All who work for Everside Health – at all levels – are expected to follow our compliance program, which includes abiding by Everside Health’s code of conduct, policies and procedures, and all applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance. Our code of conduct PDF can be found here.

This compliance program was developed in alignment with our mission of achieving the best possible patient outcomes.  We understand that compliance is critical to our continued success and the fulfillment of our corporate mission. We emphasize ethics and integrity as essential aspects of the work of every teammate. Everside Health’s robust compliance program ensures that team members can both understand all pertinent laws and policies and comprehend how those laws apply to them in their respective roles.

Key components of our compliance program include annual and new-hire compliance training, regular updates of policies and procedures, and compliance reporting. At every level, Everside Health promotes an organizational tone that encourages ethical conduct, a reporting culture, and buy-in from teammates regarding compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance in all internal and external dealings.

OUR PLEDGE REGARDING MEDICAL INFORMATION

Your health information is personal, and we are committed to protecting it. 

We keep a record of the healthcare services we provide you. You may ask us to see and copy that record. You may also ask us to correct that record. We will not disclose your record to others unless you direct us to do so or unless the law authorizes or compels us to do so. This notice applies to all of the records of your care.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact compliance@eversidehealth.com 

We are required by law to: 

• Make sure that medical information that identifies you is kept private (with certain exceptions);
• Provide you a notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your health information;
• Provide you with notice of a breach of your unsecured protected health information; and
• Follow the terms of the notice that is currently in effect.

We may use or disclose your health information, in certain situations, without your consent or authorization. Such uses and disclosures may be in oral, paper or electronic format. Below we describe examples of how we may use or disclose your health information as permitted under or required by federal law, including instances where we will obtain your consent or authorization. The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose medical information. Not every use or disclosure in a category will be listed. However, all of the ways we are permitted to use and disclose information will fall within one of the categories.

For Treatment. We may use and disclose your health information to provide you with medical treatment or services or to assist in the coordination, continuation or management of your care and any related services. This includes the coordination or management of your health care with a third party. For example, a health care provider, such as a physician, nurse, or other person providing health services to you, will record information in your record that is related to your treatment. This information is necessary for other health care providers to determine what treatment you should receive.

For Payment. We may use and disclose your health information to others for purposes of obtaining payment for treatment and services that you receive. For example, we may disclose to your employer that you are one of our patients so that your employer will pay your monthly fees for care.

For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose health information about you for operational purposes. For example, your health information may be used by Everside Health or disclosed to others in order to: 

• Communicate with you about our activities and locations;
• Evaluate the performance of our staff;
• Assess the quality of care and outcomes in your case and similar cases;
• Learn how to improve our facilities and services;
• Determine how to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of the health care we provide; and
• To notify your employer that you have achieved program requirements in order to get a discount on your insurance premium.

Communications. We may use and disclose your information to provide appointment reminders, leave a message on your answering machine, or leave a message with an individual who answers the phone at your residence. We may, from time to time, contact you to provide information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.

Required or Permitted by Law. We may use and disclose information about you as required or permitted by law. If a use or disclosure is required by law, the use or disclosure will be made in compliance with the law and will be limited to the relevant requirements of the law. If required by law, you will be notified of any such uses or disclosures. For example, we may use and/or disclose information for the following purposes: 

• For judicial and administrative proceedings pursuant to legal authority; 
• To report information related to victims of abuse, neglect or domestic violence; 
• To assist law enforcement officials in their law enforcement duties; 
• In the instance of a breach involving your unsecured health information, to notify you, law enforcement and regulatory authorities, as necessary, of the situation, and others as appropriate to help resolve the situation; or 
• To report to health oversight agencies responsible for monitoring the health care system and government programs.

