Who is restricted from accessing STEM Premier information without explicit member permission?

Entities outside of HOSA are restricted from accessing STEM Premier information without explicit member permission because protecting the privacy and personal data of members is paramount. This restriction ensures that sensitive information, such as personal achievements, interests, and contact details, is kept confidential and is only shared with those who have a legitimate need for it, such as members themselves or authorized HOSA personnel. By limiting external access, HOSA maintains trust with its members, ensuring that their information is safeguarded from potential misuse or unsolicited contact. This focus on privacy is critical in organizations dealing with student data and reinforces the importance of member autonomy over their information.
