Privacy Policy

The American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) is committed to maintaining your trust, values your privacy, and recognizes the sensitivity of your personal information. We work toward protecting the privacy of users of our website. We have crafted this Privacy Policy to address concerns you might have, and to assure you that if you give us personal information, we will treat it carefully and appropriately.
 
Basic Confidentiality Policy
Where personal information is required to use or interact with the website, it is our policy that this information — such as your name, postal or e-mail address or telephone number — is private and confidential. The personal information you provide to ABN is stored in a secure location, accessible only by appropriate staff, and is used only for the purposes for which you provided it, such as to reply to a question or to send requested materials.

We never provide members’ e-mail addresses for third-party usage. Members’ postal addresses may occasionally be shared with third parties to provide you with information relevant to your membership and/or career.
 
Release of Information to Third Parties
Personal information collected as a function of the ABN website will not be released to third parties except to further the purpose for which you provided it or if such release is required by law.
 
Collection and Use of Information
The ABN website requires individuals to provide certain personally identifiable information in order to use certain features and functions. By providing such information, you consent to our collection and use of it, as described in this Privacy Policy.

ABN may use your contact information to get in touch with you regarding the status of your membership, registration or any orders you may place. You may also be contacted by ABN regarding additional services and features, or we may request your feedback about your experience with APAPO. If you prefer that we not use your contact information as described in this paragraph, please send an e-mail with the subject line “Unsubscribe”.
 
No Computer Tracking of Identifiable Information
Our website does not track, collect or distribute personal information about visitors. We regularly compile aggregate statistics that show the number of visitors to our site, the requests we receive for particular information on the site and the Internet service providers (ISPs) that those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used by internal ABN technical support staff to improve the website in an ongoing effort to provide better information and services to the public. Usage statistics in aggregate form are also provided to the institutions that license content that is delivered on the website.
 
Third Party Websites
The ABN website may provide you with links to other websites, although we do not necessarily advise that you are linking to another website. In the event that you choose to access such websites, ABN is not responsible for any actions or policies of those sites. Further, please note that the third party’s privacy policy and security practices may differ from ABN standards. ABN assumes no responsibility nor does it control, endorse or guarantee any aspect of your use of the linked site. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of such a party before providing personally identifiable information to it.
 
Changes in Our Privacy Policy
ABN reserves to make changes to our Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of our policies. We may also contact you by e-mail with changes.
 
Website Security
ABN uses website security measures consistent with current best practices to protect its website, e-mail and mailing listservs. These measures include technical, procedural, monitoring and tracking steps intended to safeguard data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.

Credit card information is transmitted using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption. Member and purchaser information is a high priority and we use our own protective measures, as well as the capabilities of our software and hardware vendors.

We realize there can be incidents of misuse or unauthorized program incursions, as almost every website, service and user encounters. In those instances, our goals are to move quickly to isolate the problem, ensure or restore proper functionality and minimize any inconvenience to our users. As appropriate and necessary, ABN will notify the relevant authorities of these incidents of misuse or unauthorized program incursions of the ABN website.
