TL;DR: Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Hey there! 👋 As a fellow nurse, I totally understand how important privacy is—it's a huge deal for me, too. The StellarNurse team and I created this Privacy Policy to protect your information in the same way we want ours protected. Here’s a quick look at what StellarNurse does with your data:

  • Our Straight-Up Use of Your Data: We collect it mostly so we can keep you informed about our services and connect you with travel nursing agencies.
  • We Share Your Profile - Only At Your Request: When you message an agency through StellarNurse, we send your StellarNurse private email and your phone number so the agency can contact you about jobs.
  • You Control Your Info: Block agency phone spam with a burner phone number. You can also leave your phone number blank in your profile, so agencies won't receive it with your messages. To stop emails from agencies, you can turn your StellarNurse private email on or off in your dashboard. Remember: turning off your email or leaving your phone number blank will limit agencies' ability to reach you.

We’re all about transparency and respecting your boundaries here at StellarNurse. If you have any questions or need more info, just reach out. Stay safe, protect your data privacy and keep scrolling for all the details in our full Privacy Policy! 🌟
