Data Collection

The forms on our site require users to give us contact information (like their name and email address), and other personal information relating to your cancer experience. Such information may be used to provide you with personalized and matched content within the site; individual email inquiries may be forwarded to the appropriate ACS department for response. This information may be shared with our business partners on an aggregate basis only, with no identifiers. Information that is not used to directly support the service may be used in a research capacity to evaluate the benefits of this service. At ACSCSN we do not share or sell any information that could be linked to your identity.

InterNap allows us to offer a high-speed, high-availability internet connection backed by redundant network infrastructure and advanced, proprietary security technologies.

All data entered in the ACSCSN database is regularly backed up and the backup media is securely stored to prevent loss or damage.
