1. Who we are and what this covers
RxCe.com, LLC ("RxCe," "we," "us") provides continuing education for healthcare professionals. In support of improving patient care, RxCe.com, LLC is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
This policy covers:
- The rxce.com website
- The RxCe mobile app for iOS
- Virtual Patient Labs at vpl.rxce.com
- Email and support communications
Where the mobile app differs from the website, we say so explicitly.
Do not submit patient information to us. RxCe is a professional education service and is not designed to collect patient records or identifiable patient information. Do not include patient names, record numbers, dates of birth, or other identifying patient details in course evaluations, Virtual Patient Labs responses, or support messages. If we receive such information inadvertently, we may delete it or take other appropriate steps.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
Account information. Created on rxce.com: name, email address, password (stored only as a cryptographic hash), and depending on your profession and purchases, mailing address and date of birth.
Professional credentials. Because we award continuing education credit and must be able to report it, we collect the identifiers your accrediting and licensing bodies require: profession, license number, licensing state, National Provider Identifier (NPI), and โ for pharmacy professionals โ NABP e-Profile ID and CPE Monitor date of birth. Date of birth is used for credit reporting and matching only.
Payment information. Handled by Stripe. Card numbers never touch RxCe servers. We retain records of purchases.
Things you write. Course evaluations, commercial-bias reports, Virtual Patient Labs responses, and support messages.
Information created by using our services
Courses started and completed, credit hours awarded, assessment and evaluation responses, episode listening progress in the mobile app, certificates issued, and dates for each.
Technical information
Server logs, which include IP address, browser or device type, and pages or screens accessed. This applies to both the website and the mobile app โ the app's requests to our servers and content delivery network are logged like any other traffic, including IP address. On the website, cookies as described in section 6.
The mobile app
The iOS app is designed to collect only:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | Sign-in |
| Name | Displaying your account |
| User ID | Linking your activity to your account |
| Product interaction | Recording what you completed, so credit can be awarded |
The app does not request your location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photos. It contains no advertising or analytics SDKs and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Two honest caveats. First, as noted above, the app's network requests are logged server-side, including IP address. Second, some features open rxce.com inside the app โ managing or deleting your account โ and within that in-app browser, the website's own cookies and data practices described in this policy apply.
3. How we use your information
- To provide the courses and activities you enroll in
- To award, document, and issue certificates for continuing education credit
- To report completed credit to accrediting and licensing systems โ see section 4
- To process payments and maintain financial records
- To respond to support requests
- To monitor our activities for commercial bias, which our accreditation requires
- To send transactional email about your account, purchases, and credit
- To send marketing email, only where permitted, with unsubscribe available in every message
- To improve our services and keep them secure
- To comply with law and with our accreditation requirements
We do not sell personal information for money. Some advertising technologies used on our website may constitute "sharing" or processing for targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws; see section 5, and where required, you may opt out.
5. Advertising and remarketing โ website only
On rxce.com, we use advertising and remarketing services, including Google, which use cookies to show RxCe advertisements based on prior visits to our site.
You can opt out of Google's personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings and of many vendors at optout.aboutads.info. You can also contact us at help@rxce.com to opt out of targeted advertising, as described in section 9.
None of this occurs in the mobile app. The app contains no advertising or analytics technology and does not participate in remarketing.
6. Cookies
On rxce.com, cookies keep you signed in, remember your cart and preferences, and support the advertising described in section 5. Browsers can refuse cookies at the cost of some site features.
The mobile app does not use cookies in its native screens. When the app opens rxce.com in its in-app browser, the website's cookies apply as described above.
7. How long we keep it
Continuing education records are kept long-term, by requirement and by design.
- CE and CME completion records are retained for a minimum of six years after activity completion, as our accreditors require, and may be retained longer โ unless you delete your account. Deletion de-identifies these records (section 8), after which we have no way to submit completed activities to any reporting system or to verify your credit.
- Course evaluations are retained as accreditation evidence.
- Financial and transaction records are retained as long as tax, accounting, and fraud-prevention purposes require, and remain identifiable โ a payment record must stay associated with a payer.
- Account information is retained while your account is active, and until you delete it.
- Server logs are retained for a limited operational period and then deleted.
Information removed from active systems may persist temporarily in encrypted backups and is deleted as those backups expire, unless retention is required for legal, security, audit, or dispute purposes.
8. Deleting your account
You can delete your RxCe account at any time.
How
- Website: sign in โ Account โ Manage โ Delete Personal Data
- Mobile app: Profile โ Delete Account, which opens the same page in an in-app browser
You will be asked to sign in, enter your password, acknowledge what is deleted and what is kept, and type DELETE to confirm. This is deliberate: an account cannot be deleted from a signed-in device alone.
What is deleted
Your profile โ name, date of birth, email address, mailing address ยท license numbers, licensing state, and NABP/CPE Monitor settings ยท marketing preferences and list membership ยท support and staff notes held in your RxCe account ยท sign-in and activity history ยท saved sign-in tokens on every device ยท saved cart ยท Virtual Patient Labs written responses ยท saved topics in the mobile app.
Support correspondence. Deleting your account removes the support notes attached to it. Email you have sent to our support address is also held in our help-desk system, which is separate from your account. To have that correspondence removed as well, email us at help@rxce.com โ including your deletion confirmation code if you have already deleted your account.
What is kept
| Kept | Why |
|---|---|
| Course completions and credit hours | Accreditation record requirements and licensing-board verification |
| Course evaluations | Required accreditation evidence |
| Payment and invoice records โ identifiable | Tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and chargeback purposes |
| Credit already reported to CPE Monitor / PARS | Already transmitted; governed by those systems |
| A deletion audit record | Proof the deletion occurred: timestamp, channel, policy version shown, confirmation code โ containing no name, email, or identifier |
Retained completion and evaluation records are de-identified: your name and professional identifiers are removed and replaced with a random reference.