Public Health. Your health information may be used or disclosed for public health activities such as: (1) assisting public health authorities or other legal authorities to prevent or control disease, injury, or disability; (2) reporting child abuse or neglect to a public health authority or other governmental authority that is authorized by law to receive such reports; (3) reporting information to a person subject to the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for public health purposes related to the quality, safety or effectiveness of FDA-regulated products or activities such as collecting or reporting adverse events, dangerous products, and defects or problems with FDA-regulated products; (4) notifying a person who may be at risk of contracting or spreading a disease, if such disclosure is authorized by law; (5) reporting information to your employer, for the purposes of conducting an evaluation of medical surveillance of the workplace or for the purposes of evaluating whether you have a work-related illness or injury; or (6) disclosing proof of immunization to your school, or your child’s school, if the school is required by law to have such proof prior to admitting you or your child. We will obtain and document your agreement to such immunization disclosures.

Individuals Involved in Your Care. We may provide information about you to a family member, friend, or other person involved in your health care or in payment for your health care, if you do not object, or in an emergency. If you are deceased, we may disclose medical information about you to a friend or family member who was involved in your medical care prior to your death, limited to information relevant to that person’s involvement, unless doing so would be inconsistent with your written wishes you previously provided to us. If we disclose information to a family member, relative or close personal friend, we will disclose only information that we believe is relevant to that person’s involvement with your health care or payment related to your health care.

Health and Safety. We may, consistent with applicable law and standards of ethical conduct, use or disclose health information about you if we believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to the health or safety of a person or the public; provided that, if a disclosure is made, it must be to a person(s) reasonably able to prevent or lessen the threat. We may also use or disclose your health information if we believe that the use or disclosure is necessary for law enforcement authorities to identify or apprehend an individual who: (i) admits to participation in a violent crime that we reasonably believe caused serious physical harm to the victim, or (ii) appears to have escaped from a correctional institution or lawful custody.

Notification and Disaster Relief. We may use or disclose your health information to notify or assist in notifying your family, a personal representative, or another person responsible for your care, of your location, condition, or death. We may disclose your health information to disaster relief authorities so that your family can be notified of your location and condition.

Decedents. We may release medical information to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death. We may also release medical information about you to funeral directors as necessary to enable them to carry out their lawful duties. Once you have been dead for 50 years (or such other period as may be specified by law), we may use and disclose your health information without regard to the restrictions set forth in this Notice. 

Organ/Tissue Donation. Your health information may be used or disclosed for cadaveric organ, eye or tissue donation and transplantation purposes. 

Government Functions. We may disclose your health information for specialized government functions, such as military and veteran’s activities, national security and intelligence activities, and protection of public officials. 

Workers’ Compensation. Your health information may be used or disclosed in order to comply with laws and regulations related to Workers’ Compensation. 

Business Associates. We may contract with one or more third parties (our business associates) in the course of our business operations. We may disclose your health information to our business associates so that they can perform the job we have asked them to do. We require that our business associates sign a business associate agreement and agree to safeguard the privacy and security of your health information. 

CONSENTS AND AUTHORIZATIONS FOR OTHER USES

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 866-808-6005.
• Visiting https://www.eversidehealth.com/contact/
• Written communication directed to: compliance@eversidehealth.com or Privacy Officer, 1400 Wewatta Street, Suite 350 Denver, Colorado 80202

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State (regarding CA residents) 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. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The 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.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to confirm receipt within ten (10) business days and further respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days (90 total)), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically such information can be provided through CSV or other similar formatting.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We are not required to search for personal information in every instance, including in the following situations:

• We do not maintain the personal information in a searchable or reasonably accessible format;
• We maintain the personal information solely for legal or compliance purposes;
• We do not sell the personal information and do not use it for any commercial purpose;
• As otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your Rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA to CA residents (or as other applicable law may permit to other residents) that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.  We currently do not offer any incentive program.

California’s “Shine the Light”
CA Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to compliance@eversidehealth.com or Privacy Officer, 1400 Wewatta Street, Suite 350 Denver, Colorado 80202.

California Do Not Track Disclosures
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to digital services that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity tracked. If a digital service that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that digital service from collecting certain Personal Information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we and many other digital service operators do not respond to DNT signals.

Everside Health has added a translation feature powered by Google Translate to assist people in understanding information on our website in a variety of foreign languages. Please be aware that Google Translate, a free third party service which Everside Health does not control, provides automated computer translations that may not give you an exact translation all the time.

