- Business Customers. This Notice does not apply to the personal information that we process in our capacity as a service provider to our customers (“Business Customers”). In general, we process information that we receive in our capacity as a service provider for the purposes for which our Business Customers provided the information and subject to our contract with the particular Business Customer. Please note that we may use information, including personal information, that we have collected and/or processed on behalf of our Business Customers in our capacity as a service provider where we believe it is required or permitted by law or necessary to protect the security of our Services, our rights and interests, and/or the rights and interests of other persons.

In certain circumstances, we may collect or use your information through our Services while acting as a “business associate” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), and your information may constitute “Protected Health Information.” A business associate includes an entity that provides services to a HIPAA covered entity which involve the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information.

Protected Health Information as defined under HIPAA generally means information about you that identifies you and that relates to your physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to you, or payment for health care provided to you. To the extent we are acting as a business associate, we will only use and disclose your information as permitted by HIPAA, which may include, but is not limited to, fulfilling our service obligations, for our internal management and administration, executing our legal responsibilities, de-identifying or aggregating data, or as otherwise required by law.

14. California Notice at Collection and Privacy Policy
This Section of the Notice provides additional information for California residents and describes our information practices pursuant to applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act and the regulations issued thereto, each as amended (“CCPA”).

Additionally, this Notice does not apply to personal information we collect, receive, or otherwise maintain about you that is primarily governed by certain federal laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).

If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for denial.
You may also designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require the relevant consumer to directly verify the identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
- Right to Opt Out of Sales and Sharing. To exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set; you can also delete cookies.
