New Jersey Cancer Trial Connect (NJCTC), owned and operated by The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), respects the privacy of every person who visits our website. NJCTC collects, uses, and stores information about you for the sole purpose of providing you with cancer clinical trial information, whether you submit your information by registering online or by phone. We are not affiliated with any advertisers. Other than service providers who support the operations of the Web site and Call Center on our behalf and as may be required by law, we do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your private, personally identifiable information to any outside organization.
NJCTC collects data about how our site is searched to study how you use our site and to allow us to respond to your needs most effectively. We track the data in the form of the domain name of the server you are using, the date, time, duration of your visit and the pages searched. We may provide our editors with information that may be useful for developing new features and services for you.
If you choose to register with us, we store your personal information in a separate, secure database. It is handled only by Call Center personnel and our Website managers who are thoroughly trained in maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of your information. We ask for your zip code so that we may provide you with clinical trial information closest to your home and save you some of the inconvenience of travel.
We may use the information that we collect to measure your interest in and use of different features of the website and cancer clinical trial information. We may aggregate our data for research, scientific study, and development of support programs tailored to the interests of our users. We may publish this data for purposes of cancer care and research.
We do not disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party, generally. However, it is possible that an unlikely situation could arise where we would be forced to do so, and while the possibility is remote, we will describe those situations so that you are aware of them. They include the following: in response to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order; during an emergency when someone’s physical safety may appear to be at risk; to take precautions against liability; or to protect the security or integrity of the Website. Again, the possibility is extremely remote, and we have multiple safeguards in place to protect your personal information.
By using our Website, you agree to our collection and use of the information described above. Please check this page periodically for updates or changes to our privacy policy, so you will always be aware of what information we collect, our uses and disclosures.
