Privacy Policy/Disclaimer/Advertising Policy/Funding
PRIVACY POLICY:
It's important to us that you have come to
the Self chec Web site.
We are committed to protecting your privacy rights and will not collect
personal information about you when visiting this site. Also, when you
give us your email address for your personal reminders, stories, donations
and other communications, we will not collect or sell your information
for commercial purposes. That's our promise to you.
In order to improve the Self chec Web site for you, as standard practice, we automatically collect and maintain statistical information from our site's data logs that concern traffic flow and volume. This information consists of (1) the name of the domain from which the visitor accesses the Internet; (2) the Internet protocol number; and (3) the date and time the Self chec Web site is visited. We do not use "cookies", a file placed on a visitor's hard drive that allows the Web site to monitor the individual's use of the site. No attempts are made to identify individual users unless illegal behavior is suspected. We also monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information that may cause damage to the Web service. We focus on Web site security so that this service will remain safe and available to you when you need it.
DISCLAIMER:
As important as it is for you to check yourself for those cancers listed
on the Self checWeb site and to practice healthy lifestyles, it is even more important for you to see your doctor or healthcare professional
annually to determine if you are at greater risk than others for certain
cancers or other diseases, according to your family history. If you are,
your doctor will help tailor the national cancer advisory guidelines on
this site to your individual needs.
The information on the cancer pages of this site is based on the newest information from the national cancer advisory organizations, including, but not limited to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society. We recognize that the national cancer advisory organizations sometimes do not agree about specific cancer guidelines, often making it confusing to the public about what to do. That is why it is so important for you to consult a healthcare professional to advise you in the healthy choices you will make.
Some links on our prevention pages will take you to valuable resources to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. When visiting these external Web sites, please make sure you read their privacy policy. Although we are careful to choose who to link to, Self chec is not responsible for external Web site content and information.
There is always new information being published. The folks at Self chec strive to update our Web site in a timely fashion with the latest, proven information as it becomes available. Please check back here often for our updates. Remember this is a win-win partnership for each of us.
ADVERTISING POLICY: Self chec does not host or receive funding from advertising.
FUNDING: Self chec receives some private funding from individuals and in-kind services. We are looking forward to receiving additional funding from foundations, individuals and partnerships, etc.
