Health Workforce Solutions LLC Privacy Policy

At Health Workforce Solutions LLC (“HWS”) we recognize that privacy is important. This Policy applies to all of the services offered by HWS (collectively, HWS's "services").

HWS adheres to the US safe harbor privacy principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement.

Information we collect and how we use it
Our resource database currently does not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide
When you first log in to the HWS resource database, we ask you for occupational and workplace setting information. This helps us understand what resources and links are most useful for different occupations and settings.

Cookies
When you visit our resource database at healthws.com or healthws.net, we send one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, you may need to re-enter your occupation and setting if you do this.

Log information
When you use our resource database, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

User communications
When you send email or other communication to HWS, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.

Links
HWS may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality and accessibility of our content.

Other sites
This Privacy Policy applies to web sites and services that are owned and operated by HWS. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results or links from within. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.

HWS only processes personal information for the purposes described in the applicable Privacy Policy and/or privacy notice for specific services.
Choices for personal information

At some point in the future, when you sign up for a particular HWS service that requires registration, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You will be able to decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case HWS may not be able to provide those services to you.

Information sharing
HWS will not share personal information with other companies or individuals outside of HWS. We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term. Such information does not identify you individually.

Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.

Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to HWS employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Data integrity
HWS processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Enforcement
HWS regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or HWS's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site or by writing to us at Privacy, HWS Enterprises LLC, 1806 Belles Street Suite 9B, San Francisco, CA 94129. When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is HWS's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between HWS and an individual.

Changes to this policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
