When you register for a Keystone Symposia meeting, we may contact you regarding your participation in a conference (such as scheduling and logistics). Additionally, we may use your contact information, such as email address, to provide you with information regarding other Keystone Symposia conferences and other information we believe may be of interest to you, like newsletters or announcements. We may also occasionally conduct surveys by email that solicit information and feedback. Although in the majority of instances these are anonymous, we may also send surveys to scholarship and travel award winners who attend our meetings; in these cases, we may ask for names so that we may report back to our funding sources.
If you decide that you do not want to be on our mailing list, you can "opt-out" from receiving such emails by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link provided at the bottom of every commercial email. Please note that if you choose to opt-out, we will still send you email relating to specific conferences for which you register, or email that we believe is pertinent to any communication that you have sent to us, or relationship that you may have with us. If you decide at a later time that you would like to receive email announcements or newsletters from us, you can re-add yourself to our communication list.
We may also ask users of our Site to provide additional information, including gender, ethnicity, citizenship, degree, occupation, and information about scientific interests, which we may use to help foster a diverse scientific community. This information may be made available in an online networking database on our website available only to registered users.
We also accept donations from individuals through our website to support scholarships and the Keystone Symposia organization. When you make a donation, Keystone Symposia collects your name, and, if you choose to be recognized, Keystone Symposia may publish the name you indicate at the time you make a donation; however, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can indicate this at the time you make your donation. When you use a payment card to make a donation, your payment information, such as a credit or debit card, is collected and processed by a third party. If you pay by check, we may collect information to process the payment, such as your name and address. Additionally, when you donate, we may collect your email address so that you may receive email announcements or newsletters from us. If you decide that you do not want to be on our mailing list, you can "opt-out" from receiving such emails by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link provided at the bottom of every commercial email.
If you are being considered for a Board of Directors or Scientific Advisory Board position or assist with our programming activities, we may ask you to submit certain information, such as your Curriculum Vitae, resume, and letters of recommendation. If you apply for a scholarship from Keystone Symposia, we may collect information to help us choose recipients of scholarships, such as letters of recommendation.
We may post general contact information, such as name, job title, and the institution you represent, on our website, but this is information is only available to registered users. This information may also be made available to registered participants of Keystone Symposia events by scanning a bar code on the participant's badge. Some of the information you provide on our website may also be made available on our mobile application, such as your name, institute, email address, and, if you are a speaker or abstract presenter, information about your topic of presentation. Please note that information on our mobile application can be accessed by the general public.
