Website Policies

Who We Are

Wisconsin Professional Homecare Providers (PHP) is a non-profit professional organization for independent nurses providing private duty nursing and skilled home care in Wisconsin. This page explains how our website collects, uses, and protects information, and the general policies that apply when you use wisconsinphp.org.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, address, phone number, email, nursing license type, and registration details when you join as a member, register for the annual conference, submit a job board request, or contact us. We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type and pages visited, to keep the site working well.

How We Use Your Information

Information is used to process memberships and conference registrations, operate the members-only area and job board, send organization emails such as renewal reminders and conference updates, respond to questions, and improve our website. We do not sell or rent personal information.

Google Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files placed on your device, to collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and general location. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can decline cookies in your browser settings or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Our site also uses cookies needed for core functions such as member login sessions.

Forms and Registration Data

Forms on this site, including membership, conference registration, contact, and job board request forms, store the information you submit so our volunteer board can process your request. Please submit only the information requested and do not include sensitive health information in website forms.

Payments Through PayPal

Online payments for membership and conference registration are processed securely by PayPal. You may pay with a credit or debit card without creating a PayPal account. Wisconsin PHP does not receive or store your full card number or banking details. Payments are subject to the PayPal privacy policy and user agreement.

Member Accounts

Member logins for the members-only area are managed through our membership system. Keep your username and password private. We store the account information needed to verify your membership status and provide member benefits.

Email Communications

We send emails related to your membership, the annual conference, job board notifications you have opted into, and organization news. You can ask to be removed from non-essential emails at any time by contacting us.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only with service providers that make the website work, such as our web host, form and payment processors, and email tools, and only as needed to provide those services, or when required by law.

Data Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including security plugins and encrypted connections, to protect information on this website. No website can guarantee perfect security, so please use a strong password and contact us right away if you believe your account has been compromised.

Data Retention

We keep membership and registration records as long as needed to operate the organization and meet legal and accounting requirements, then delete or archive them.

Children

This website is intended for adults, including nurses and families arranging care. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where the law allows. Contact us at PHP.Wisconsin@gmail.com and we will respond as soon as we can.

Links to Other Websites

Our site links to outside resources such as state agencies, ForwardHealth, and partner organizations. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites.
