The unique and special issues arising from the use of web based technologies prompted AMI-SCI to develop this tailored On-line Privacy and Security Policy.  It is not the intention of AMI-SCI to provide specific medical advice but rather to provide users with information that may assist in discussions with their doctor. This augments AMI's generic principles and seeks to allay privacy fears in relation to using the AMI-SCI web site, or communicating with us by e-mail. Visitors to this site are advised that the information available on this website is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to provide a clinical diagnosis nor take the place of proper medical advice from a fully qualified health professional.

The policy aims to answer common questions and address specific issues associated with AMI-SCI's commitment to protecting your privacy within the on-line environment.
