Privacy Policy

Last updated October 2, 2026

This policy explains how the CAMP EMS website and student portal at camp-ems.com, run by the EMS programs of Paul D. Camp Community College (PDC), handles your information. It works alongside PDC's college-wide privacy and FERPA policies at pdc.edu.

Accounts

When you create a portal account we collect your name, email address, password (stored only as a secure one-way hash) and, if you provide them, your phone number and student ID. Your account lets you apply, track your enrollment, upload documents and use exam prep.

Program applications

EMS applications collect the program and campus you choose, your current certification level, agency, goals and, for Critical Care, your years and areas of experience. Program staff use this to advise you, place you in a class and make admission decisions.

Contact, feedback and other forms

Contact and "request info" forms collect your name, email, phone and the program you're interested in so an advisor can reply. Feedback, problem reports, job applications and partner-program requests collect only what you type into them.

Uploaded certifications and documents

You may upload certification cards, immunization records, licenses and similar files. They are stored in private storage, visible only to you and to authorized program staff who verify them. They are never shown publicly.

Google sign-in

If you choose "Continue with Google," Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us so we can create or open your account. We do not receive your Google password and we do not access your Gmail, contacts, Drive or calendar.

Analytics

We count page visits and clicks on buttons such as "Apply" and "Book advising" to learn which pages help prospective students. This tells us how often a link is used and from which page; it is not used to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell information. Exam-prep practice results are used to show your readiness and to let faculty support their students.

Email notifications

We send account emails (sign-up confirmation, password reset), application and decision updates, reminders you opt into, and notices to staff about new requests. You can turn off optional reminders at any time; account and decision emails are required to run the program.

Who can see your information

Only you and authorized PDC staff, faculty and administrators with a job-related need. Clinical and field partner sites see only what is needed to schedule a rotation. We share information outside the college only when you ask us to, when required by law, or with service providers that host the website and send email on our behalf.

Keeping it safe

Access is limited by role, sessions sign out after 30 minutes of inactivity, and changes to access are recorded in an audit log.

Your choices and account deletion

You can view and update your profile in the portal. You can ask us to delete your account using "Delete my account" in the portal or the account deletion request page. Some educational records must be kept by law; that page explains which.
