The Prostate Cancer Education Council Privacy Policy

The Prostate Cancer Education Council (PCEC) has always been committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of personal information about the men who participate in PCAW screenings. We are proud of our privacy practices and want you to know how we protect this information. The following outlines how we handle confidential information.

How We Protect Your Information

PCEC has always considered the protection of sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI) to be a foundation of screening site trust and a sound business practice. We employ extensive physical, electronic and procedural controls in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology. We consider personal information to be confidential. We protect the privacy of that information in accordance with federal and state privacy laws, as well as our own company privacy policies.

Within the PCEC we restrict access to PHI to those individuals who require it in order to provide services to our screening sites and their participants. PCEC employees all receive training specific to our privacy policies. The PCEC does not disclose any nonpublic personal information about your screening participants, except as permitted by law.

Electronic and Data Privacy

The PCEC uses a variety of proven protections to maintain the security of your information. For example, we use firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures. We employ physical, electronic and procedural controls in keeping with industry standards and practices.

Research

The PCEC takes thorough measures to protect privacy and to obtain appropriate consent and authorization from individual participants to use information about their health, test results, or other personal information. Participants may, at any time, revoke their authorization if we have not already acted on that information by contacting the Prostate Cancer Education Council toll-free at 1-866-477-6788 or by mail: 5299 DTC Blvd., Suite 345, Greenwood Village, CO 80111.

This Notice of Privacy Policy is subject to change. We may change the terms of this notice and our privacy policies at any time. If we do, the new terms and policies will be effective for all of the information that we already have about participants, as well as any information that we may receive or hold in the future.
