Last Updated:
October 2024
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “ARRT”) is committed to helping you obtain and maintain your credentials through Education, Ethics, and Examination. ARRT may receive your biometric information, as defined by applicable law, in the following contexts:
· Exam Administration. Pearson VUE may collect biometric information, including your facial photograph and palm vein topography, to verify your identity. Pearson VUE may share your biometric information collected in this context with ARRT.
· Social Media. ARRT may receive your facial photo or voice recording, which may be defined as biometric information under certain state laws, if you post or someone else posts them to social media accounts with which ARRT interacts. ARRT may share such posts through typical social media channels.
· Voicemails/Video Recordings. ARRT may receive your voice recording, which may be defined as biometric information under certain state laws. If you call and talk to an ARRT employee, if you leave a voice message for ARRT, or if you participate in a recorded video meeting, ARRT may receive your facial image and voice recording. We use and/or store the facial images and voice recordings provided in these contexts to provide customer support, for the purposes for which they were provided, and to respond to requests.
Your “biometric information” will be collected, used, stored, and shared for the purposes listed above and will not be shared or disclosed for any other purpose without your consent unless it is required or compelled to be disclosed by law. Specifically, ARRT does not use any facial photos, or voice recordings for any secondary purposes, including creating voice prints, face prints, or mapping of biometric identifiers, without your consent, except in the context of exam-related identity verification.
Your biometric information will be permanently deleted from the system(s) where it is stored within a reasonable time period after the purposes of the collection (as listed above) have been satisfied, not to exceed [3 years] after the last use of your biometric information.
When you log in to ARRT.org, you'll be asked to confirm that you've read and agree to the Biometric Information Privacy Policy, which means you also agree to the collection, use, sharing, and storage of your biometric information.
