1. Scope and controller
This Privacy Policy applies to the ASAHRS EDU website, educational-program inquiries, applications, member services, events and communications operated by the American Society of Aesthetic and Hair Restoration Surgeons (“ASAHRS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). ASAHRS EDU is the organization’s education-focused program site.
By using this website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy. This Policy does not govern third-party websites, services, payment providers, social platforms, or resources that may be linked from our site.
2. Information we collect
We collect information that you provide directly, information generated through your interaction with our services, and limited information from service providers acting on our behalf.
| Category | Examples | Typical purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and contact details | Name, email address, mobile number, postal address, professional title and organization. | Responding to inquiries, admissions administration, event registration and support. |
| Professional and program information | Credentials, licensure-related information, qualifications, interests, application and participation details. | Eligibility review, education delivery and program administration. |
| Communications and preferences | Messages sent to us, preferred contact channel, email preferences, SMS opt-in or opt-out records. | Responding to you and honoring communication choices. |
| Technical and usage data | IP address, browser and device details, referral URL, cookie identifiers and site-interaction information. | Site functionality, security, analytics and service improvement. |
3. How we use information
We may use personal information to provide and improve our educational services; answer requests; assess applications or eligibility; administer accounts, events and payments; communicate about requested services; protect the site and users; meet legal obligations; and, where permitted and separately chosen, send program updates and marketing communications.
We do not use personal information to make decisions that expand a participant’s clinical scope of practice. Program eligibility, credentials and participation remain subject to applicable law, licensing and ASAHRS review.
4. SMS and email communications
Marketing and informational communications are managed as separate choices. Providing a mobile number or email address for an inquiry, application, account, booking or event does not by itself authorize recurring promotional communications unless you make the relevant affirmative selection.
SMS program terms
If you affirmatively opt in to an ASAHRS EDU text-message program, you may receive recurring automated informational and/or marketing text messages regarding the specific program, event, inquiry or updates described at the point of collection. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase, enrollment or service.
You may revoke text-message consent at any time by replying STOP to a message. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us through the Contact page. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We retain proof of consent and opt-out records, including the date, method and scope of the selection, as needed to administer the program and meet our legal obligations.
Email preferences
If you elect to receive marketing email, you may unsubscribe through the link in a marketing email or by contacting us. Operational messages concerning an inquiry, account, application, registration, payment or program participation may still be sent where permitted. Each commercial email is intended to identify the sender, provide a valid postal address, and include a clear method to stop future marketing email.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, and to object to or limit some processing. You may also have rights relating to communications preferences. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where necessary for legal obligations, security, dispute resolution, records or other lawful purposes.
To make a request, contact us through the Contact page and identify the request, the email address or telephone number associated with your interaction, and a reasonable way for us to verify the request.
8. Security and retention
We use administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including program administration, legal compliance, records management, security and dispute resolution.
9. Contact us and policy changes
For privacy questions, requests or communication-preference support, please contact ASAHRS through our Contact page or by mail at 7380 West Sand Lake Road, Doctor Phillips, Orlando, Florida 32819. We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date identifies the latest revision.
