The tracking systems include deriving data by tallying page views throughout our site and capturing information on the type of browser being used to view the site, tracking what pages you have visited while on the site, and tracking what computers respond to a CJP survey. This information enables us to better provide educational programming and to respond to our users’ needs and is gathered solely on an aggregate basis.

CJP may gather information on our users in the following ways:

Registration

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) from you unless you provide it to us knowingly in connection with an educational activity. For the registration process, CJP may require some information, like name, e-mail address, and profession, while other information requested will be voluntary and optional. Information collected in the registration process is never shared with third parties in a personally identifiable way.

Usage Tracking

CJP uses traffic analysis software on our servers to track user traffic patterns throughout our site.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that resides only on your own computer and that can be accessed only by the server that originally created the cookie. A cookie cannot store or send back any information to CJP that you have not specifically and voluntarily provided while on a CJP site, or that is not among the information mentioned above that is contained in every user’s browser (i.e., domain name, browser type). We use cookies only so that we may tally the number of unique users who visit our site, and potentially to permit greater personalization of the site to your preferences and specifications.

  1. Sharing of the information

CJP may provide aggregate Non-Personal Information (NPI) to third parties. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of the Website and the activities they conduct while on the Website. We might for example inform a pharmaceutical company (that exhibits at a CJP conference or sponsors non-CME symposia held in conjunction with a CJP conference) that “25% of conference attendees/participants are medical oncologists” or that “10% of our conference attendees/participants work in an academic setting.”

CJP discloses your “limited PII” which does not include your professional affiliation/institution, address, or contact information to third parties who solicit and/or manage non-CME symposia held in conjunction with CJP’s conferences. CJP requires any other organization that we retain or engage to provide support services to us to conform to our privacy information pertaining to “Sharing of the Information” section of this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. CJP also provides Aggregate NPI to third parties who exhibit at CJP conferences.

Third party vendors are prohibited from using NPI or “limited PI” contained in pre-registration and attendee lists to:

  • Engage in activities that would violate any fiduciary or contractual relationship; any applicable local, state, national, or international law; or any regulations having the force of law, including but not limited to operating an illegal lottery or gambling operation, stalking or making threats of harm;
  • Transmit Content that is inaccurate, harmful, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, racist, violent, offensive, or harassing;
  • Causes duress, distress, or discomfort to another;
  • Is otherwise objectionable to CJP, the conference sponsor;
  • Violates or infringes anyone’s intellectual property rights;
  • Constitutes electioneering, such as exhortations to vote for or against any candidate for public office;
  • Is misleading, incomplete, or incorrect related to any aspect of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care;
  • Implies a relationship with or endorsement of CJP;
  • Solicit for any for-profit venture, operation, or effort.
  • While information is critical to CJP’s ability to provide high quality service to you, our most important asset is the trust that our visitors place in how we provide that service. Keeping our visitor information secure, and using it only as our visitors would want us to, is a top priority for all of us at CJP. Consequently our privacy standards are designed to, on a commercially reasonable basis:
  • Collect and use only the minimum information necessary for us to deliver high quality service to users, to administer our business, and to let you know of products and services that are available from CJP and trusted third parties;
  • Protect the information our visitors share with us, maintaining strong standards of security and confidentiality;
  • Require any other organization that we retain or engage to provide support services to us to conform to our privacy standards.

CJP does not share PII with any third party except as outlined in the “Sharing of the Information” section of this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use or as necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements. Please note that CJP does not control the practices of our educational partners or sister organizations. We encourage you to read the posted privacy policy statement whenever interacting with any web site.
