Privacy Policy
Annual Reviews is firmly committed to protecting the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with our organization online. The following discloses our policies for information gathering and dissemination on this Web site.
Web site Usage Information
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and administer our Web site. We use cookies and we associate Institutional IP addresses with their institutions only to track usage of the Annual Reviews site. We also track the quantity of traffic to the various areas of our site. Annual Reviews does not track what individual users read but rather how often each page is visited. This helps us to maintain a useful and informative Web site.
No Ad Servers: We have no relationships with any ad server companies.
The Information We Collect
Our order forms ask users to give us contact information that includes name, email address, email preferences to receive or not receive email, email format preference (HTML vs. Text), postal address, phone numbers, and facts about their order. In some cases, we request sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card numbers during the placement of orders.
We use customer contact information from these order forms to send the user order confirmation via email, follow-up information, as well as information about Annual Reviews and our scientific and product offerings. We may, from time to time, share or trade our customer information with other trusted organizations. If you do not wish to receive mailings, please let us know by calling us, emailing us, or writing us using the contact information provided in this policy.
Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers when ordering may receive calls from us regarding the orders they have placed, and associated product offerings.

Security Technology
Annual Reviews has made a substantial investment in the latest server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect our information assets. We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when exchanging data with our users. All data resides in a tightly controlled, secure data center. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you via the web.

Annual Reviews Surveys
We may conduct occasional online surveys via our web site or via email. These surveys are entirely voluntary and you can easily decline to participate. Participating in an online survey does not automatically add your name to subscriber lists for Annual Reviews mailings of any kind.

If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our web site periodically.
