IV. Exceptions to Maintaining the Privacy of Personally Identifiable Information
It may become necessary for ITLS to release or disclose certain Personally Identifiable Information as requested or required in connection with legal proceedings initiated by law enforcement, governmental agencies, or private parties in a civil action, such as to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver, or administrative order. ITLS may share Personally Identifiable Information it has collected as necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected fraud or other illegal activity of its users, or to enforce or apply an ITLS agreement.
V. Safe Harbor Compliance
A. ITLS adheres to Safe Harbor principles established by the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personally Identifiable Information provided to ITLS from users originating in the European Union. For more information about the DOC’s Safe Harbor framework as well as for a list of participating entities, please see the DOC-hosted website at http://export.gov/safeharbor/.
If you have questions or would like more information regarding Safe Harbor Principles, or you are a user of an ITLS-controlled website and have a specific concern or complaint relating to the collection or use of Personal Information that you entered into an ITLS-controlled website, please contact ITLS’s Privacy Officer at privacy@itrauma.org. Detailed information and procedures for resolving complaints and concerns is outlined below in paragraph J, “Enforcement” of this Section V. “Safe Harbor Compliance”.
B. Definition of Personally Identifiable Information under DOC’s Safe Harbor: “Personally Identifiable Information” (or simply “Personal Information” or “personal data”) means information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, or mailing address, and (1) is transferred from the EU by an individual who is a citizen of an European Union (EU) member country to an ITLS location within the United States; (2) is recorded by ITLS and stored; (3) is about or pertains to that individual; and (4) can be linked to that individual.
C. The Information We Gather: ITLS has built and maintains an online, password-protected ITLS Course Management System (ITLS CMS) currently being used by ITLS Chapters and Training Centres to collect electronic records of any accreditation awarded students upon completion of ITLS coursework and programs. The program serves to track all education and training activity conducted by approved ITLS faculty. The Information collected about students and faculty by the ITLS CMS reflects requirements set by the U.S. EMS accreditation entity, the Commission on Accreditation of Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE). These data collection requirements include personal and contact information (name, address, city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, country, phone, email address) and information related to the individual’s professional licensure (licensure type, license number, expiration date). In cases where a professional license number is not applicable, students are asked to provide their birth date as an identifying mechanism.
ITLS will collect Personal Information when a user opts to register for permission to access the Chapter & Training Centre Administrators Portal section of an ITLS-controlled website or when a user makes a purchase through the ITLS Bookstore. When making a purchase, Personal Information collected includes contact information and billing information.
D. Use of This Information: ITLS does not sell any of the Personal Information collected online but may use “Personal Contact Information” (name, address, city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, country, email address) collected from any part of its ITLS-controlled website, internally, for the purpose of educational outreach, monitoring effectiveness of ITLS programs, responding to student feedback, and communicating with our members, attendees, and students about future programs of interest.
All other Personal Information (collected exclusively by the ITLS CMS), including professional licensure information and/or birth date, is used exclusively to identify individual student records when tracking, maintaining and submitting electronic records of accreditation awards granted to students upon completion of ITLS coursework and programs, and will not be sold or used for any other purpose.
The Personal Information collected for Chapter & Training Centre Administrators Portal Registration and Bookstore purchases will be used by ITLS staff for internal purposes; access is restricted to a limited number of ITLS’s staff.
E. Transfer of This Information: As required by its accreditation entity in order to confer hours of continuing education to students for their participation in ITLS programs, ITLS transfers Personal Information collected via the ITLS CMS to CAPCE on a quarterly basis. Electronic records containing the Personal Information are transferred directly to a password-protected section of the CAPCE website, where it is uploaded into a CAPCE database and stored as a record of each student’s course participation. CAPCE is not currently listed on the DOC Safe Harbor website as having self-certified under DOC Safe Harbor; however, we have been assured by CAPCE that their website follows standard, controlled, safety/security procedures and uses secure socket layer encryption (SSL). The Commission on Accreditation of Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE), can be contacted directly at www.capce.org, by email to jscott@capce.org, or by phone at 972-247-4442.
ITLS as a requirement of CAPCE accreditation will submit a record of students’ course completions to the CAPCE AMS. These course completion records may be accessed by or shared with such regulators as state EMS offices, training officers, and NREMT on a password-protected need-to-know basis. Students may review their record of CAPCE-accredited course completions by contacting ITLS or CAPCE.
Please see, above, Section IV. “Exceptions to Maintaining the Privacy of Personally Identifiable Information” for the limited circumstances under which ITLS may share Personal Information.
F. Access to Correct/Amend/Delete Personal Information: Upon request from an authorized user of an ITLS-controlled website program that has provided his/her Personal Information, ITLS will grant the authorized user access to his/her Personal Information to permit the user to correct, amend or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the user in connection with his/her request to access, or where the rights of persons other than the user seeking access to his/her Personal Information would be violated. All requests for access should be submitted in writing to ITLS or emailed to privacy@itrauma.org. ITLS’s Privacy Officer will make an effort to reply to you within 10 business days from receiving a legitimate request for access from you. Please see paragraph J, “Enforcement” of this Section V. “Safe Harbor Compliance” for further details concerning ways to contact ITLS’s Privacy Officer with specific inquiries or concerns about this Privacy Statement.
G. Opt-Out Policy: By registering for, attending or otherwise participating in any course held or offered by ITLS, or one of its approved Chapters or Training Centres, the individual/user grants his/her permission for ITLS to collect and store the required Personal Information and transfer said information to its accrediting body, CAPCE. If the individual does not wish to have his/her Personal Information collected, stored, and transferred to CAPCE as described above, the individual may opt not to register for, attend or otherwise participate in an ITLS course or program.
To remove your Personal Contact Information from ITLS’s internal communications lists (email or mail) only, please contact ITLS via email at info@itrauma.org with a request for removal. Your request should indicate whether you wish to receive only email, only postal mail, or you wish to receive no communication at all from ITLS from that point forward. Within two to three business days of receiving your request, ITLS will do its best to remove your Personal Contact Information from our communications list databases (see also the paragraph above entitled “Use of This Information”).
H. Data Integrity: ITLS will only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant for the purpose for which it was collected, as described throughout this Section. To the extent necessary for those purposes, ITLS will take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use.
I. Data Security: ITLS will take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information collected from authorized users of an ITLS-controlled website from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. ITLS has put in place appropriate electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Areas of our ITLS-controlled websites that have been enabled to collect and/or store Personal Information use industry-standard secure socket layer encryption (SSL); however, to take advantage of this your browser must support encryption protection (found in Internet Explorer release 3.0 and above).
J. Enforcement: ITLS uses a self-assessment approach to assure compliance with this Privacy Statement and periodically verifies – by regular internal audit or review – that our Privacy Statement remains comprehensive and updated (as far as the types of Personal Information collected), prominently displayed on ITLS-controlled websites, implemented according to proscribed procedures, and in conformity with DOC’s Safe Harbor principles and framework. We encourage you to raise specific concerns and issues you have. ITLS is committed to investigating complaints and specific concerns it receives, and will take reasonable steps to promptly address inquiries as well as resolve complaints and disputes regarding ITLS’s collection and use of Personal Information.

