The purpose of this notice is to describe our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and instructions for submitting CCPA data privacy requests.  Some of the Personal information that we collect, use, and disclose may be exempt from the CCPA because it is regulated by other federal and state laws that apply to us.

We collect personal information from you when you interact with us online (through our Website) or offline (such as through your health care providers, if you are a patient.)  The information we collect from you will depend on the nature of our interaction with you, but may include the following categories that we have collected in the preceding twelve (12) months:

To process your request for access or deletion, we must be able to verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty.  In order to do so, you must provide the required information when completing the online request form or making a request through one of our customer service agents.  We will ask you to provide your contact information and an additional identifier based on your relationship with us.  Before we process your request, we will match these data point with data points we currently maintain to verify your identity and your relationship with us.

Sale or Disclosure of Information
