Minors
MSH Sites are not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information to or on the MSH Sites. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on the MSH Sites or through any of its features, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or username you may use.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information
We encourage you to correct and update your personal information by updating it in your online profile. You may also request corrections and updates to your personal information by emailing privacy@medicalstaffholdings.com. Upon your request, we will provide you with any unique identifying or personal information that we maintain about you as required by law and will make any appropriate changes you provide. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. Residents of certain states, such as California and Nevada may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see Your State Privacy Rights for more information.
Your State Privacy Rights
State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information.
-
California Residents’ Privacy Rights. If you are a California resident, the processing of certain personal data about you may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other applicable privacy laws.
If you are a California resident, you have the right, subject to certain exceptions and other laws, to request information regarding MSH’s collection, use and disclosure of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. You also have the right to request that we delete certain information. MSH may deny your request to delete, in accordance with the CCPA, in order to comply with its other legal, regulatory, and accounting obligations.
To request what information MSH has collected or shared about you, or to request that MSH delete your information, please send an email with the subject line, “California Privacy Rights” to privacy@medicalstaffholdings.com or call us toll free at 1-888-382-2799. In the body of your email or in your voice message, please state your first name, last name, mailing address, email address and telephone number. We will use this data to locate your profile within our system. If you are a California resident, MSH will respond in accordance with the CCPA and related regulations. If you are not a California resident, you do not have any rights under the CCPA and your request may be denied.
If an authorized agent of a consumer submits a request to know or request to delete, the agent must submit a writing to MSH that is signed and dated by the consumer. The consumer’s first name, last name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number must be included on the signed authorization. The signed authorization must expressly state that the agent is authorized to submit requests to know and requests to delete on the consumer’s behalf, receive the consumer’s personal information in response to a request to know, and to receive communications on the consumer’s behalf related to the requests.
You will not receive discriminatory treatment or retaliation if you or your authorized agent exercise your rights under the CCPA.
Under the CCPA, we are required to tell you if we “sell” or “share” information. A “sale” means to share with a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. “Share” means to share with a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. Please note we do not currently “sell” or “share” your personal information.
-
Nevada Residents. Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt-out of certain personal information sales. Nevada residents may email questions or opt out of any future sale of their information by emailing us at privacy@medicalstaffholdings.com. Please include “Nevada Privacy Rights” in the Subject line of your email. However, please note we do not currently sell data triggering that statute’s opt-out requirements.
-
Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah Residents. Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah each provide their state residents with rights to confirm whether we process their personal information, access and delete certain personal information, and opt-out of personal data processing for targeted advertising and sales. Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia also provide their state residents with rights to correct inaccuracies in their personal information, taking into account the information’s nature processing purpose, and opt-out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise any of these rights please send an email with the subject line, “Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or Utah Privacy Rights” to privacy@medicalstaffholdings.com. In the body of your email please state your first name, last name, mailing address, email address and telephone number. We will use this data to locate your profile within our system.
Data Security
Security is a top priority for us. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the MSH Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the MSH Sites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the MSH Sites. 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.
