Privacy
Thank you for visiting the Arizona Medical Board website and reviewing
the Privacy Policy Statement. Your rights to
privacy are important in building trust and
confidence when conducting Internet business.
No personally identifying information, such
as your name, address or phone number, will
be disclosed to the Arizona Medical Board or staff by simply visiting
this web site, unless you choose to provide
it. If you wish to receive a response to an
inquiry, the Board will need to know how to
reach you.
Online Customer Service and Alternatives
The Arizona Medical Board
offers access to public information online that
is otherwise available by personal request.
The Board’s goal is to provide citizens
with an efficient and convenient means to interact
with Arizona government. If at any time you
choose not to proceed with a transaction offered
online, your choice will in no way affect your
ability to receive benefits or services another
way. If you prefer to request information from
the Board in person, you may still do so.
Collection and Use of Information
The Arizona Medical Board
does not use “cookies” to gather
information during your visit unless the Board
is conducting a survey and needs the information
provided in the survey responses to produce
duplicate results. The web server hosting the
Arizona Medical Board
website does gather certain information about
the visit automatically in a standard log file.
This information never identifies personal information,
such as your name, and consists only of the
following items:
1. 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.
The Arizona Medical Board
uses this information to gather statistics about
the amount of use the site receives. Again,
this information is not automatically gathered
about you as an individual. This information
is not shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated
by the Arizona Medical Board.
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 hard
copy. The information you disclose to the Board
(either through the web site or directly) will
generally become a matter of public record pursuant
to A.R.S. §39-121, et seq., which means
that the Board 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. Please be assured that
your personal information will be held in strictest
confidence while the Arizona Medical Board processes your online
transactions and will not be shared, sold or
otherwise disseminated to any outside person
or entity, except as required or authorized
by law.
Information Collected from Children
By statute, all State agencies must comply with
the Children’s Online Privacy Policy Protection
Act of 1988 (“COPPA”), requiring
parental consent before collecting any personal
information from any individual under the age
of 13. The text of COPPA is available at https://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.
Security
The Arizona Medical Board
and its consultants have taken several steps
to safeguard the integrity of its computer systems
and networks. These steps include, but are not
limited to: individual authentication, the security
of transmitted data, security monitoring, auditing,
and encryption of your information. Security
methods and measures have been integrated into
the design, implementation and day-to-day practices
of the entire Arizona Medical Board website.
Other External Links Disclaimer
The Arizona Medical Board
website contains links to various other websites
operated by other government agencies, non-profit
organizations and private businesses. When you
link to another site, you are no longer on the
Arizona Medical Board
site and this Privacy Statement will not apply
to other sites. When you link to another website,
you are subject to the privacy policy of that
new site. Links to non-State government websites
are offered solely for your convenience. The
State of Arizona is not responsible for and
has no control over the policies or content
of any third-party sites.
Privacy Policy Subject to Change
This policy may be updated or revised periodically.
Please consult the Privacy Policy to receive
notice of any substantive changes to the manner
in which information collected is used or disseminated.
