Emergency Health Services Federation Privacy Policy
BY PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US ON THIS WEBSITE, YOU
CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF THAT INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
Emergency Health Services Federation, Inc. (EHSF) and all of
its affiliates (“EHSF,” “us,” or “we”) respects the privacy concerns of
visitors to the EHSF website. This Privacy Policy applies only to the
information we collect on this website.
Information We Collect Automatically
If you merely browse through the EHSF website or download
information, our servers will automatically collect certain information from
you. This information includes the: (a) name of the domain and host from
which you access the Internet; (b) Internet protocol (IP) address of the
computer you are using; (c) browser software you use and your operating system;
(d) date and time you access the website; and (e) Internet address of the website
from which you linked directly to this website.
We will use information that we automatically collect to
manage and improve our website to make it as useful as possible for visitors
like you. None of the information we automatically collect is tied to
personal information you may provide to us (see below).
Information You Choose to Provide to
Us
EHSF gathers and retains personal information about you
only when voluntarily submitted by you. For example, if you choose to
complete and submit one of the forms located on our “Submit an Event” page or
“Contact Us” page, we will retain the data you submit to respond to your
inquiry and consider your request. After we have responded to your
inquiry and/or considered your request, the information you submitted will be
retained for our records. If we change the manner we use or retain personal
information you provide to us, we will update this Privacy Policy, without any
notification to you.
Personal Information as an Asset of
EHSF
The personal information you provide to us is an asset
of EHSF. If EHSF or a substantial part of our business is sold or
otherwise transferred to a third party, your personal information may be
transferred as well. We will NOT notify you of any transfer of your
personal information in connection with such a transaction.
Disclosure of Personal Information to
Third Parties
EHSF reserves the right to disclose the personal
information you provide to us WITHOUT your consent including but not limited
to: (a) as required by law; (b) to our independent contractors who host and
maintain our website and e-mail services; (c) to our franchisees, if
applicable, or distributors, but only to respond to requests by you for
information; and (d) to service providers or suppliers if the disclosure will
enable that party to perform business, professional or technical support for us.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a small text file that a website can place on your computer’s
hard drive for record keeping or other administrative purposes. We use a temporary,
72-hour cookie on this website to prevent presenting repetitive information to
you.
Security
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your
personal information. You should be aware, however, that no transmission
over the Internet, and no electronic data storage method, is 100% secure.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the personal
information you provide to us either during its transmission or its storage on EHSF’s
systems.
Links

EHSF does not endorse and is not responsible for the information practices or
privacy policies of websites operated by others that may be linked to our website.
If you decide to access a third party’s website that may be linked to this website,
you should consult that website’s privacy policy.
Children
It is not our intention to collect personal information from anyone under 18
years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you may use this website
only with the involvement and supervision of an adult.
