    • Information about third parties, such as references or contacts, that you provide to us if you have their express written consent to do so.
  • Demographic information: 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.
  • 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.

How Information is Collected

By joining The Scrub Society, you voluntarily and willingly provide The Scrub Society 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 Scrub Society website or otherwise used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should not become a member of The Scrub Society 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 Scrub Society public messaging or pages, this information may be collected and used by others.

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 Scrub Society account. Like other passwords, you should choose one that is known only by you. The Scrub Society 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 Scrub Society uses to provide better, more customized services.

Profile Information

Once you become a User, you may provide additional information to your The Scrub Society 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 Scrub Society.

Customer Service

We collect information when you interact with The Scrub Society’s customer service personnel in order to accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.

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 Scrub Society, as well as to deliver The Scrub Society and third-party advertising to users both on and off The Scrub Society site.

Security

The Scrub Society secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure using appropriate data security policies and controls. Since the internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to The Scrub Society.
