The Consortium's Web Site Privacy Policy

E-mail
When you register for MA Health Data Consortium events through our web site, we add your e-mail address to our database to receive the Consortium’s e-mail announcements and its What’s NeWWW e-mail newsletter. However, your privacy is important to us and we will not sell your e-mail address to third parties. You may opt out of receiving e-mail from the Consortium by clicking here.

Web Site Hit Tracking
We collect information about which pages on our site are frequently viewed. The vendor we use for our e-mail communications (Constant Contact, a subsidiary of Roving Software) to those on our mailing lists allows the Consortium to monitor activity (e.g. opening documents & clicking through to specific web pages) by e-mail address. These data are used solely to monitor the usefulness and relevance of our content. For information about this vendor’s Privacy Policy, please click here.

Secure E-Commerce
The MA Health Data Consortium web site is enabled for secure e-commerce. VeriSign provides security of all of our on-line credit card transactions, but on the pages carrying that information only. For further information about SSL encryption and secure storage as provided by VeriSign, please visit their web site at www.verisign.com. If you are not comfortable using the Internet for e-commerce transactions, we will gladly handle them via more traditional methods of exchanging credit card information (i.e. U.S. Mail, by telephone and/or fax or in person at events) and recommend you contact us directly to do so. Our contact information is provided in the footer of every page on this web site.

Content Reuse and Linking

No material may be copied from our site and posted on another site or published in any print source without our explicit permission and with full attribution (citation) as provided by us. However, we are a collaborative organization and we encourage others to link to our site freely. As a courtesy, we would appreciate learning of any new links to our site. Please send notification to the Webmaster.

Links to Other Sites
The Consortium web site includes many links to external web sites. Inclusion of these links does not constitute an endorsement of the other sites and is included as a convenience only. Every effort is made to maintain the currency of these external links, however, if you discover a link that is broken, please contact the Webmaster. Thank you!
