Arizona Medical Board Privacy
Policy
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 http://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.

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.
