Security

  • We take seriously the trust you place in us to protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Information. We have implemented a series of safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data integrity, and to ensure that only authorized persons who need to access your Personal Information can do so.
  • For example, NP Preceptor stores Personally Identifiable Information on one or more secure servers and has implemented measures to protect against unauthorized access. Users have restricted access to ONLY the data that they have permission to access. User access to personal accounts is controlled by using one or more Authenticated Authorization practices such as, for example, one-way encrypted passwords.

Potential Use of Aggregated De-identified Data

  • NP Preceptor may combine and aggregate Personally Identifiable Information from a sufficiently large group of individuals in a non-individually identifiable format to create “Aggregated De-Identified Data” when NP Preceptor has the right to do so. Aggregated De-Identified Data does not contain any information that could be used to contact or identify you and is not personally identifiable to you and is not created from Personal Information that we are not permitted to use (for example because you have not given us your consent or Express Consent (where applicable) to do so). Aggregated De-Identified Data may be used by NP Preceptor for our legitimate business purposes, so long as those purposes wouldn’t negatively impact you in an unfair manner.

Request for Voluntary Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information

  • You may choose to voluntarily disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to third-party service providers. We urge you to make such disclosure choices carefully. If you choose to use your Personal Account to voluntarily disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to any individual or entity other than you, you must provide Express Consent that identifies the specific information to be released and to whom it is to be released. NP Preceptor will not release or disclose any portion of your Personally Identifiable Information without your Express Consent and assumes no responsibility or liability for any such release as directed by your Express Consent. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and statements of any third-party service providers, or other entities, with whom you direct us to disclose your Personal Information.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Personally Identifiable Information

  • Protecting your Information also requires your compliance with certain basic security practices. We cannot secure any Personally Identifiable Information that you release on your own, that you request us to release or that is released through another third party to whom you give account access.
  • You must safeguard your user name, password and other authentication information that you use to access our services. Do not disclose this information to any individual, third party or entity.

You may also object to how we are using your Information and ask us to stop. As a reminder, we will comply with your request, but if there are other legitimate reasons for us to continue to process or use your Personally Identifiable Information (and those reasons would not seriously impact your rights or freedoms), we may still be able to do so. Any written request for correction or access to data that is denied will result in an explanation in writing.
