Privacy Policy

I. Information We Collect

We collect “Personal Information”—information that can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address—about our users. To use some Services offered by Caritas, you must register on the Site. Each time you register, you become a “Registrant.”

Visitors can access and browse certain portions of the Site without disclosing Personal Information. Like most websites, we collect certain information from your computer or mobile device by automated means when you visit, such as your IP address, software and hardware attributes, usage data, and pages accessed. Users who browse without registering are Site “Visitors.”

1. Information You Provide

Personal Information you provide when registering; posting a profile or other materials, photos, comments, blogs, or contributions; communicating through the Site; discussing opportunities by telephone; using our mobile applications; or otherwise contacting us by phone, email, or postal mail will be stored by us. You represent that you have the right and authority to provide all Personal Information you submit.

When registering

When you register directly through the Site, we collect and store information provided on our online registration forms, including your first and last name, email address, home address or other contact information, and telephone number.

By telephone

You may provide Personal Information when you contact us or use Services offered by telephone. This may include your name, email address, home address, telephone number, financial information, information about the opportunities you seek, and references.

Through the Site, email, postal mail, or chat

You may provide information through online communications, groups, blogs, comments, discussion forums, payment platforms, telephone, email, postal mail, chat, photographs, or other Site features. We collect and store the Personal Information you provide through these channels. You are responsible for obtaining consent from references before providing their personal information to us.

2. Information Provided by Others

Background-check providers

To protect the safety and integrity of the Site and Caritas’ business and employees, Caritas may use a third-party consumer reporting agency to conduct a background check when you use our Services. We will inform you and obtain your specific consent before such a check. Caritas may receive a copy of, or otherwise have access to, the completed background check.

Service providers used in connection with our Services

If you engage a Client or Provider through Caritas or the Site, that Client or Provider may provide us Personal Information about you or your affiliates or acquaintances, including information relating to your transactions with them.

Other sources

We may obtain publicly available information about you from other sources, including demographic data or information about your medical practice and registration.

3. Information You Authorize Us to Collect

Cookies, web beacons, and other technologies

We and our service providers collect information from visits to our Site to gather statistics about use and effectiveness, evaluate advertising, customize your experience, and improve our Services. Technologies may include cookies and tracking pixels. A cookie is a small data file that allows us to recognize you when you return using the same computer and browser. You can remove or block cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect your ability to use the Site.

Tracking pixels or web beacons collect standard information sent by your browser, such as browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived. Tracking pixels do not identify individual users, and their data is generally analyzed in aggregate for analytics, advertising auditing and reporting, and content or advertising personalization.

When you visit our Site or open an email, authorized third parties may place or recognize cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to provide relevant advertisements. To request that we opt you out of the collection of data on our Site used for targeted advertising on other websites, email [email protected]. This does not opt you out of generic, non-targeted advertising.

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” feature. There is currently no industry standard for responding to these signals, and we do not respond to them at this time. If this changes, we will describe the change in this Privacy Policy.

Our Site may include social-media features and widgets. These features may collect your IP address and the URL of the page you are visiting and may set a cookie. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.

II. How We Use Information

In general, Personal Information is used to perform the Services, communicate with you, and protect the safety and integrity of the Site.

We also use information to improve our Services and customize the user experience, including providing useful features and promotions based on the Services you seek. Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be aggregated for statistical analysis, trend tracking, advertising evaluation, and analysis of Site-use patterns.

III. How We Share Information

We may share information with third parties as described below. By using the Site or Services, you agree to allow us to share Personal Information in these ways.

1. With Registered Users

2. With Vendors and Service Providers

We may share Personal Information with vendors retained to perform services on our behalf, such as email services, demographic or geolocation services, background or verification checks, and payment processing. These providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.

Phone numbers collected will not be shared with third-party providers. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

4. With Affiliates and Partners

We may disclose information to affiliates or subsidiaries to provide Services, operate the Site, and for other commercial purposes. We may also share Personal Information with business partners in connection with transactions, potential job postings, placements, or related activities.

5. With Your Consent

We may share your Personal Information with a third party when you consent to the sharing.

6. Background Checks

Caritas may request background checks through third-party consumer reporting agencies. Caritas assumes no responsibility or liability to you or a third party by virtue of requesting a background check, its performance, or the results obtained by the vendor. You acknowledge that sensitive material may be included in a background check and that you are responsible for providing correct contact information to receive such materials.

7. Business Transactions

VI. How We Protect Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of information collected through the Site. However, we cannot guarantee the security or privacy of information transmitted to the Site or to us. Transmission or provision of information is at your own risk.