VIII. Types of Information We May Collect – General
A. ITLS is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in Alabama as Basic Trauma Life Support, Ltd., doing business as ITLS in Illinois. ITLS is exempt from federal taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. ITLS is an organization with a worldwide presence dedicated to the prevention of serious injury and death from trauma through education and emergency trauma care; ITLS training programs are aimed at prehospital (or, out-of-hospital) providers. ITLS’s primary purpose for collecting, using, and archiving Personally Identifiable Information in connection with access and use of an ITLS-controlled website is to further the above-stated purposes of ITLS.
B. Types of information. Information you may provide/we may collect when you visit our site falls into two broad categories: Personally Identifiable Information (as defined elsewhere) and Aggregate Information. “Aggregate Information” is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning pages of an ITLS-controlled website that users most frequent, please see below paragraph D. “Aggregate Information.”
C. Personally Identifiable Information Please see Section V. Safe Harbor Compliance for a complete explanation of how your Personally Identifiable Information is used and stored.
D. Aggregate Information. We may collect Aggregate Information about your use of our site through cookies and similar computer/Internet technologies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive, where it is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes (such as storing user preferences). If we use cookies or other similar computer/Internet technologies, we use the Aggregate Information collected for system administration, to measure the number of visitors to our site, to improve site performance, to help us make our site more useful, to gather broad Aggregate Information, etc. If we use cookies or other similar computer/Internet technologies, they do not collect or retain Personally Identifiable Information, nor do we link Aggregate Information to Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, we do not authorize any third parties to use cookies we may create at our site for their own purposes. Please be advised, however, that sites you link to from our site may use cookies or other similar computer/Internet technologies in other ways and for other purposes. You should read and understand the privacy policy of the site(s) you link to in order to determine whether and how a particular site uses such technologies. Please note that most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. Keeping in mind technology limitations, you should have a means of resetting your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.

IX. Security
A. Security. We have in place standard security control systems designed to help prevent loss or theft and unauthorized disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information. Please see paragraph I, “Data Security” of Section V. “Safe Harbor Compliance” for further explanation.
B. Caution: Accessing a website via public wireless network When using a wireless network or transmitting from an access point within a computerized device—especially when using a public access point for which security is minimal or nonexistent—there is a risk of interception as well as mis-transmission of Personally Identifiable Information. This is true to a certain extent even in the case of employing encryption protocols. Common sense caution must be exercised by every user of the internet when entering information via public access point: No entity can make assurances as to the security of wireless transmissions via unsecured, publicly accessible or unencrypted access points.
C. Email.If you communicate with us via email, we will share your correspondence with employees, volunteers, representatives, or agents of ITLS most capable of addressing your correspondence. We will retain your communication until we believe we have provided you with a complete and satisfactory response and may subsequently retain your communication for our records. PLEASE BE ADVISED: email does not provide a means for completely secure, private communication, as email is transmitted through sites controlled by third parties not under ITLS control. Although reasonable efforts will be made to keep your information confidential, there is still a risk, and it is impossible for any entity to warrant or guarantee the security of any transmission.
D. Password-protected areas.ITLS does not warrant or represent that the information you submit to password-protected areas of our website will be protected against loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.

If we do so, the name of the third-party payment processor will appear on the Web page on which you are purchasing goods/services. You acknowledge and agree that ITLS has no control over and does not employ or manage any such third-party payment processor, and that said third party’s collection, use, and disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information will be governed not by our Privacy Policy but by the third-party payment processor’s privacy policy.
