Online Education Privacy Statement 

Privacy Statement
In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), accredited providers that participate in CME activities on the Internet shall have a separate privacy policy for CME activities.

The CME programs offered by the Michigan Osteopathic Association (MOA) respect and value your privacy and the confidentiality of the information you choose to share with us. We are committed to the protection of this information and will ensure your privacy when participating in CME activities on our website.

You may visit the MOA Learning Center website without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. If you choose to provide personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified) it will only be used to support your relationship with the Learning Center programs.

Awareness
The MOA Learning Center provides this online privacy statement to inform you of our privacy policy and practices and of the available choices of how your information is collected and used. This statement is available on the MOA Learning Center website with a link in the right-side navigation panel of every CME page.

What We Collect
We may collect the following information when you visit our website:

• The type of browser and operating system on which that browser is operating
• The pages that were visited and the date and time of that visit
• We use this data to better understand how our site is navigated and to modify and improve the site

We do use cookies–a small line of text stored with your web browser. Since webpage requests are stateless in that each request is a completely independent transaction, the cookies remember you between requests. No personal information is stored in the cookie.

Information Collected When you Register
If you decide to register for one of our course offerings through the the MOA Learning Center, we will collect personal information that you voluntarily share with us. This information is transferred using a Secure Socket Layer Certificate (SSL) using secure encryption technology.

In addition to using this data for registration and entry into our database, we may use this information to contact you with email updates when new material is posted to the site. You may change your status regarding this notification at any time or you can contact us to change it.

We keep confidential any personal information that you provide to us. This information includes your name, postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone number. The personal information you provide is stored in a secure location and only authorized people are able to access it. We do not share our registrants' information with other institutions, except as may be required by law.

If a fee is charged and registrants can pay online, we ask for credit card information. These transactions are encrypted with an SSL certificate before transmission over the Internet.

Information Collected When You Participate in a CME Activity
The MOA Learning Center will collect attendance and evaluation information with every CME activity. We may ask participants to complete an attestation and to evaluate the CME activity providing feedback to us on the educational value of the activity.

How We Use It
The MOA Learning Center uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate with you, to send CME credit information through email, to update you on CME offerings and topic updates, and to personalize our website for you.

Choice
The MOA Learning Center will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without notifying you and offering you a choice.

Security
The MOA Learning Center is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. As described above, we use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.

Changes in Policy
As the MOA Learning Center site changes and grows, we may collect additional information or may use information in different ways. If our information practices change, we will modify this policy statement. When it does, we will post a notice on the MOA website to inform visitors of this change.

Links to other Websites
The MOA Learning Center CME programs are housed on a server and on websites not owned by the MOA. Those websites may contain additional privacy policies that are different from ours. The MOA is not responsible for information presented on websites outside of our control.
