WEB WOC Nursing Education Program (“WEB WOC”) is committed to the privacy of your information. This Privacy Statement is meant to help you understand the information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage it. This Policy applies to our websites, available at https://webwocnurse.com and https://catalog.webwocnurse.com (the “Site”) and any related products, services, communications, or apps (the “Services”). By using our Site, or by purchasing our products or Services, you are acknowledging that you have read, understood, and accept this Privacy Statement, the Cookie Policy, and our Terms of Service .

In this Privacy Statement, any use of the words "you," "yours," or similar expressions refers to users of this Site and our Services, as well as any other individuals whose information we collect and process. References to "we," "us,” "our" or similar expressions refer to WEB WOC.

This Policy does not extend to anyone whose personal information is not under our control or management, including data that is collected by other websites that you may visit before or after this Site, and which are not governed by this Privacy Statement. We are not responsible for the data protection or privacy policies of any other websites, and accept no responsibility or liability for those policies. Please carefully check the policies of other websites and services you use before you visit or submit personal information.

We will only use personal information to provide you with information, products, or services you have requested, or for other purposes set out in this Policy. Personal information does not include aggregate information from which individual identities have been removed.

1.2       Information from Children. WEB WOC does not knowingly solicit or collect any personal information from anyone under 13 years of age, and children under 13 are not permitted to register for or use our Site or Services, including by subscribing to receive information from WEB WOC. Parents can contact our customer service department to access, change, or delete the personal information that has been submitted by a child. If we become aware that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it. 

1.3       Cookies and Tracers. We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across the Site and different Services and devices. You can control cookies through your browser settings and other tools. You can also opt-out from our use of cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for third party advertising. You can learn more about our use of cookies on our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Information

WEB WOC may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To deliver our educational Services that you have purchased;
  • To process any financial transactions you make on our Site;
  • To allow you to log into and access your WEB WOC account;
  • To provide customer service and our support services;
  • To keep your information secure, and to be able to verify your identity and contact information;
  • To alert you about product updates, special offers, updated information and other news and services from WEB WOC;
  • To ensure our website and services are relevant to you and your interests;
  • To help us create and publish content most relevant to you; and
  • To contact you in response to sign up forms or requests such as our chatbox.

How Information May Be Shared

WEB WOC will never sell or rent any of your personal information, and we will never share your personal information publicly without your consent. However, we may share your information with certain trusted third-party services to help us provide, improve, promote, or protect our products and Services. For example, we may partner with other companies to process your payments or store your data to support delivery of our products or Services. Whenever we share data with third-party services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we’ve authorized, and that they protect your personal information at least to the same standards we do.

We also reserve the right to disclose personal information when it is reasonably necessary to conduct our business, protect WEB WOC’s legal rights and property, and to comply with the law or law enforcement. Otherwise, your personal information is never shared with any individual or other organization.

Protection of your Personal Information

We take the security of your personal information seriously, and follow industry-standard practices to protect the data we collect and process. WEB WOC has therefore put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information that WEB WOC collects. Access to personal information will be restricted to our authorized personnel who require the information in order to perform their duties properly. In addition, access will be limited to only that information that is strictly necessary for the performance of those duties.

Remember, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen, or where we have given you a user name and password for access to certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping the user name and password confidential. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so WEB WOC cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Transfers

Because WEB WOC is a US-based company, your information may be collected and processed in the United States. Additionally, as part of the products and services offered to you through our Site, the information which we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored in, one or more countries other than where you currently reside. For example, this may occur if any of our servers or third-party service providers are located in a country other than yours. These countries may have different data protection laws that are similar to your current residence. However, if we transfer your information in this way, we will put in place appropriate protection to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Privacy Statement.

European Union Residents

Data protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal information from residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:

  • Performing the contract we have with you: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligation to deliver our Services, and assist with any questions you may have.
  • Consent: we may ask your consent to process your personal information in some situations.
  • Legal compliance: Sometimes the law says we need to collect and use your data.
  • Legitimate interests: This is a term in data protection law that allows us to process your personal information if we have a fair reason to use your data, and only if we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in running our business, including for delivering our Services, fraud prevention, quality assurance, and marketing purposes, as long as our use of your data does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.

Email Notifications

We try to keep email communications to a minimum, and give you the ability to opt in to any marketing communications we send. For example, we may send you email relating to the Services we offer. You may also elect to receive certain marketing email communications, in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt out at any time.  You can always opt out of receiving email information or mobile device notifications from WEB WOC other than communications informing you of the completion of a purchase, user registration, correction of user data, or change of password, by logging into the Site and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile, or by sending us an email at partners@webwocnurse.com stating your request. If we have sent you a promotional email or mobile device notification, you may send us a return email or mobile device communication asking to be omitted from future email or mobile device distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to WEB WOC as a result of a purchase of the Services, product service experience, or other transactions.

Retention

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary to perform the relevant processing activity for that information, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us. This is a case by case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data for as long as you maintain an account on our Site so that we may process and deliver your orders. We may also be legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. When the relevant processing activity has been completed, we may destroy your data, or alternatively anonymize the data in such a way that you are not personally identifiable, either directly or indirectly.

Control of your Information

Users or Site visitors residing in certain countries, such as the EU, are afforded certain rights regarding their personal information. Except where an exception or exemption applies, these rights may include the ability to access, correct, and/or request deletion of your personal information. While these rights are not globally applicable, our customers are entitled to access the personal information that we hold about them. You can review the personal data you have provided us by accessing your account profile on our Site.[9] To ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up to date, update your account profile on our Site, or contact us through the email address below regarding any errors or updates affecting the personal information that we may hold.

You may also send us an email at course.support@webwocnurse.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that we hold about you. To protect your privacy and security, WEB WOC may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to, correcting, or deleting data. We will generally respond to your request for information within thirty days, unless, for reasons beyond our control, a longer response time is necessary, in which case, you will be advised accordingly. Please note that we may retain certain information as required by law or as necessary for our legitimate business purposes.

Questions, Comments, or Complaints

If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Statement, or if you are not completely satisfied with this Privacy Statement or its application by us, we invite you to convey your concerns or suggestions to us at partners@webwocnurse.com. We will reply as quickly as possible and inform you of the steps, if any, that have been or will be taken in order to address your concern or implement the suggestion.

WEB WOC strives to satisfy our customers’ and visitors’ privacy concerns. However, if you have contacted WEB WOC about your issue and are still unhappy with our response, and if you are also a resident of the European Economic Area, subject to applicable law, you may also have the right to object to WEB WOC’s use of your personal information, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. More information is available here.

Updates and Changes to this Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement is effective from 11/15/2018. We may update this Policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the Site or by sending you an email. Any updates to this Policy will not apply retroactively. If you keep using our Site or Services after a change, that means you accept this Policy.
