Personal Information Collection by LC
Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual, other than an individual’s business title or business contact information. Personal information (e.g., name, address, age, credit card information, banking information) does not include information that cannot be associated with or tracked back to a specific individual. Information that is publicly available, such as a telephone book listing, is also not considered to be personal information.
The information LC collects is the minimum amount we need to demonstrate and maintain a service.
This could include:
- Full name
- Contact information, such as email address, postal address, telephone number, profession and place of work should you provide it.
- IP address
Your provision of personal information to LC means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not provide any personal information to LC. Failure to provide your personal information to LC may prevent us from offering you the services and/or programs you have requested. We will discuss the impacts of withdrawal of consent with you at that time.
- Members
You may fill in an application form to join LC as a member organisation. When using the form, you will be asked to provide personal data such as your name and email address and information about your organisation. If you provide personal data about other authorised representatives, we rely on you to inform those people that you are providing their personal data to LC and to make them aware of this Privacy Policy. The contacts you provide will be signed up to our e-communications that you will be able to unsubscribe from at any time. Also note that some information will be published and viewable on the site, such as Organisation name and contact information.
- Surveys
Occasionally, we conduct surveys via third party tools (such as SurveyMonkey). In addition to your feedback, you may be asked to provide personal data. The type of data collected depends on the survey. LC will use the data only as indicated in the survey.
We also gather information about the use of our website. When you browse through www.lymphomacoalition.org (“website”), our servers automatically log information about visits to this website in the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections. The server logs record statistical information, such as visitors’ IP addresses, time and duration of visit, and websites visited. LC collects this information for statistical, anonymous analysis so that we may continuously improve our website content.
Consent
LC generally collects your personal information directly from you and only with your consent. In addition, LC will not collect or use personal information about you from a third party without your express consent. If the purpose for using your personal information changes from the time since such consent was obtained, LC will advise you of this purpose before such use or disclosure.
Accuracy of Information
LC aims to ensure that any personal information provided is accurate, complete and current as required for the purposes for which the information is used. If you believe any information we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, please write or email us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
LC Use of Personal Information
LC uses your information to provide copies of our newsletter, update you with information regarding changes to our website, and inform you of events or news items that may be of interest to you.
LC may also use your personal information to permit access to the Global Information on the website.

LC may also use your information for internal research purposes.
LC keeps personal information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected.
