This Privacy Policy details how we process PII, including the personal data of individuals residing in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) when they interact with our services.
If you are based in the EU or the EEA and you are interacting with Applied Radiation Oncology as a provider of services or goods, or us monitoring your behavior, then the related processing of your personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its implementing national laws.
We recognize personal data as any information related to an identified or identifiable individual. Depending on the context of your interactions with Applied Radiation Oncology, we collect and use different types of personal data from website visitors, event registrations, and others that interact with us.
Why we process your personal data
We process personal data to comply with laws and enforcement requests, to enforce applicable agreements and policies for our services, to prevent fraud, and to comply with all applicable laws; including tax and other local regulations.
Our policy towards children
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. We may incidentally process personal data of children, for instance where participants to our events travel with family or when images we capture for our gallery of videos are those of conditions suffered by children. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal data without their consent, please contact us. If we become aware that a child has registered for our services and has provided us with personal data without the consent of their parent or guardian, we will delete such information from our files.
Disclosure to Third Parties
We engage with our agents, representatives, contractors, service providers or other third parties for the following services:
If the engagement involves the transmission of personal data, we require the service provider to treat that data consistent with this Policy. A contract to protect the personal data is executed before any data is disclosed, if that vendor will process personal data of individuals in the EU/EEA on our behalf.
Applied Radiation Oncology may also disclose information in special cases when it has a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the Website Terms and Conditions of Use; or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or others. Occasionally Applied Radiation Oncology may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose such information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena in cooperation with a law enforcement investigation. Applied Radiation Oncology reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

As for safeguards to your personal data, we directly apply the GDPR provisions to your personal data.

We select carefully our processors and we require that provide equivalent safeguard mechanisms.
