Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 1, 2026

Excursion Health ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website excursionhealth.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site. Please read this policy carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Subscribe to our email newsletter
• Download free resources (checklists, templates, guides)
• Complete a quiz or matchmaker tool
• Join our referral program
• Purchase digital products (planners, spreadsheets, bundles)
• Contact us via email or contact forms
• Leave a comment or submit user feedback
• Participate in surveys or polls

This information may include your name, email address, nursing specialty, years of experience, preferred travel destinations, and other details you choose to share. We do not collect sensitive financial information such as credit card numbers directly — all payment processing is handled by our third-party payment processor.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited, time spent on pages, and navigation paths
• Referring website, search engine, or campaign source
• Device type, screen resolution, and operating system
• General geographic location (country and region level only)

We use privacy-focused analytics (Plausible Analytics) that does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. We do not use Google Analytics. Plausible is GDPR-compliant, does not track users across sites, and all data is processed within the EU.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive limited information from third-party services when you interact with them through our Site. For example, if you sign up for an agency through our referral link, the agency may confirm your enrollment so we can process any applicable referral bonuses. We do not purchase or obtain personal data from data brokers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you the newsletters, resources, or products you requested
• Deliver personalized agency match results and recommendations
• Process referral program applications and payouts
• Fulfill and deliver digital product purchases
• Improve our Site, tools, content, and user experience
• Analyze aggregate usage trends to develop new tools and resources
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Send transactional emails related to purchases or account activity
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We will never share your email address with other companies for their direct marketing.

3. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Partners

Our Site contains affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing any personal information.

Our affiliate and advertising partners may include:

• Travel nursing staffing agencies
• Housing and furnished rental platforms
• Health, dental, and vision insurance providers
• Credit card and banking companies
• CPA and tax preparation services
• Amazon Associates and travel gear retailers
• Digital product platforms (e.g., Gumroad, Teachable)
• Software and productivity tools

When you click an affiliate link, the third-party site may place cookies on your device to track the referral. These cookies are governed by the third party's cookie policy, not ours. For a complete list of our affiliate relationships, please see our Affiliate Disclosure page.

4. Third-Party Services We Use

We use the following categories of third-party services to operate the Site. Each service has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data:

5. Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or download a resource, we will send you emails related to travel nursing finances, new guides, tool updates, and occasional product recommendations. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time, and we will remove you from our mailing list within 48 hours.

We may send the following types of emails:

• Welcome sequences: A series of introductory emails when you first subscribe
• Newsletter: Regular updates with new content, tips, and resources
• Product announcements: Notifications about new tools, guides, or digital products
• Transactional emails: Purchase confirmations, download links, and account-related notices
• Promotional emails: Occasional recommendations for third-party products and services we believe provide value

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with any third party for their marketing purposes. Our email service provider processes your data solely on our behalf.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We minimize the use of cookies on our Site. Here is how cookies and similar technologies are used:

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect the functionality of some third-party features on the Site. Blocking cookies will not affect the core functionality of our Site.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal with each request. Because our primary analytics tool (Plausible) does not track individual users and does not use cookies, our Site inherently respects your privacy regardless of DNT settings. We do not respond to DNT signals specifically because we already do not engage in cross-site tracking.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:

• Email subscriber data: Retained until you unsubscribe, after which your email is removed from active lists within 48 hours. Suppression records (to prevent re-adding) may be kept indefinitely.
• Purchase records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years for accounting, tax compliance, and customer support purposes.
• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 2 years, then deleted unless an ongoing conversation requires retention.
• Referral program data: Retained for the duration of your participation and for 3 years after for tax reporting purposes.
• Analytics data: Plausible retains aggregated, anonymous analytics data. No personal data is stored.
• Server logs: Automatically purged by our hosting provider per their retention schedule, typically within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our Site
• Secure, encrypted connections to third-party service providers
• Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Regular review of data collection and storage practices
• Use of reputable, security-focused third-party service providers

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data. If we become aware of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

11. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

To make a verifiable consumer request, email us at privacy@excursionhealth.com with the subject line "CCPA Request." We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

12. International Data Transfers

Our Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where it is processed.

13. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Site's content is designed for adults, primarily working professionals in the healthcare field.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@excursionhealth.com. We will take steps to delete such information promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes that significantly affect how we handle your personal information, we will provide prominent notice on the Site or notify you via email (if you are a subscriber) before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
