Personal Information Collection and Use
“Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify or contact the person such information pertains to. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, telephone number, and similar data.
The AAOA does not collect PII about you except when you provide the information on a voluntary basis. The AAOA collects the PII that you provide. The AAOA may use the PII provided by you to conduct research, to improve this site, and to provide services to you. The AAOA will disclose your PII to third parties when necessary for the provision of services to you, for the protection of others, and when required by law. The AAOA will not otherwise sell, share, or rent your PII to unaffiliated third parties without your express permission.
Aggregate information is information in summary form that does not contain PII. The AAOA uses and allows third parties to use aggregate information to aid in the development or implementation of programs, products and services. For example, the AAOA may inform a potential advertiser that 15% of its journal users prefer articles on OMT. Since aggregate information does not contain PII, the AAOA will share this information without your express permission.

Users who choose to register are required to provide certain information including name, email address and content preference. The AAOA may use this information to contact you about Osteopathic.org and its services.