The content of this site originated in English. If there are differences between the English content and its translation, the English content is always the most accurate. By choosing a language from the Google Translate menu, the user accepts the legal implications of any shortcomings or differences in the translation.

While Google’s translation service uses state-of-the-art technology, it does so without the intervention of human translators. Thus, the translations provided as part of the service are only an approximation of the website’s original content. You should not rely on Google™ Translate to provide an exact translation of the website. All text may not be translated correctly and some portions of the website may not be translated at all.

In addition, some applications and/or services may not work as expected when translated.

Everside Health has no control over the nature, content, and availability of the service, and accordingly, cannot guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of the translation. Everside Health shall not be liable for damages or losses of any kind arising out of, or in connection with, the use or performance of such information, including but not limited to, damages or losses caused by reliance upon the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of any such information, or damages arising from or in connection with use of the Google™ Translate Service.

Policy Summary and Scope

At Everside Health (“Everside” or “Company”)) we seek to treat all teammates fairly and create a diverse and inclusive environment. We respect human and labor rights standards, through compliance with all applicable laws and our commitment to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Additionally, Everside’s practices align with the United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”) principles and International Labour Organization (“ILO”) conventions. This includes prohibitions against discrimination, employing underage children, slavery, human trafficking, forced labor and any form of physical punishment or abuse. This policy applies to all Everside teammates and contractors acting on behalf of the Company.

Statement

Everside’s Code of Conduct and practices are aligned with the values in the UNGC and stress our commitment to human and labor rights. We are committed to fair, ethical and responsible business practices, as we engage with our teammates, consumers, customers, vendors and patients.

Privacy

Everside recognizes the importance of privacy and security in an individual’s life, including data privacy. As such, Everside has a privacy program in place to ensure the safe keeping and security of patient’s and individual’s data.

Diversity and Inclusion

In order for Everside to provide exceptional healthcare and occupational services, we recognize that it requires the best talent. As such, we take great efforts to focus on our diversity and inclusion especially around recruitment, development, engagement, and outreach. It is always our goal to attract and retain professionals with the diverse set of expertise our clients and company require in order to be successful.

Prohibition on Discrimination

We are committed to an inclusive workplace environment free from acts of discrimination and harassment and strive to make all employment decisions based on job-related qualifications without regard to race, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, medical condition, physical appearance, marital status, national origin, ancestry, alienage or citizenship status, pregnancy, ethnicity, religion/creed, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, marital or familial status, or any other category protected by applicable law (“protected characteristics”).

Living Wage

We comply with local minimum wage laws. We use market and industry standards to offer living wages where no wage law is in existence.

Prohibition on Child Labor

We abide by local child labor laws and do not use or condone child labor in any circumstance.

Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking

We do not use forced or compulsory labor. All employment is voluntary. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another for personal or commercial gain. Everside has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and client relationships.

Oversight

This policy statement will be reviewed and overseen for effective implementation, continuous improvements and monitoring by stakeholders in Human Resources, Legal/Compliance, and other interested parties.

Communication and Training

All teammates are expected to comply with this Human Rights and Labor Standards Statement. In furtherance of this, this written policy statement shall be made available to all teammates and/or training on a number of human rights and labor related issues may be created to include equal employment opportunity, anti-harassment, Code of Conduct compliance, anti-corruption, and privacy as determined to be necessary.

Reporting

Teammates may report any concerns related to known or suspected violations to this policy through the regular procedures established by Everside Compliance Department, contacting their supervisors or by emailing/calling the Compliance Hotline (reports@lighthouse-services.com or toll free at 844-280-0005).

The information and resources contained on and accessible through the Site are made available by Everside Health and its suppliers and vendors, and other third parties, in each case subject to your agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.  BY USING THE SITE, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF, ANY OTHER PERSON (A “BENEFICIARY”), YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH BENEFICIARY TO THIS AGREEMENT; IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH LEGAL AUTHORITY, SUCH BENEFICIARY WILL NOT ACCESS, USE OR OTHERWISE BENEFIT FROM THE SITE. 

