Privacy Policy for the Testicular Cancer Resource Center
Thank you for visiting the Testicular Cancer Resource Center (TCRC). We respect the privacy of the people who use this website, participate in our support groups, send us email, or share their experiences with us. We do not sell personal information, medical information, mailing lists, or email addresses.
Website Visitors
You do not need to register or provide personal information to use the TCRC website. Like most websites, our web server or hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information such as the date and time of a visit, pages requested, browser or device information, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address. This information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and understand use of the website. The TCRC does not use this information to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and Analytics
The TCRC does not currently intentionally place cookies on your computer or device for advertising, profiling, or tracking.
If we add an analytics service in the future, such as Google Analytics, that service may use cookies or similar technology to help us understand general website usage, such as which pages are visited, what types of devices are used, and how visitors find the site. We would use this information to improve the TCRC, not for advertising or to intentionally identify individual visitors. This privacy statement will be updated if our use of analytics materially changes.
Personal or Medical Information
The TCRC does not require users to provide personal or medical information in order to use the website. However, email or other correspondence sent to the TCRC may be retained. Messages sent to us often include medical background and questions, and keeping earlier correspondence can make it easier to respond accurately if someone contacts us again.
In some cases, particularly involving unusual medical circumstances, we may ask whether someone is willing to provide additional information or help another person at a later date. We may also receive questions for which outside expert assistance would be useful. We do not intentionally disclose personally identifiable medical information to an outside person without permission.
The TCRC does not sell personal or medical information.
TC-NET and TC-SUPPORTERS
TC-NET and TC-SUPPORTERS are group email discussion lists. Messages sent to a discussion list are distributed to other subscribers and may be retained in list archives or copied by recipients. You should therefore not consider information sent to one of these lists to be private communication.
Please do not include information in a list message that you would not want other subscribers to see or retain. Subscriber lists and email addresses maintained for administration of TC-NET and TC-SUPPORTERS are available to the list administrators and are not sold or provided to outside marketers.
Personal Stories and Other Material Submitted for Publication
Personal stories submitted to the TCRC for publication are public information once they appear on the website. They may be viewed, copied, indexed by search engines, archived by third parties, or otherwise preserved outside the control of the TCRC. Please do not submit information for publication that you do not want made public.
If you are concerned about personal information appearing in a story already published on the TCRC, contact us and we will consider reasonable requests to edit or remove information from the version maintained on our website. We cannot guarantee removal from search engines, web archives, or copies maintained by other parties.
Donations and Outside Services
The TCRC may use outside services to process donations or provide other website functions. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies. Payment information entered directly into an outside payment service is handled by that service rather than by the TCRC website.
Links to Other Websites
This site contains links to other websites. Those sites are operated independently and may have different privacy practices. The TCRC is not responsible for the privacy policies, security, or content of outside websites.
