Demographic information is information that is not unique to you in the sense that it refers to selected population characteristics, such as your ZIP code or postal code, age, preferences, gender, race or ethnicity, occupation, specialties, career history, interests and favorites.

We also collect behavioral information regarding how you use our Services and mobile applications, the areas of our website that you visit, what services you access, and information about your computer hardware and software including your IP address, geolocation, browser and operating system type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. This information is necessary for analyzing the use of resources, troubleshooting problems, preventing fraud, and improving our services.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by The Gypsy Nurse. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses.

We may also collect indirect information about you. For example, if you provide a title of ‘Mrs.’ we will assume you are female.

Information about yourself that you share. This is the information that other users see about you. This includes your profile and your contributions to discussions on The Gypsy Nurse pages and other community features The Gypsy Nurse may offer. You have control over what you share, and you can update information at any time.

Communication. We help you communicate with other users. Some of this is one-to-one, some of it is in groups, and some of it is public discussion. You decide how much or how little you wish to communicate to individuals or groups.

Of course, maintaining your trust is our top concern, so we adhere to the following principles to protect your privacy:
•    We do not rent, sell, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent, except as otherwise described in this policy or as required by law.

•    All information that you provide will be protected with using appropriate protocols and technology in accordance with our security policies and controls.

How Information is Collected.  By joining The Gypsy Nurse, you voluntarily and willingly provide The Gypsy Nurse certain information, including personally identifiable information and personal data, which we collect in order to provide the Services. If you have any hesitation about providing information to us and/or having your information displayed on The Gypsy Nurse website or otherwise used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should not become a member of The Gypsy Nurse community; and, if you are already a member, you should close your account.  Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through The Gypsy Nurse public messaging or pages, this information may be collected and used by others. More specifically, we collect your personal information in the following ways:

• Registration.   In order to become a User, you must provide us the following information to create an account: name, email address, password, username, location, years of nursing experience, and specialty. Without this minimal amount of information, you cannot create a The Gypsy Nurse account. Like other passwords, you should choose one that is known only by you. The Gypsy Nurse may request other information from you during the registration process or later to complete your full profile, (e.g., gender, level of education, etc.) that The Gypsy Nurse uses to provide better, more customized services such as language-specific profile pages and updates, better ads, and more valuable career opportunities. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an account on The Gypsy Nurse, you allow others, including The Gypsy Nurse, to identify you and to allow The Gypsy Nurse to use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement.
• Profile Information.  Once you become a User, you may provide additional information to your The Gypsy Nurse profile describing your skills, professional experiences, educational background, group memberships, and networking objectives (among other options). Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally required at registration is entirely up to you, but providing additional information enables you to derive more benefit from The Gypsy Nurse. Any information you provide at registration or in the Profile section may be used by The Gypsy Nurse as described in the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of allowing solicited professional opportunities to find you on The Gypsy Nurse, or for serving more relevant advertisements on The Gypsy Nurse. If you decide not to share certain information, you may not receive the full benefit of being a The Gypsy Nurse User.
• Customer Service.  We collect information when you interact with The Gypsy Nurse’s customer service personnel in order to accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.
• Using The Gypsy Nurse Site and Applications. We receive information when you interact with and use The Gypsy Nurse website, The Gypsy Nurse Applications (e.g. The Gypsy Nurse for iPhone, Android, etc.), and The Gypsy Nurse platform technology.
• Using Third-Party Services and Visiting Third-Party Sites.     We receive information when you use your The Gypsy Nurse account to log in or authenticate to a third-party website or application. Also, if you are logged into The Gypsy Nurse and visit a third-party site that embeds The Gypsy Nurse professional plugins, like “Share on The Gypsy Nurse” for web publishers, The Gypsy Nurse will receive information that those pages have loaded in your web browser. The Gypsy Nurse will use this information to personalize The Gypsy Nurse-provided functionality, including providing you insights from you’re The Gypsy Nurse network, allowing you to share information with your network, enabling you to use The Gypsy Nurse functionality off The Gypsy Nurse site and serving you more relevant advertising.
• Cookies.    Like most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends, to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on The Gypsy Nurse, as well as to deliver The Gypsy Nurse and third-party advertising to users both on and off The Gypsy Nurse site. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognize you as a User when you return to The Gypsy Nurse website using the same computer and web browser.

In order to access or change any of your private information (like a credit card number) or to send a message to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie.

Other technology like Macromedia’s flash can be used to place the functional equivalent of a cookie on your computer. You can control flash “local stored objects” or “flash cookies” using the Macromedia Website Privacy Settings Panel at www.macromedia.com.

You have the right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

The Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales

You have the right to direct us not to sell personal information we have collected about you to third parties now or in the future.

If you are under the age of 16, you have the right to opt-in, or to have a parent or guardian opt-in on your behalf, to such sales.

If you do not wish us to sell your personal information, please notify us at the following link where you can opt-out of having your information sold.

The Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of the rights described above.

However, please note that if the exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you our products or services or engage with you in the same manner.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

We collect various categories of personal information in connection with our services. Please review this Privacy Policy to learn more about the personal information we collect, how we collect personal information and how we use personal information. The personal information we collected in the last twelve months is as described in this Privacy Policy above.

Sale of Personal Information

We do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we:

– make available names, phone numbers and email addresses of job applicants as part of our for-fee services to our clients (e.g. marketers, hiring agencies, employers, and others); and

– allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about our website visitors directly through our services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and for our other internal business purposes.

To the extent these practices are interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see the section of this Privacy Policy with the heading “Opting-out and Unsubscribing” for more information including how you may be able to exercise your rights to opt-out.

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights

To Exercise Your Right to Know or Right to Deletion

You may request that we:

• disclose to you the following information covering the 12 months preceding your request: the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected about you and the categories of personal information we sold; the categories of sources from which we collected such personal information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information about you; and the categories of third parties to whom we sold or otherwise disclosed personal information.
• delete personal information we collected from you; or
• opt-out of any future sale of personal information about you.

 

To exercise your right to know and/or right to deletion, please submit a request by emailing operations@thegypsynurse.com with the subject line “California Rights Request”.

We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know and/or the right to deletion to that personal, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.

To Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales

If you wish to opt-out please e-mail operations@thegypsynurse.com and including “personal information request” in the subject line of the email.
