Privacy Policy Statement

Thank you for visiting the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners website and reviewing our Privacy Policy Statement. The Board's website provides convenient access to various information about the Board including an online directory of licensed psychologists, a listing of disciplinary actions taken by the Board, meeting minutes, etc. This website does not request information from you directly. All individual agency websites of the State of Arizona are required to contain a Privacy Policy Statement that describes what information is being obtained online, how that information will be used, and what steps are being taken to ensure the security of customer data. Your rights to privacy are of utmost importance to the State of Arizona in building trust and confidence when conducting business through the Internet.

Online Customer Service and Alternatives

The Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners offers many of the services online that you might otherwise transact in person. Our goal is to provide citizens with a more convenient and efficient means in which to interact with Arizona government. If at any time you choose not to proceed with a transaction offered through the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners website, your choice will in no way affect your ability to receive services. If you prefer to obtain forms or services in person, you may do so at the Board's office.

Collection and Use of Information

The Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners does not use “cookies” to gather information during your visit. The web server that hosts the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners does gather certain information about the visit automatically in a standard log file. This information never identifies you personally and consists of only the following items:

  1. The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) from which you access the website;
  2. The IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access the website; and
  3. The date and time of your access.

We use this information to gather statistics about the amount of use the site receives. Again, we do not automatically record information about you as an individual. This information is not shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated by the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners.

Although the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners does not currently use cookies, future releases will necessitate their use along with other session enhancement methods. These will be thoroughly evaluated in order to determine their benefit to both the client and the service provider before being implemented. This privacy statement will also be updated to describe exactly what information is being collected and how to disable or refuse cookies.

Information You Provide

Application forms downloaded online will be treated in the same manner as an application form obtained directly from the Board. E-mails and information you disclose to the agency (either through this website or directly) will generally become a matter of public record pursuant to A. R. S. §§ 39-121, et seq., which means that the agency may be required to divulge certain information in response to a public records request or in response to a warrant, subpoena, or other court order.

Access/Accuracy

To the extent that you have provided personal information, the State of Arizona needs to maintain accurate information about you and the benefits/services that you may be applying for and/or personal inquiries. This state agency provides a means of contact on its web site either by email or phone should you need to update or correct such personal information. The state will make reasonable and prudent efforts to incorporate your changes as soon as possible.

Third Party Disclosure

Third party organizations contracted with the State of Arizona may provide certain services available on the state’s behalf. Personal information collected through this website and/or over-the-counter may be provided to third party service providers to help the state deliver benefits and services. The state will take prudent steps to ensure that third-party organizations are obligated to secure and protect personal information on the State’s behalf.

Information Collected from Children

By statute, all State agencies must comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Policy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), requiring parental consent before collecting any personal information from any individual under the age of 13. The text of COPPA is available at http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.

Systems and Network Security

The State of Arizona and its consultants, as developer and manager of the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners website, have taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its computer systems and networks. These steps include, but are not limited to individual authentication, the security of transmitted data, security monitoring, auditing, and encryption of your information. Security methods and measures have been integrated into the design, implementation and day-to-day practices of the entire the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners web portal.

Other External Links Disclaimer

When you link to another site, you are no longer on the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners and this Privacy Statement will not apply to other sites.

The State of Arizona is not responsible for and has no control over the policies or content of any third-party sites.

Neither the State of Arizona, nor any agency, officer, employee, or contractor of the State of Arizona warrants the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information published by this system, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or services linked from this system, and shall not be held liable for any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of such information. Portions of such information may be inaccurate or outdated. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from this system does so at his or her own risk.

Notifications to the Public

In the event of a security breach of personal information and after relevant law enforcement agencies have determined that notifications to the public will not impede a criminal investigation or threaten state and/or national security, the responsible State Agency, Board, and/or Commission will notify its clients/recipients in the most expeditious manner possible (i.e., first class mail and/or email) that is in compliance with federal and state laws.
