Virginia EMS Providers Personal Information should be SECURE - OPT-Out of sharing my information
- Target:
- Virginia Office of EMS
- Region:
- United States of America
The purpose of this petition is to request that the Virginia Office of EMS and the Virginia Department of Health provide an electronic means of opting out of the sharing of our personal information to any organization or agency unless directed by court subpoena or other legally required request of governmental necessity.
The Virginia Office of EMS and the Virginia Department of Health freely share your personal information with any organization or agency that requests it. Your name, certification information, and your home address are provided so that these agencies or organizations can contact you for whatever purpose they deem necessary. There is currently no option to OPT-OUT of this information sharing and should be an option for providers to request at any time.
This would not preclude any individual or organization from searching the provider database; however, this information is limited to your name, certification level, expiration date, and affiliated agencies. No other personal information is available via this search.
Each provider that signs this petition shall include their Virginia EMS Certification number as verification of their EMS Provider status.
We, the undersigned Virginia EMS Providers, call upon the Virginia Office of EMS and the Virginia Department of Health to provide all Virginia EMS Providers the ability to electronically opt-out of the sharing of our personal information to include contact information to any and all organizations and agencies. The fact that our personal addresses are shared with any agency or organization is inappropriate for marketing means without our prior consent and therefore request that this practice be stopped immediately.
Personal information shall be defined as our personal telephone numbers, our e-mail addresses, and our personal mailing addresses. This petition does not preclude the sharing of any information that can be found through individual searches of Virginia EMS providers to include: Certification Number, EMS Provider Level, Certification Expiration Date, First Name, Last Name, Middle Initial, City or County of Residence, and Agency Affiliation(s).
We further request that we shall be notified electronically or in writing of any release of our personal information for other than court subpoenas or other legally required requests of governmental necessity if we choose to opt-out of this form of information sharing.
Each provider that signs this petition shall include their Virginia EMS Certification number as verification of their EMS Provider status.
