We are committed to protecting your privacy and security
and have explained in detail the steps we take to do

Mailing List
The IAS maintains several mailing lists, for both print
and email purposes. This information is kept confidential
and not sold, rented or leased to third party individuals.
If at any time you receive information from an individual
stating that IAS provided your name, please contact
if you are concerned over the validity of the contact.
Message Board
The IAS Message Board is provided for members and visitors
to ask questions and provide support. You are not required
to sign-up to access the Message Board on our website;
however, you are asked for your email address and name
before posting. To receive daily or digest versions
of the Message Board items, you must provide your name
(or nickname) and a valid email address. Your email
address is available for outside individuals or third
parties to send correspondence to you. If you are receiving
unsolicited emails or other correspondence, please contact
us immediately so that we can attempt to remedy the
situation. See our Message Board policy for more information.
Chat Room
Currently, the Chat Rooms located on the IAS website
are linked to other sites. Please visit these sites
to view their privacy policy.
Links
The IAS provides related and informative links for
visitors to other websites. These links are for information
only and the IAS is not responsible for the privacy
of the websites that the IAS provides links to. Please
check with each website for their privacy policy information.
Surveys
The IAS will have surveys from time to time on the
website for your voluntary participation. You understand
that we may use this information but that individual
identifying information (name, address, email address)
will not be published, but masked or aggregated with
other information
Third Parties
The IAS does not sell, rent, lease or otherwise knowingly
provide personal information (names, locations, email,
etc.) to vendors, suppliers or other interested third
party individuals that are not part of the IAS. However,
email addresses are available to third parties from
our Message Board pages.
Unfortunately there have been a number of cases of
exploitation of our visitors. In most cases the perpetrators
have been well-meaning sales people trying to promote
products by sending messages to email addresses harvested
from our site. In other cases, patients have been offered
sums of money to help promote products or services.
In still other instances companies have deliberately
attempted to circumvent the IAS for their own purposes.
However well-meaning (or not), we must point out to
you that these activities are highly unethical, and
in some cases illegal.
If you are contacted by anyone with a product or service
to sell, PLEASE report this to us immediately. Please
make sure you get as many details as possible (name
of person, name of company, contact address and phone
number, date, content of communication etc.). Please
forward any emails or printed materials to us. It goes
without saying that you should exercise extreme caution
in disclosing to anyone any personal details. If you
feel that you have been stalked by someone who has obtained
your information from our web site, call your local
law enforcement or police (e.g. 911) , and then let
us know.

with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of
related assets or corporate division or other fundamental
