Privacy Policy

The following statement discloses the American Association of Nanotechnology, Inc., (AANano),  an affiliate partner of the International Association of  Nanotechnology (IANT) regarding the information gathering and dissemination practices.

The AANano maintains member databases that contain mailing, billing, and member profile information, as well as a record of each member's registrations for conferences. The information in these databases is used by authorized officers and board delegated organization staff to process registrations; mail invoices, renewal notices, and announcements; and respond to member inquiries. Member records are maintained as long as an individual is an AANano member and for at least three years following a membership lapse. Registration databases may be retained for up to three years.

AANano does not log any accesses from your IP address to our Web site Personal information is stored in a relational database and standard security methods are used to protect it. We require confirmation of identity before releasing information back to the user for update over the Web.

Commercial information (such as credit card numbers) is obtained using our secure Web server and may be stored on our machines for as long as is needed for processing. Such information is deleted using reasonable diligence as soon as is practical after it is no longer required, for example after the conference has occurred.

The AANano does not rent or sell email addresses. The AANano may use email addresses to contact members to answer member questions or to acknowledge the receipt of membership applications and conference registrations, to send membership renewal notices, and to send occasional announcements about AANano events to those members who have not opted out of receiving such announcements. These announcements are short straightforward messages that contain pointers to online resources where members can explore the information more fully.

The AANano may use the postal addresses of its members to mail invoices, products, and announcements from the AANano. AANano member names and mailing addresses are never rented or sold. Membership lists are sent to the members periodically.

Our site gives you the opportunity to opt out from either receiving email communications or from having your name and address made available to anyone other than the AANano. When registering for a conference, you have the option not to be on the Attendee list. You have the option not to be listed in the annual membership list.

Note: Information is always updated whenever a new conference registration is submitted or upon renewal of a membership.

This site contains links to other sites. The AANano is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
