Information We Collect
We collect information that personally identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable person, as well as information that does not reveal your specific identity.
- Information You Provide Directly: When you subscribe to our publications, sign up for our communications and e-newsletters, participate in surveys, register for a webinar, or communicate with us, you are no longer anonymous to us. This data may include your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, job title, industry, medical or professional specialty, education, company name, comments, requests, and survey responses.
- Automatically Collected Information: We and our service providers automatically track how you use our website and interact with our emails. This technical metadata includes device information, usage data, operating system details, and general location data.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
- The CAP TODAY website uses cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer’s hard drive that cannot read your personal files.
- We use these cookies to operate our website, identify which areas of our website you have visited so we can make those pages readily available upon your return, and understand the areas of our website you find most useful.
How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information based on our legitimate business interests, contractual requirements, or your explicit consent to:
- Respond to your specific requests and provide customer service.
- Send transactional notices for subscription renewals, administrative updates, and e-newsletters.
- Deliver targeted promotional content, marketing communications, and product information relevant to you from CAP TODAY and carefully selected business partners.
How We Disclose Your Information
We may share or disclose your personal data with the following entities:
- Sponsors and Co-Sponsors: We share your contact details and professional attributes with specific sponsors and co-sponsors of content, webinars, promotions, or events that you actively request or participate in.
- Third-Party Advertising and Personalization: Where permitted by law or with your consent, we may share your information and your responses to marketing communications (gathered through our broadcast emails or website interactions) with trusted third-party partners. These parties use this data to measure and analyze content performance, personalize website experiences, and serve you relevant information about their own products and services across unrelated websites.
- Operational Service Providers: We transfer data to trusted third-party vendors who provide operational assistance—such as email distribution, circulation management, and website analytics—under strict data protection agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any independent purpose.
California Privacy Rights Notice (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a resident of the State of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you specific rights regarding your personal information.
- Right to Know and Access: You have the right to request a disclosure of the specific categories of personal information we have collected, used, or shared about you over the past 12 months.
- Right to Request Deletion or Correction: You have the right to request that we delete personal information collected from you, or correct inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: Because we disclose your website and email engagement data to trusted business partners to provide you with relevant information about their products and services, this may be considered “sharing” or “selling” data under California law. You have the right to halt this data sharing at any time.
- How to Exercise Your Rights: To submit a request, you or your authorized agent can use our standard Contact Us Form. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and respond substantively within 45 days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
