Privacy Policy – California Supplement
Last Updated: 31 December 2019
INTRODUCTION
If you are a California resident, then this Supplement to our Privacy Policy may apply to you. If there is a capitalized word that we didn’t define in this Supplement, then we are using the definition in the Privacy Policy.
CCPA
- Scope.
- This section 2 is intended to describe our practices and your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). This Supplement provides rights and other terms relating to CCPA Personal Information (defined below) that are in addition to those provided in our Privacy Policy. These additional rights and other terms are only available to California residents about whom we collect CCPA Personal Information. This Supplement takes precedence over the Privacy Policy with respect to CCPA Personal Information for California residents if there is a conflict between the two.
- In this Supplement, when we talk about “CCPA Personal Information”, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household as set forth in the CCPA.
- You should be aware that CCPA Personal Information doesn’t include:
- Publicly available information from government records,
- De-identified or aggregated consumer information, and
- Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as:
- Protected Health Information under HIPAA (with Protected Health Information being more fully defined in the Privacy Policy), information subject to the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, or clinical trial data; or
- “Business to business” information, which is information related to communications or transactions between a business collecting the information and a consumer who is acting on behalf of another business where the communications or transaction relate solely to an exchange of products or services between the two businesses.
- Based on this scope, our collection and use of CCPA Personal Information described in this section 2 is limited to visitors to our Sites and visitors to our offices. For more information on our practices related to Personal Information more generally, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your CCPA Personal Information from our records, unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
- We may deny your deletion request for reasons permitted by the CCPA. For example, if the information is excluded from the CCPA or does not constitute CCPA Personal Information, such as Protected Health Information held on behalf of a Provider who uses our Systems or Services. Please submit all requests related to your Protected Health Information directly to your Provider. We may also deny your deletion request if the information is required to complete the transaction for which the information was collected or to provide you with requested goods or services.
- Exercising Your Right to Know and Right to Deletion.
- To exercise your Right to Know and Right to Deletion, please submit a request to us at the Contact Information below.

- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected CCPA Personal Information or an authorized representative.
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
- We will take steps to verify your identity before processing your Right to Know or Right to Delete request. If you have an account with us, we will use our existing account authentication practices to verify your identity.

We will only use the CCPA Personal Information you provide to us in response to this request to verify your identity and to process your request, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.
- You may use an authorized agent to submit a Right to Know or Right to Deletion request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request for you. To protect your CCPA Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit adequate proof that you authorized them to act for you.
- We cannot respond to your request or provide you with CCPA Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the CCPA Personal Information relates to you.
