Your privacy is important to you. It’s important to us too. That’s why we won't share your information with anyone unless we get your permission first, and we will never sell your information.
We only collect private information that you choose to share with us. For example, information that you provide when you sign up for the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry or when you request details about participating in an Alzheimer's prevention study.
You can remove yourself from the Registry and unsubscribe from our emails at any time.

All you have to do to remove your information is to follow the "opt-out" link at the bottom of the emails APR sends you. Any information you give APR will remain confidential and will not be shared with any third parties, unless you specifically authorize APR to share your information.

c. Personal Information
APR collects Personal information only if you voluntarily submit it. On some pages, Users and registered members can update contact information; join APR (by providing APR with an email, first name, last name, gender, race, zip code, and area of Alzheimer research interest), or indicate interest in participating in research studies . The information collected by APR is not Personal Health Information as defined under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and its implementing regulations.

Additionally, some research opportunities might require you to complete an online consent form in order to proceed with the research opportunity.
