Keeping Your Personal Information Secure
Protecting the privacy and security of your personal information is a priority for us, and we do our best to
ensure that your personal information is always handled in a safe and responsible manner. This page explains
what information we collect and what we do with it.
What is the personal information that we collect?
We collect information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate you including your name, shipping
address, billing address, phone number, and email address.
Why do we collect personal information?
We collect your personal information in an effort to provide you with quality customer service and to
administer our business. It allows us to provide you with easy and consistent access to our products, including
your journal or membership benefit.
With whom do we share your personal information?
We are a publisher and service provider for several membership organizations and journal publishers. If you
have joined or subscribed to one of these, then we will provide them with only the
information necessary to support your subscription or membership. This
information usually includes your name and e-mail address as well as the
membership level or dollar amount of your order. Some organizations
collect information about the interests of their members; we will do
this for them if asked. Some post selected contact information for
members in a directory or will allow use of mailing lists to send you
conference announcements and special offers for related publications.
How do we secure your personal information?
We use several security methods, including physical, technical, and procedural measures, to help
safeguard your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure. In addition, we use
industry-standard technology, such as firewalls and encryption in the transmission of certain sensitive
personal information, designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your personal
information, and, as technology develops, we will take additional measures to maintain and improve security.
How do we respect your choices about your personal information?
We offer four levels of privacy preferences for you to choose from. Once you have become a customer of the
PDC, you may change your preference setting at any time by logging in through the “renew here” button. Options
are:
a. - Include my contact information in my organization’s directory and/or listserv and you may send me offers
directly related to my field of interest.
b. - Include my contact information in my organization’s directory and/or listserv, but do not send me any
related offers other than renewal notices.
c. - Do not use any of my contact information in my organization’s directory or listserv and do not send me
any related offers other than renewal notices.
d. - Do not post any of my contact information and do not contact me for any reason including renewal
offers.
(If you select this level, you will not be listed as an active member of the organization.)
