Who are we?

Our organization is the Infectious Diseases Society of Ohio (IDSO) and our website address is: https://idohio.org/.

What personal data do we collect on idohio.org and why do we collect it?

We collect personal information that you provide us.

We collect personal information on our “Contact” page (e.g., name, e-mail address, and message).  Contact page information is used to help with your questions or suggestions.

We collect personal information on our “Membership” page (e.g., name, degree, e-mail address; institution / practice name, address, and phone number; fellow training program information).  Membership page information is collected to help you become a member of IDSO.  If you become a member of IDSO, your e-mail address may be added to an IDSO member e-mail list, along with your name and institution practice name, which we may use to contact you via e-mail in the future. 

When you purchase an IDSO membership on idohio.org, during the checkout process, your billing data (e.g., name, billing address, phone number, e-mail address) and credit card payment data (e.g., card number, expiration date, and card security code) are securely sent directly to the payment processor Authorize.net (https://www.authorize.net/about-us.html) in order to process your payment.  Please refer to their privacy policy for details (https://usa.visa.com/legal/privacy-policy.html).

We use WooCommerce (https://woocommerce.com/) as our e-commerce platform to assist with purchasing an IDSO membership.  As part of the processing of each order, we collect customer billing data (i.e., name, billing address, phone number, e-mail address), and the last four numbers of the credit card used and the expiration date.  We do not collect or store other credit card payment data on idohio.org. WooCommerce does not receive or store customer billing data.
