ONLINE PRIVACY AND SECURITY

At HealthSparq, protecting your personal information is important to us. Whether you are a current customer or visiting this Site, we are as committed to protecting the information you provide through this Site as when you provide it to us over the phone, in person, electronically or through the mail. However, we recognize, and want you to recognize, that while electronic communications have many benefits, they may not be as secure as other means of communication. Read the following information carefully to better understand how using this site affects your privacy.

Security Practices

HealthSparq attempts to protect online information according to applicable laws and company security standards and practices. We have security measures in place to protect against the unauthorized access, loss, loss of control, unauthorized use, misuse, or alteration of information under our control, and we continually evaluate new technologies for safeguarding your information. However, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality or security of electronic transmissions via the Internet because they may potentially use unsecure computers and links, and data may be lost or intercepted by unauthorized parties during such transmission. If you wish to submit personal or confidential information by a more secure means of communication, contact us.

Sensitive information you provide to us online is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is the leading security protocol for data transfer on the Internet. This technology encrypts your account information as it moves between your Internet browser and HealthSparq computer systems. When information is encrypted in this way, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone other than HealthSparq to read it. This secure session helps protect the safety and confidentiality of your information when you interact with HealthSparq online.

Cookies, Pixels & Similar Technologies

Technologies like cookies, pixels, device or other identifiers (collectively, “Cookies and similar technologies”) are used to deliver, secure, and understand products and services offered by HealthSparq. Cookies are small files that are placed on your browser or device by the website you are viewing or app you are using.

We use cookies and similar technologies for a variety of reasons, such as allowing us to show you content and material that’s most relevant to you, improving our products and services, and helping to keep our products and services secure. While specific names of the cookies and similar technologies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update our products and services, they generally fall into the following categories of use: authentication, security, insights and measurements, localization, and site features and performance.

We sometimes use service providers or partner with third parties to help us provide or inform you of certain products and services. HealthSparq may contract with these other companies that use cookies and similar Technology to collect information regarding your interaction with HealthSparq advertisements and your use of both HealthSparq and third-party websites. We may transfer information to service providers and other partners who globally support our business, such as providing technical infrastructure services, analyzing how our products and services are used, measuring the effectiveness of ads and services, providing customer service, and facilitating payments.

If you do not want to receive cookies and similar technologies from this site, you can set your browser to not accept them.

Use of Email

Use your own best judgment when sending information via the Internet to an email address. Email sent via the Internet may pass through private and public networks with varying levels of security.

HealthSparq will respect your request not to be contacted by email.

After your email is received, HealthSparq preserves the content of your email, your email address and our response so we can efficiently respond to questions you might have. We also do this in an effort to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

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:

• 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 right(s) under this section of our Privacy Statement, we will not discriminate or retaliate against you.

If you are a California consumer and would like to submit a request based on this section of our Privacy Statement, please use this web form, email us at marketing@healthsparq.com. 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, your request, and legal authority (ex. authorized representative). Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. Please indicate in your request if either of these apply, as additional verification may apply (ex. verify consumer’s identify and confirm with impacted person(s) that the authorized agent has permission to submit the request).

A verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. A verifiable request must also include sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

In general, our verification process includes reviewing the information submitted in the request, comparing it to the right(s) requested; the number of verification points/methods required by the CCPA; and the type, sensitivity, and risk of information requested, including to the consumer, from unauthorized disclosure or deletion. An account is not required with us in order to make a request. We will use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity and authority to make the request, or otherwise as permitted by the CCPA (ex. record retention). We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt, and if we require more time (up to 90 total days), we will inform you of the reason of the extension in writing. A response to a consumer request will be provided as required by the CCPA, such as through an account (if one exists), or otherwise by mail or electronically.

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, where we cannot verify your identity, and/or where exemptions/exceptions permitted by the CCPA apply. 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.
