Privacy Notice
CRSA does not currently collect personally identifiable information at this site except to the extent that your Web browser provides such information to our Web server, such as the site from which you linked, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, or the type of browser you are using, and except to the extent that you provide such information to us, whether in an e-mail message or otherwise. CRSA will use personally identifiable information only for that specific purpose for which you submitted it, except that we may use the information that we obtain from this site in an aggregated form, such as to measure the usefulness and popularity of our site.
A “cookie” is a small text file generated by a Web site’s server and placed on a user’s hard drive. Cookies enable the site and your browser to interact in such a way that the site is able to present you with the most appropriate options and to customize services to your interests, based on your previous use of the Web site. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information in an area of the site so that you do not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area.
Because the early uses of cookies to track users navigational habits were not disclosed to users, their use has raised significant privacy concerns. However, most Web sites now use cookies to improve your navigational experiences.
Your browser is probably set to accept cookies; however, if you are concerned about cookies, most browsers now recognize when a cookie is offered, and permit you to opt-out of receiving it. The “help” function on most browsers will have information on how to prevent your computer from accepting cookies, how to find out if you have received a cookie, and how to disable them completely, if this is what you want to do. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of Web sites that use cookies will not function properly when you view them.
CRSA reserves the right to change this policy at any time by posting a new privacy policy at this location.

Privacy Policy
This document sets forth the Privacy Policy of CRSA (the ‘Privacy Policy’) for this Web site, (the ‘Site’). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities or other CRSA Web sites.
CRSA adheres to the European Union Safe Harbor principles regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from the European Union.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All personal information (“personal information” is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. CRSA reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide notice of material changes on the home page of the Site. If CRSA sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or CRSA (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by or merged with another entity, CRSA may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent, but CRSA will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on this Site.
Entities collecting personal information
Personal information on this Site is collected by CRSA.
Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as registration to visit one of our congresses, CRSA may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, CRSA may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When registering, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users, and prevent abuse of our system, we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third-party sources.
How your personal information is used
CRSA collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the congress you attend.
CRSA may collect information about the use of the Site, such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. CRSA may use this aggregate, non identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.
Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on a secure server that only selected CRSA personnel have access to via password. CRSA encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to CRSA .
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on a secure server and is accessible only to selected CRSA personnel. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information.
Use of cookies
When you visit this Site, you can browse the Site and access important information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our Site, we use ‘cookies’ to track your visit. A cookie is small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables CRSA to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)
While CRSA uses cookies to track your visit to our website and our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, CRSA does not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for our website to “remember” the unique identifier that you select when you register for various activities on the Site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer, linked to your Registration Information, and your navigation path around the Site will be tracked. We associate this data to understand how our Site and services are being used so we can understand our customers and offer appropriate products and services.
