Privacy Policy for Clients

Advanced Health Education Center/MEDRelief Staffing is committed to protecting the privacy of our employees, our vendors, and our clients in all aspects of business operations. MEDRelief will assure the information we collect about or on behalf of individuals and facilities remains secure and protected while we provide our services. Personal information is only collected, used, and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

MEDRelief is also committed to the privacy of our web site visitors. AHEC/MEDRelief believes that privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of Internet commerce.  We will use our best efforts to assure that the information submitted to us remains private, and is used only for the purposes it was intended. Statistical information is collected about the use of our web site, but this information is not linked to any unique visitor’s personal information. This information (such as the number of visitors, page-views, and error messages) is used to assure that our site is performing properly.

Personal Information
As a health care staffing service provider, MEDRelief Staffing collects information on facility clients such as departmental contact names, addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers.  Client information is stored in a secure, password-protected database.  Information on specific facility requirements and guidelines is also stored in the secure database.

Use of Information
We use facility information to contact you regarding business opportunities and practices. We also use it to inform facilities of changes in policies, special offers, and other information that may be of use.  We also use it to provide the payroll and other human resource functions required of the staffing office.

Disclosure of Personal Information
Client facility information will never be traded, sold, or leased by MEDRelief to any external company. Facility information is only disclosed for AHEC/MEDRelief’s legitimate business purposes or as required to meet legal and regulatory requirements, for example to comply with a court order.

We may share information with our affiliates, strategic partners, contractors or other companies that we cooperate with to provide staffing services. Contractors that provide services to AHEC/MEDRelief will receive only the personal information required for the function to be served (i.e. accounting). We will also ensure that every contract we enter into with an outside source clearly outlines the obligation to protect the facility's information and live up to these principles of privacy.

Consent
Having read this policy and by using our services and providing us with your facility information, you imply your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of the facility's information as specified by MEDRelief Staffing.

If you are using our web site and you do not accept these terms please cease using the web site immediately.

MEDRelief Staffing takes reasonable precautions to ensure the privacy of the facility on the terms contained in this policy. MEDRelief Staffing uses reasonable efforts to, but cannot totally prevent, unintended disclosures by such means as hackers and other unauthorized individuals, and illicit employee actions.

Retention of Personal Information
We retain facility information as long as the facility is using our staffing services, or longer as required by law. Should the facility cease business with MEDRelief Staffing, we place the facility information in the inactive files.

Accuracy of Information
MEDRelief relies on the information provided by the facility, and strives to maintain accurate records of facility information.

Privacy Policy Questions, Concerns, and Revisions
MEDRelief takes full responsibility for the management and confidentiality of the personal information it collects. If you have concerns about this policy, or feel that MEDRelief is not abiding by it, please contact our office.
