#2: Affiliate conference organizers and societies: Members who opt-in may from time to time receive e-mailings from related conference organizers and societies regarding bioinformatics related information. Such notices might include conference announcements and calls for papers, posters, abstracts, regional affiliate news, etc. Mailings could be from non-profit organizations or academic institutions. Shared information with such groups will be restricted to your personal contact information (name, institution, email) and will not include any other details collected by ISCB from your membership registration purposes.

Such notices might include an advertisement about new hardware or software to enhance bioinformatics research, an announcement about a new book or journal, or services available to the bioinformatics community. Mailings would generally be from commercial enterprises, although some non-profits may be interested in contacting you about their products as well.

#7: Membership Directory: Members who opt-in agree to have their basic contact coordinates included in the print and/or online membership directories of the ISCB and/or FASEB.
