The ESA does work with third parties and users will have to visit the third party’s privacy policy to understand how they collect and protect data. If you choose to opt-in for future updates your information will be kept in a secure database. This will allow The ESA to be able to alert you to news and updates if you choose to fill out a questionnaire or form from the website, through a social media page, or to contact The ESA by any other means that information will be kept in a secure database and utilized on the website, social media, or other promotional materials. Personal information such as email addresses or phone numbers will only be stored so The ESA can contact you about the information you supplied, or if you agree via a form or questionnaire for another individual in the Edwards’ Syndrome community to reach out to you directly. By using The ESA platforms and website, you consent to the use and disclosure of information. As a further explanation of this privacy statement, The ESA has prepared this disclosure regarding The ESA’s privacy practices.
