ARRT WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to the site www.arrt.org. The policy describes the information that the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists ("we," "our" or "ARRT") collects on this site and how we use it, the choices that candidates and registrants can make about personal information, and how we protect the personal information that candidates and registrants provide to ARRT.

We collect the following personal information that you submit to ARRT through your online account: email address and postal address. Credit card transactions are processed on a secure third party platform and your account information does not go through our servers. 

We may use the collected personal information (except for email address, which is described separately below) for the following purposes:

  • Contacting you by postal mail with the ARRT Annual Reports to Registered Technologists and with renewal and other information related to certification and registration, Continuing Education, examination, and other normal ARRT business.
  • Providing your postal information (if you approve it) to Continuing Education providers, employment recruiters, or professional societies.
  • Providing registration information to employers, state governments, and other organizations seeking registration verification.
  • Providing postal information to approved academic researchers.

If visitors merely browse through this site or download files, we collect certain information by automatic operation of this site’s web servers. This information includes:

  • The name of the domain and host from which the visitors accessed the internet
  • The internet protocol (IP) address of the computer they used
  • The type of browser software and operating system they used
  • The date and time they accessed this site
  • The internet address of the website (if any) from which they linked directly to this site

We may use this information, which does not identify visitors, to enhance the site experience for other visitors, candidates, and registrants.

ARRT may disclose the personal information of candidates and registrants submitted to ARRT: (a) in accordance with this Privacy Policy; (b) in accordance with the ARRT Rules and Regulations, Standards of Ethics, and Continuing Education Requirements for Renewal of Registration; (c) to comply with law, regulation, or other legal processes or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ARRT or others; (d) in emergency situations; or (e) in the event that ARRT or substantially all of our assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation, or liquidation, in which case personal information (including email addresses) may be one of the transferred assets.

If we have the permission of candidates and registrants to do so: (a) we may from time to time make their names and postal addresses available to employers for recruitment purposes or to others (such as organizations related to R.T.s and Continuing Education sponsors) who may wish to contact them; and (b) we will also include name, city, state, and certification and registration/Continuing Education information for technologists in the "verify credentials" section of this site.

Sanctioned individuals are included without choice in the online ARRT Directory.

We want to keep your personal information accurate in our records. You may correct or update your postal and email addresses through your online account. You may correct other information by contacting ARRT.
