1. About This Notice

Paradigm Healthcare Services ("Paradigm") respects privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This notice explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained and protected when you use Paradigm's website, submit an online form, apply for a position, contact us electronically or otherwise interact with our public online properties.

​

2. Information You Choose to Provide

Paradigm may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through its website or electronic communications. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

·       your name and contact information, such as email address and telephone number;

·       information included in an inquiry, request or message submitted to Paradigm;

·       employment-application information, such as your name, contact information, position of interest, availability or proposed start date, and resume or resume link;

·       other information you choose to provide when communicating with Paradigm.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal or health information in a general website contact form or ordinary email unless Paradigm has specifically requested it through an appropriate process.

​

3. Information Generated Through Website Use

Paradigm's website is delivered using third-party website and hosting technology. As with many online services, the website platform may process technical information needed to operate, secure and troubleshoot the site. Depending on the website configuration and technologies enabled at the time of your visit, this may include information such as IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, log information, security information, and cookies or similar technologies.

Paradigm will review this notice when material website technologies or tracking practices change. This notice does not represent that a particular analytics, advertising or tracking service is enabled unless Paradigm has actually configured or adopted that service.

​

4. Why Paradigm Uses Personal Information

Paradigm may use personal information for purposes that are reasonable and relevant to the interaction, including to:

·       respond to inquiries and requests for information;

·       communicate about Paradigm's services and business operations;

·       receive, assess and respond to employment applications;

·       coordinate staffing, recruitment or other legitimate business activities;

·       operate, maintain, secure and improve Paradigm's website and online services;

·       prevent or investigate misuse, fraud, security incidents or other unauthorized activity;

·       meet contractual, legal, regulatory, professional, safety or record-keeping requirements;

·       send promotional or informational electronic communications where Paradigm has the consent or other lawful authority required for the communication.

​

5. Consent and Choices

Paradigm obtains consent where required by applicable law and according to the nature and sensitivity of the information and the purpose for which it is collected, used or disclosed. Consent may be express or implied where permitted by law.

Where Paradigm sends a commercial electronic message for which an unsubscribe mechanism is required, the message will provide a method to withdraw from future applicable communications. Unsubscribe requests will be processed in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Withdrawing consent may affect Paradigm's ability to provide a requested service or continue an activity where the information is reasonably required for that purpose. Legal, contractual or record-retention obligations may continue to apply even after consent is withdrawn.

​

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website platform may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site operation, security, functionality or user experience. Additional analytics, advertising or tracking technologies may be used only if they are actually enabled in Paradigm's website configuration.

Your browser may allow you to control or delete cookies. Restricting some cookies may affect website functionality. Where applicable law or the website configuration requires a consent choice for non-essential technologies, Paradigm will use the available consent mechanism.

​

7. Service Providers and Disclosure

Paradigm may use third-party service providers to support functions such as website hosting and operation, electronic forms, email, document workflows, information technology, recruitment, accounting or other legitimate business services. These providers may process information on Paradigm's behalf or under their own applicable service terms.

Paradigm limits disclosure of personal information to what is reasonably necessary for the legitimate purpose, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Paradigm does not disclose personal information merely because another party requests it.

​

8. Employment Applications

Information submitted through Paradigm's employment application process is used to assess and administer recruitment and related employment or engagement activities. Applicant information may be reviewed by authorized Paradigm personnel and, where reasonably required, by authorized service providers supporting the recruitment process.

Submitting an application does not guarantee employment or an assignment. If an applicant proceeds through the recruitment process, Paradigm may request additional information or documentation through appropriate recruitment and credential-verification processes.

​

9. Security

Paradigm uses administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the systems used. No internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Individuals should use reasonable caution when sending personal information electronically.

​

10. Retention and Secure Destruction

Paradigm retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for applicable legal, contractual, employment, tax, regulatory, professional, investigation or legitimate business requirements. Retention periods may therefore differ by record type.

When information is no longer required and there is no continuing legal or preservation requirement, Paradigm takes reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete or render the information inaccessible using methods appropriate to the record and system.

​

11. Links to Other Websites and Services

Paradigm's website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services. Paradigm is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties. Users should review the privacy information provided by the relevant third party before providing personal information.

​

12. Access, Correction and Privacy Questions

You may contact Paradigm to ask a question about its privacy practices or to request access to or correction of personal information held by Paradigm, subject to applicable law and any lawful limitations or exceptions.
