This section explains the rights of certain natural persons residing in the State of California (each, a “consumer”) may have under the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018 and such rules and regulations as may be adopted from time to time implementing and interpreting such Act (collectively, “CCPA”). The use of the term “personal information” does so as CCPA defines it, to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. However, personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified, or aggregate consumer information (which are all defined in CCPA). Also, the definition of “personal information” does not currently apply to the collection of personal information from job applicants, employees (whether you are our employee or any employee of our customers), business owners, directors, officers, medical staff or contractors.
Where we act as a “business” under CCPA (meaning we determine the manner and reasons for why we process your personal information), we may be required to disclose additional information regarding the categories of personal information we collect, the sources where we obtain that information, the purposes for why we collect that information, who we share that information with, as well as whether we sell that personal information – all of which depends on the specific service being provided.

• The right to notice. You must be properly notified which categories of Personal Data are being collected and the purposes for which the Personal Data is being used.

The CCPA permits you to request and obtain from the business information regarding the disclosure of your Personal Data that has been collected in the past 12 months by the business or its subsidiaries to a third-party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes.
• The right to say no to the sale of Personal Data. You also have the right to ask the business not to sell your Personal Data to third parties. You can submit such a request by visiting our “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” section or web page.
• The right to know about your Personal Data. You have the right to request and obtain from the business information regarding the disclosure of the following:
• The categories of Personal Data collected
• The sources from which the Personal Data was collected
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Data
• Categories of third parties with whom the business shares Personal Data
• The specific pieces of Personal Data the business collected about you
• The right to delete Personal Data. You also have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Data that has been collected in the past 12 months.
• The right not to be discriminated against. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of your Consumer’s rights, including by:
• Denying goods or services to you