If you contact us afterward
You will receive a confirmation code (RXCE-DEL-XXXXXXXX) by email. Keep it โ it is the reference for any future support request.
If you lose the code, there is a narrow recovery path: if you present your own email address or license number, we can cryptographically confirm whether it matches a deletion record. This uses one-way keyed fingerprints โ we retain no readable copy of either, and the mechanism can only confirm a match to information you supply. It cannot re-identify retained records or restore the account.
What deletion means for you โ read before deleting
It cannot be undone, and your credit records cannot be re-linked to you afterward.
Download your transcript before deleting. Credit already transmitted to CPE Monitor or to licensing boards through PARS remains in those systems, but RxCe will no longer be able to produce, re-issue, or verify certificates for you.
Credit not yet reported may never be reported. Completions transmit on a schedule; anything unsent at deletion cannot be sent afterward.
9. Your choices and rights
Your account information. Sign in at rxce.com to view and update personal and professional information. The mobile app displays but does not edit โ changes happen on the website.
Marketing email. Unsubscribe via any message's link or help@rxce.com. Transactional email continues while your account exists.
Deletion. Section 8.
Privacy rights
Several U.S. states, and other jurisdictions, give residents specific rights over their personal information. Rather than asking you to determine which laws apply to you, we extend the following to everyone who uses RxCe:
- Access โ request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction โ sign in at rxce.com to correct your information, or contact us for help
- Deletion โ delete your account as described in section 8
- Portability โ download your credit transcript from your account at any time
- Opt out of targeted advertising โ contact us and we will exclude you, and see the opt-out tools in section 5
- No penalty โ we will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or provide a lower quality of service for exercising any of these rights
To make a request, email help@rxce.com. We will verify your identity before acting on requests about specific information, and respond within the time the applicable law requires โ generally within 45 days. If we cannot fulfil a request, we will tell you why. If you disagree with our decision, you may appeal by replying to us, and we will respond to appeals in writing.
Canadian users
The rights above are offered to everyone. If you are located in Canada, you may also have statutory rights described below.
If you are located in Canada, your personal information may be protected by the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and, depending on where you are located and the circumstances, applicable provincial privacy laws. These may include the private-sector privacy laws of Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta.
Your Canadian privacy rights
Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Ask how we have used or disclosed your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information
- Withdraw consent to uses or disclosures that depend on consent
- Request deletion of your account or personal information
- Challenge our compliance with applicable Canadian privacy law
- Request a copy of eligible personal information in a portable format, where required by law
Withdrawal of consent does not affect uses or disclosures that occurred before consent was withdrawn. It may also prevent us from providing a service that requires the information. We may retain personal information where permitted or required for continuing-education accreditation, credit verification, financial recordkeeping, fraud prevention, security, disputes, or other legal and operational purposes.
Account deletion and the information that may be retained after deletion are described in Section 8.
Access, correction, and privacy requests
To exercise a Canadian privacy right or ask a question about our privacy practices, submit a written request to:
RxCe Privacy OfficerEmail: help@rxce.com
RxCe.com, LLC
P.O. Box 17707
Missoula, MT 59808-7707
USA
Please describe your request with enough detail for us to understand and locate the relevant information. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or your authority to act for another person.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Access is generally provided without charge, although we may charge a reasonable fee where permitted by law and after notifying you in advance.
In some circumstances, applicable law permits or requires us to refuse access, correction, deletion, or portability. If we deny all or part of a request, we will explain the reason unless the law prohibits us from doing so.
Processing outside Canada
RxCe is based in the United States. Personal information belonging to Canadian users may be stored or processed in the United States and in other countries where RxCe or its service providers operate.
When personal information is processed outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies, national-security authorities, or other governmental authorities under applicable law.
RxCe remains responsible for personal information under its control and uses contractual, technical, and organizational measures intended to require service providers to protect it appropriately.
Quebec users
If Quebec privacy law applies, you may also have the right to receive eligible computerized personal information collected directly from you in a structured and commonly used technological format and, where technically feasible and permitted by law, to have it transmitted to another person or organization.
Requests under Quebec privacy law should be directed to the RxCe Privacy Officer listed above.
Complaints
Please contact the RxCe Privacy Officer first so that we have an opportunity to address your concern.
You may also have the right to submit a complaint to the applicable Canadian privacy regulator, which may include:
- The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
- The Commission d'accรจs ร l'information du Quรฉbec
- The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia
- The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta
Exercising a privacy right will not result in discriminatory treatment.
10. How we protect your information
TLS for data in transit. Passwords stored as one-way hashes that we cannot read or recover. Payment card data handled entirely by Stripe. Access limited to staff who need it. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children and users under 18
RxCe's services are designed for licensed and credentialed healthcare professionals and students preparing for healthcare occupations. Some eligible users, including pharmacy technician students, may be 16 or 17 years old.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an RxCe account. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use our services only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian and in accordance with our Terms of Service.
Personal information collected from eligible users who are 16 or 17 is handled as described in this Privacy Policy. This may include account information, professional or educational credentials, course activity, assessment and evaluation responses, and information required to document or report continuing education credit.
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not create an account or use our services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information to RxCe should contact us at help@rxce.com.
We do not sell or share the personal information of users we know are under 18, and we do not use their personal information for targeted advertising.
12. Changes to this policy
We will post changes on this page and update the date above. For material changes, we will provide notice and, where the law requires it, obtain consent or provide an opportunity to withdraw consent.
Deletion disclosures are versioned. When you delete your account, we record which version of the deletion disclosure you were shown, so the consent recorded is tied to the text you actually read.
