When we have no ongoing legitimate Business Purpose to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The information in the section California Residents supplements the information in our Privacy Policy above, and except as provided herein, applies solely to California residents.
Summary of Information We Collect
California law requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information that we have collected about California consumers (as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA")), the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by applicable law) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties with whom we share personal information.
We or our service providers may collect the following categories of information for the following business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined in applicable law):
Providing the Service (e.g., account servicing and maintenance, matching freelancer talent with client needs, customer service, advertising and marketing, analytics, and communication about the Service);
Our or our service providers' operational purposes;
Auditing consumer interactions on our site (e.g., measuring ad impressions);
Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting privacy and security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
Bug detection, error reporting, and activities to maintain the quality or safety of our Service;
Investigating compliance with, enforcing, and/or complying with the law;
Short-term, transient use, such as customizing content that we or our service providers display on the Service;
Improving our existing Service and developing new services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features);
Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as third-party advertising and communicating with you about relevant offers from us or third-party partners;
Other uses about which we notify you.
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.
Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
Delete certain information we have about you.
You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right not to be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request through the Data Request Form available in our Privacy Center or email us at privacy@kindhealth.com. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information to provide the Service to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Service.
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information. Based on the definition of “sell” under the CCPA and current regulatory guidance, we do not believe we engage in such activity and have not engaged in such activity in the past twelve months.
DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?
We may change this Privacy Policy. If we make substantial changes, we will provide notice.
Kind Health may update this Privacy Policy at any time and any changes will be effective upon posting. In the event that there are substantial changes to the way we treat your Personal Information, we will display a notice through the Services before the change becomes effective. We may also notify you by email, at our discretion. However, we will use your Personal Information consistently with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time you submitted the information unless you consent to the new or revised policy.
