Security, Technology, and Amendments to Policies
Security
In accordance with industry standards, we have implemented security safeguards to protect HealthEmploy and its users against unauthorized accessing, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Personal Information. Some of the safeguards may include:
Requiring passwords in order to access sections of the Website or certain data;
Employing firewalls to prevent unauthorized Website and data access;
Encrypting communications between your browser and the HealthEmploy Website through HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure);
Restricting access to Personal Information to certain HealthEmploy employees, contactors, agents, and operators; and
Requiring HealthEmploy employees, contactors, agents, and operators to agree to and comply with strict confidentiality agreements, the violation of which include discipline, termination, and criminal prosecution.
While we are always looking to take reasonable steps to improve our security, the Internet can never be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of the information transmitted to HealthEmploy. In particular, emails, messages, and other communications between HealthEmploy users are not encrypted, and you should never use these communication methods to convey personal information that you wish to keep private. Ultimately, you are responsible for protecting the security of your password and login information.
Data Breach
While HealthEmploy employs multiple security measures to maintain data security, data breaches can occasionally happen, even to the most secure of systems. In the event of such a situation, HealthEmploy will, in compliance with any applicable federal and state data breach laws, endeavor to timely notify all users whose Personal Information HealthEmploy knows or has clear reason to believe was accessed by an unauthorized person.

Your Personal Information will be processed in conformance with this Privacy Policy. However, that processing may occur in countries with different laws as regards to your privacy. By using HealthEmploy and providing any Personal Information, you consent to the transfer of data from your country to a country that may have different privacy laws. For citizens of the United States, your data may leave the territorial boundaries of the USA.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
HealthEmploy reserves the right, at any time, to change, modify, or revise this Privacy Policy and the privacy and security practices discussed herein. We will post any revised version of the Privacy Policy on our Website. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent.
