Privacy Policy

What AAMIBlog collects, why, and how to reach us about it.

This policy explains what personal data AAMIBlog collects, why it is collected and how a reader or contributor can exercise their rights. It covers the website itself and correspondence sent to the editorial team.

What we collect

  • Information you send us — name, email address and the content of a message or submission.
  • Technical data — pages viewed and basic device information, used to understand which topics are read.
  • Contributor records — the contact details and drafts of authors who publish with us.

How long we keep it

Messages are kept while a conversation is active and for a short period afterwards. Drafts from contributors are kept while a piece is in progress; if it is not published, the draft is deleted on request.

Who sees it

Access is limited to editors and, where relevant, the technical service that hosts the site. We do not sell data and do not share it for advertising. Disclosure happens only where the law requires it.

Your rights

You may ask what data we hold about you, request correction or deletion, or withdraw consent for future contact. Requests go through the contact page and are answered within the period set by applicable law.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection and administrative access is restricted. No system is perfect: if you believe your data has been mishandled, tell us and we will investigate.

Changes

This policy is updated when our practice changes. The version published on this page is the one that applies.

Editorial note. This article is general education, not a procedure and not professional advice. Before you change anything in your own setting, check the current standard, the manufacturer instructions and your organisation's policy, and involve the people responsible for clinical safety. This site carries no outbound promotional links.
