Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners and reviewing our Privacy Policy statement. The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners is the duly constituted authority for the regulation and control of the practice of respiratory care in the State of Arizona. Though this web portal does not request information from you directly, individual web sites you access through the portal may request specific information from you. This statement is included to inform you solely about the information that could be collected online as a result of visiting The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners itself, and not as a result of following a link from The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners to reach a State agency's website or online service. All individual agency web sites of the State of Arizona are required to contain a Privacy Policy Statement that describes what information is obtained online, how the agency uses that information, and what steps are being taken to ensure the security of customer data. Your rights to privacy are of utmost importance to the State of Arizona in building trust and confidence when conducting business through the Internet.

Online Customer Service and Alternatives

The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners offers many of the services online that you might otherwise transact in person. Our goal is to provide citizens with a more convenient and efficient means in which to interact with the Arizona government. If at any time you choose not to proceed with a transaction offered through The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners Portal, your choice will in no way affect your ability to receive benefits or services. If you prefer to apply for benefits or services in person, you may do so at 1400 W. Washington, Suite 200 Phoenix, AZ 85007

Collection and Use of Information

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners does not use "cookies" to gather information during your visit. Individual web sites you access through the portal may use "cookies", however, and are required to define their use in the separate privacy policy statement located on the specific site. The web server that hosts The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners does gather certain information about the visit automatically in a standard log file. This information never identifies you personally and consists of only the following items:

  1. The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) from which you access the website;
  2. The IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access the website; and
  3. The date and time of your access.
  4. The Page which was requested.

We use this information to gather statistics about the amount of use the site receives. Again, we do not automatically record information about you as an individual. This information is not shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated by Arizona The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners.

Although The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners does not currently use cookies, future releases may necessitate their use along with other session enhancement methods. These will be thoroughly evaluated in order to determine their benefit to both the client and the service provider before being implemented. This privacy statement will also be updated to describe exactly what information is being collected and how to disable or refuse cookies.

Information You Provide

Information collected from an application submitted online will be treated in the same manner as the information collected from an application submitted on a hard copy to The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners. The information you disclose to The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners (either through our website or directly) will generally become a matter of public record pursuant to A. R. S. ยง 39_121, et seq., which means that the agency may be required to divulge certain information in response to a public records request or in response to a warrant, subpoena, or other court order. The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners website may require that you enter personal information (e.g., your name, home address, birth date, social security number, and credit card number) when applying for certain benefits and services described on that website. Those services may also reference common infrastructure utilities that are provided by The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners. These utilities provide the agency with a means to obtain specific information or to facilitate a specific functional requirement of the online transaction being requested.

As an example, The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners maintains a central credit card payment interface that Licensees can use as part of their online services applications. This utility will accept only the pertinent credit card authorization data necessary to validate and fulfill the purchase. The cardholder's name, credit card number, and expiration date are obtained by the utility and used only to complete the credit card payment portion of the online transaction. The data is used only for the fulfillment of the payment and is not retained by The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners.

Please be assured that your personal information will be held in strictest confidence while The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners processes your online transaction and will not be shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated to any outside person or entity, except as required or authorized by law.

If you have further questions regarding how a State agency will use the information you submit online, please contact The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners.

Information Collected from Children

By statute, all State agencies must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Policy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), requiring parental consent before collecting any personal information from any individual under the age of 13. The text of COPPA is available at http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.

Security

The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners and its consultants, as developer and manager of The Board of Respiratory Care Examiners web portal, have taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its computer systems and networks. Security methods and measures have been integrated into the design, implementation and day_to_day practices of the entire Board of Respiratory Care Examiners web portal.
