• Data Security: Encryption, secure servers, and access controls protect all data, including healthcare-related information.
• AI Vetting: Human verification flags AI-generated profiles to ensure authenticity during vetting.
• HIPAA Compliance: Healthcare data (e.g., RN certifications) is handled with HIPAA-compliant processes.
• Data Retention: We retain information only as long as necessary for our services or legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted.
