California Citizen Rights. Individuals who reside in the state of California, a “consumer,” as that term is defined under California law, have additional rights reserved under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Shine the Light law:
- Protected Health Information Excluded. If you are a customer of one of our healthcare services, read our HIPAA SECTION to learn how we handle your Protected Healthcare Information. Any personal information you provide or that we collect in connection with administering or providing your healthcare benefits, or your status as a member of our one of our health plans in connection with your healthcare, will be handled in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Federal Standards, which preempts and is excluded from the requirements of the CCPA.
- Right to Opt-Out. We do not sell personal information.
- Right to Request Personal Information. As a consumer, you have the “right to know” and request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, and disclose. See the instructions below for submitting a verifiable request, including through the online request form offered by us. You have the right to request the categories of personal information, as detailed under the CCPA, we have collected and store about you. In addition, you have the right to request categories of sources of personal information we collected about you, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. Categories of personal information that we disclosed about you for a business purpose may also be requested, with the appropriate lists provided under the CCPA. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, described below in this Privacy Statement/Notice, from you to access personal information, we will promptly take steps to disclose and deliver, free of charge to you, the personal information required by this section and within the timeframes permitted for responding to exercise of this or other applicable right(s). The information may be delivered by mail or electronically, dependent on portability and technical considerations under the CCPA. We may provide personal information to you at any time following a verified request, but shall not be required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period.
- Right to Delete Personal Information. You have the right to request we delete personal information we, or our service providers, store about you. Please keep in mind our response to such a request, upon verification, may include an explanation of the business purpose under which we may retain your information (for example, we would need to retain copies of a business transaction for financial records) in accordance with the CCPA.
- Non-Discrimination. If you elect to exercise any rights under this section of our Privacy Statement, we will not discriminate or retaliate against you.
If you are a California consumer and have additional questions based on this section of our Privacy Statement, please use this web form, email us at compliance@cambiahealth.com, or call us toll-free at 877-878-2273. Also, be sure to check this policy for updates as we will review it at least every 12 months and make updates as necessary.
Identity Verification Requirement. We are required by law to verify that any data access request submitted under the authority of the CCPA was made by someone with the legal right to access the personal information requested. Therefore, prior to accessing or divulging any information pursuant to a data subject access request, under the terms of the CCPA, we may request that you provide us with additional information in order for us to verify your identity and legal authority.
Access Request Responses. Under the CCPA, there may be certain circumstances where we would deny your request to access, receive, or delete personal information we hold. For example, we would deny requests where any such access or disclosure would interfere with our regulatory or legal obligations or where we cannot verify your identity. We also have the ability under the CCPA to deny requests if it would result in our disproportionate cost or effort. However, even where we will not substantively complete a request made under the CCPA, we will still provide a response and explanation to your request within a reasonable time frame and as required by law.
