Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information.

The American Lung Association may also rent or exchange your personal information with other organizations, and we may also use your personal information and browsing history to contact you for communications and marketing purposes.

The Lung Association respects the privacy of its financial supporters and website visitors, as such, would be pleased to exclude you from its list rental and exchange program. Please inform us if this is your desire at lung.org/consumerchoice.
