Surveys

website for your voluntary participation. You understand

Third Parties
The IAS does not sell, rent, lease or otherwise knowingly
provide personal information (names, locations, email,
etc.) to vendors, suppliers or other interested third
party individuals that are not part of the IAS. However,
email addresses are available to third parties from
our Message Board pages.
Unfortunately there have been a number of cases of
exploitation of our visitors. In most cases the perpetrators
have been well-meaning sales people trying to promote
products by sending messages to email addresses harvested
from our site. In other cases, patients have been offered
sums of money to help promote products or services.
In still other instances companies have deliberately
attempted to circumvent the IAS for their own purposes.
However well-meaning (or not), we must point out to
you that these activities are highly unethical, and
in some cases illegal.
If you are contacted by anyone with a product or service
to sell, PLEASE report this to us immediately. Please
make sure you get as many details as possible (name
of person, name of company, contact address and phone
number, date, content of communication etc.). Please
forward any emails or printed materials to us. It goes
without saying that you should exercise extreme caution
in disclosing to anyone any personal details. If you
feel that you have been stalked by someone who has obtained
your information from our web site, call your local
law enforcement or police (e.g. 911) , and then let
us know.
