PAHCS believes that trust is an important component of the service we provide to our visitors and members. To ensure that we earn and keep that trust, PAHCS makes every effort to protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes the steps we take to make sure that when you use the PAHCS website, you can focus on your visit. Using the latest security measures and technologies, we keep a tight watch on the information you give to PAHCS to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of visitor and member information.

The PAHCS website logs IP addresses (your unique Internet address) for system administration purposes. The PAHCS website sometimes uses "cookies" to automatically recognize members and returning users. A cookie is a small file on your hard drive that allows us to display your previously defined search criteria and notification preferences whenever you visit our site. You can block cookies by changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help), but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to you (e.g., saved preferences).

The use of certain features requires that you supply personal information like your name and e-mail address. At your direction, we may use this information to send you our e-mail newsletter. This information may also be used to contact you when necessary. You may opt-out of receiving future mailings at any time. Unless you give explicit permission (e.g., you opt to receive e-mail from partners and third parties), the PAHCS website has a strict policy against sharing or selling your personal information (such as your e-mail address or mailing address), except when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety or property of PAHCS, our users, or others.
