other purposes.
      SMAC has contractual arrangements with certain partners to provide information and services through our website. Each of these partners may set and access cookies on your computer through our website. The use of such "cookies" by each of these partners is subject to their respective privacy policies, not the privacy policy of SMAC We believe these partners share a similar commitment to privacy and urge you to review their privacy policies when visiting their sites. However, we cannot be responsible for their treatment of your information.

Security

      SMAC works to protect the security of your information during transmissions by using industry standard practices, including firewalls and Secure Sockets Layer software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers during registration confirmation, although the entire credit card number is transmitted to the appropriate credit card company during processing.
      While we use several different techniques and policies to ensure the security of your personal information from unauthorized access and use, you should be aware that absolute security does not exist for information on the Internet. In this regard, it is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
