Personal Information Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.

  *   Personal information is gathered for the sole purpose of maintaining membership and meeting registrations, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
  *   We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
  *   We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
  *   Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date. 
  *   We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

  *   We will make readily available to members information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
  *   We may periodically sell your personal information which may contain, but is not limited to, name, and email address to third parties that the organization deems appropriate for its members.

Code of Conduct
Presenters, exhibitors, staff, members and other attendees at ASNR events should strive to create a professional, collegial, harassment-free environment that is welcoming to all.  Meeting attendees are expected to behave in a courteous, professional, and civilized manner and to respect volunteers, Executive Office staff, convention center/hotel staff, and one another.

Conduct that is unprofessional, offensive, or harassing is unacceptable, in both personal and electronic interactions at all ASNR events. Since ASNR does not have the resources to police conference-related events, formal or informal, ASNR cannot assume responsibility for the actions of any member or event attendee.

ASNR Meeting Cancellation Refund Policy
Cancellations received on or before the posted deadline will incur a $50 administration fee. All cancellations received after the deadline will not be eligible for a refund. Cancellations must be submitted in writing to the ASNR Executive Office at info@asnr.com.
