Children’s Policy: NAEC’s website is intended for adults. NAEC does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If NAEC obtains knowledge that it has personally identifiable information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in its files, NAEC will delete that information from our existing files.
Cookies & Computer-Related Information: NAEC does not enable “cookies” on our website with one exception. A cookie is used in website system administration to keep track of movement of an individual user from one screen to another. This information may be used by our staff to detect and resolve website problems and to assist with customer support. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about site visitors in this process.
Our web server automatically collects information from your computer and navigation patterns when you visit our site, including your IP address, the computer’s operating system, the type of browser you use, and the specific web pages visited during your connection. We may also track data such as the total number of visits to our website and the number of visitors to each page of our website.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its performance, content, and usability.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- Pages visited and actions taken on the website
- Date, time, and duration of visits
- Referring websites or links
- Approximate geographic location
- Browser, device, and operating-system information

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to distinguish visitors and measure website usage over time. Google receives an Internet Protocol (IP) address when analytics data is transmitted, but Google states that Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses.
We use the information provided through Google Analytics in aggregated reports and do not use it to directly identify individual visitors.

We may use this information, in aggregate form, for system maintenance and to better understand how our visitors use our site and services so that we can make them better.
For California users: CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. NAEC meets the requirements of CalOPPA.
The NAEC strives to maintain current and accurate data. Any corrections or requests for information should be sent to info@naec-epilepsy.org.
The NAEC reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy. The revised Privacy Policy is effective at the time of posting to www.naec-epilepsy.org. The terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into this Site’s Disclaimer, and are subject to those terms, conditions, and limitations stated therein.
