Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 15, 2026

Appalachian Regional Health (“ARH,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how ARH collects, uses, and protects personal information submitted through our career website and related recruitment services, including our SMS job alert service.

Information We Collect

When you use ARH career services or sign up to receive job alerts, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you use our website, such as device type, browser type, IP address, and website usage information.

How We Use Your Information

ARH may use the information we collect to:

SMS Privacy

If you provide your mobile telephone number and opt in to receive SMS job alerts from Appalachian Regional Health (ARH), we will use your mobile number and related job preferences to provide the SMS communications you requested.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

ARH may use service providers that help us operate the SMS job alert program and deliver messages on our behalf. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to ARH and subject to applicable contractual and privacy requirements.

Your decision to opt in to SMS job alerts applies to the communications described when you enroll. ARH will not treat your enrollment in job alerts as consent to receive unrelated third-party marketing messages.

SMS Consent and Opt-Out

Participation in ARH SMS job alerts is voluntary. You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to an ARH job alert message. After opting out, you may receive a confirmation message indicating that your request has been processed.

For assistance with SMS messages, reply HELP or contact ARH through the contact information provided on our career website.

Opting out of SMS job alerts does not prevent you from searching for or applying to ARH employment opportunities through the ARH career website.

How We Share Information

ARH may disclose personal information to service providers and vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, recruitment technology, analytics, and communications delivery.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of ARH, our users, or others; or in connection with an organizational transaction as permitted by applicable law.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security and Retention

ARH uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services described in this Privacy Policy, fulfill legitimate business purposes, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Your Choices

You may choose not to provide certain personal information, although doing so may prevent you from using some career-site features or receiving requested job alerts.

You can unsubscribe from SMS job alerts at any time by replying STOP to an ARH SMS message.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

ARH may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
