This notice applies to California residents and supplements our Privacy Policy. It is provided under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA").
Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the preceding twelve months, we have collected:
- Identifiers — name, postal address, email address, IP address (from membership and contact forms, and from site analytics)
- Customer records — phone number and payment confirmation records (from membership applications)
- Professional or employment information — degree, license status, institutional affiliation, and career stage (from membership and author submission forms)
- Internet or network activity — pages viewed, referring URLs, browser and device type (collected automatically)
- Inferences — none. We do not build profiles from the information we collect.
We do not collect the categories the CCPA designates as sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics, and we do not collect biometric, geolocation, or precise location data.
Sources, Purposes, and Disclosures
We collect this information directly from you when you submit a form, and automatically when you browse the site. We use it for the business purposes set out in our Privacy Policy, and we disclose it only to the service providers listed there, each of whom is contractually restricted to processing it on our behalf.
We Do Not Sell or Share Your Personal Information
The Society has not sold personal information, and has not shared it for cross-context behavioral advertising, in the preceding twelve months. We do not do so now and have no plans to. See Do Not Sell My Information. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

- Right to correct inaccurate personal information
- Right to opt out of sale or sharing (we do neither)
