What Information is Collected and How is it Used? top
Although we may collect certain information from you, we will not disclose your name, telephone number, credit card or other personal information to any other companies or individuals unless you authorize us to do so or except where needed to deliver a service or product requested or ordered by you. In addition, we will always give you the opportunity to access and correct your personal information at any time. Some of our websites require registration to access all of the site's information and features, although all that is typically requested is an e-mail address and some basic information about you, such as job function.
How We Protect Your Personal Information top
We
will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. Whenever you provide sensitive
information, we will take reasonable steps to protect it, such as encrypting
your information with secure server software (SSL) before your Web browser
software sends it to us. Once the data reaches our site, the same state-of-the-art
security software we use to guard all of our company's essential business data
protects your personal data as well. If credit card numbers are collected,
they are used only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing
purposes.
Our websites may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control
the policies and practices on these third-party websites, we encourage you
to review their applicable privacy policies.
How We Derive Information Independently from Your Use of the Site top
Aside from any information you may actively disclose to us, there is other, less obvious, information, which we might obtain from you. We may use such information for internal purposes such as to improve the content of our Web pages and/or to customize the layout of our pages for each individual according to their preferences. In addition, we may track your account history regarding your participation on the Web site. Our system also automatically collects information about the areas visitors frequent on our website. We use this aggregate information to understand how our members as a group use the services we provide so that we can improve our Web site. Furthermore, we may share such aggregate statistical information with our partners, affiliates or other outside companies. Some examples of how we aggregate such information are as follows:
Cookies
As you probably know, "cookies" are small
pieces of information that some websites store on your computer's hard drive
when you visit them. Like many other websites, we use cookies for various reasons.
Cookies enable us to provide you with a better experience by allowing us to
understand what areas of the website are of interest to our visitors. These
cookies do not track individual information.We may also use cookies when you
register for membership on our site. In this situation, a cookie will store
useful information that enables our website to remember you when you return
to visit us. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to
modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case
basis. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still access
most of our websites, though you may lose some of the conveniences of our
Web pages.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you begin service with an Internet Service Provider.
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and
to audit the use of our site. Each time you log onto our site and each time
you request one of our pages, our server logs your IP address. Although
we log your session with us, we will not normally link your IP address
to anything that can enable us to identify you. However, we can and
will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to
enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service,
site, users or others.
Computer Information
We query your computer automatically for information about
the computer or operating system you are using such as the speed
of your Internet connection or error messages you may have received.
We may do so in order to fit our services to your individual needs
and to diagnose problems you may be having with our website.
Geographic Location
We may gather information about your geographical location
by determining where your computer is located. We do this in
order to provide either localized service or to provide faster
service by sending your server localized content.
Other Information
We may require other information for tracking
or verifying compliance with our policies, abiding by federal,
state and local laws and for editorial and feedback solicitation
purposes. In addition, from time to time, we may use your
information for new, unanticipated uses, such as notification
of new services, announcements and general communications.
If our information practices materially change at some
time in the future, we will post such change to the site
before we use your data for these new purposes. If you
are concerned about how your information is used, please
periodically check this privacy policy.

Upon your request, we will provide you with any unique identifying or personal information that we maintain about you and will make any appropriate changes you provide us.
When We May Be Forced To Disclose top
We may disclose user information in special cases when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property or the rights or property of our users or others. We also may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Finally, in the event of a merger, sale of all or substantially all of Cross Country Healthcare's assets or a consolidation we reserve the right to transfer such personal information to a third party who agrees to abide by this Privacy Policy and use such personal information only for the purposes it was originally provided.
Opting-Out top
If at any time you object to our use of your personal information, including use of your email address, you may stop that use by email request to privacy@crosscountry.com .
Security top
The importance of security is a top priority for us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your Internet connection to our servers. We also take great care to protect user-information off-line. All of your data is handled only by authorized personnel and our database servers have a backup system to prevent loss of data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure and we will not be held liable should a third party illegally obtain your personal information. While we have made a great effort to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Our policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond our control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
