Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners Privacy Policy
Privacy
Thank
you for visiting the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners
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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners 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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners 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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners 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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners 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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners 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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners.
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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners
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.

Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners and its consultants
have taken several steps to safeguard the
integrity of its computer systems and networks.

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 Board of Osteopathic Examiners
website.
