Introduction

Lonestar Trauma Educators (“Lonestar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at lonestartraumaedu.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

 

Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

Information you provide directly. When you complete our registration or contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and provider credentials (for example, MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, LP, or similar). This information is provided voluntarily and is used to process your course registration or respond to your inquiry.

Information collected automatically. Our website is registered with Google Search Console, a webmaster tool provided by Google that reports aggregate information about how our Site appears in Google Search results. This includes anonymized data such as search queries that led visitors to our pages, click-through rates, and the pages that appear in search results. Google Search Console does not identify individual visitors and does not place tracking cookies on your device through our Site.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service, advertising tracker, retargeting pixel, or social media tracking tool on this Site.

 

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Process and confirm your course registration
  • Verify your eligibility for the course you have registered for
  • Send you course-related communications, including pre-course access to required ACS ATLS 11 materials, course logistics, and post-course certification information
  • Respond to your inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • Maintain records required for our ACS-approved course accreditation

 

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With the American College of Surgeons (ACS) as required for course accreditation, candidate verification, and certification issuance
  • With our course faculty and coordinators who need access to complete your registration and course participation
  • When required by law, such as in response to a valid legal process, court order, or government request
  • To protect our rights or the safety of our staff, faculty, or candidates

 

Data Retention

We retain your registration information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy and to meet our record-keeping obligations under ACS course accreditation requirements. Contact form submissions that do not result in a course registration are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and follow up, then deleted.

You may:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any record-retention obligations we may have under ACS accreditation requirements or applicable law

Our Site and courses are intended for licensed healthcare providers and are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.

 

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information you provide through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 

Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (such as the American College of Surgeons or our registration platform). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