References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Site and any such Beneficiary.  We may update this Agreement at any time, and may notify you of such updates by any reasonable means, including by posting the updated Agreement to the Site. Any changes in updating this Agreement will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the updated Agreement, or otherwise notified you of such updated Agreement. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. YOU AGREE TO PERIODICALLY REVIEW THIS PAGE TO DETERMINE IF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN UPDATED. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE FOLLOWING ANY UPDATES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE NOTICE AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE UPDATED AGREEMENT.

Eligibility for Medical Treatment

If you enter into any other agreement with Everside Health including, but not limited to, a treatment relationship with a provider, then this Agreement is in addition to the terms of such other agreement. Accessing or using the Site or entering into this Agreement does not guarantee that you are eligible to receive treatment or obligate Everside Health to provide any service to you or enter into any other agreement with you. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine whether and to what extent you are eligible to receive any of our services. If, in our sole discretion, you are ineligible to receive treatment, Everside Health may (but have no obligation to) refer you to another provider.

Healthcare Services

Through Everside Health centers and this Site, you may have access to medical treatment, diagnosis, care, or advice services from healthcare providers (the “Healthcare Services”).  Resale of products or services, including any prescriptions received in connection with a treatment plan provided in connection with the Healthcare Services is specifically prohibited. We reserve the right to refuse to provide treatment to you if it reasonably appears to us that you have not provided us with accurate information or you intend to resell any prescriptions received. We do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any information you provide to us.

Verification of information may be required prior to providing your treatment plan. Price, availability of any service, and any other information, descriptions or images available through the Site regarding any products or services, are subject to change without notice.

By submitting any information through the Site in connection with receiving the Healthcare Services, you grant to us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating such Healthcare Services. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. Further terms and conditions related to transactions in connection with the Site or the Healthcare Services may apply.

Dispute Resolution

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND EVERSIDE HEALTH OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR VENDORS, ON THE OTHER HAND, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT EVERSIDE HEALTH AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available here), as amended by this Agreement. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. If you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Everside Health will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief, or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

With the exception of any of the language above in this Dispute Resolution provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions, if a court decides that any part of this Dispute Resolution provision is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Dispute Resolution provision shall still apply. If a court decides that any aspect of the language above in this Dispute Resolution provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution provision shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement will continue to apply and be unaffected by this severability provision.

Governing Law

This Agreement, your use of the Site, all transactions through the Site, and all related matters, regardless of your location, are governed solely by, and construed solely in accordance with, the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of Delaware, excluding any rules of private international law or the conflict of laws which would lead to the application of any other laws. This Agreement will not be governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Telehealth Services

Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. While the provision of health care services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. Telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person health care in all cases.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA” or “Act”) grants California residents (“you”) certain privacy rights in their personal information. Effective January 1, 2023, the CCPA applies to the personal information a business collects from job applicants, employees/teammates, owners, directors, officers or independent contractors of the business. This Privacy Notice only applies to residents of the State of California.

The CCPA requires a business that collects personal information from California residents to disclose at or before the point of collection, the categories of personal information to be collected, the purposes for which that information is to be collected or used, whether that information is sold or shared for behavioral purposes, and the length of time a business intends to retain that information. If sensitive personal information is to be collected, the Act requires a business to disclose the purposes for which it is collected or used and whether such information is sold or shared.

This Privacy Notice provided by Everside Health, hereinafter referred to as “Company,” is intended to meet these requirements. The CCPA defines various terms used in this Privacy Notice such as: consumer, sale, share, cross-context behavioral advertising and the definitions of those terms are incorporated herein.

If you are a job applicant or independent contractor, additional information about your rights under the CCPA can be found within the Company’s Online Privacy Policy link.  Additional information for Company teammates and workforce about your CCPA rights can be found in our California Privacy Rights Statement on the Company’s intranet Online Privacy and more information may be on the internal Compliance Hub.

The CCPA defines personal information as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. The CCPA also has recognized a category personal information called “sensitive personal information” which is listed in the chart below.

Personal information under the CCPA, however, does not include:

• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information.
• Publicly available information from federal, state or local government records, or information that a business has a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by the consumer, or from widely distributed media, or made available by a person to whom the

consumer has disclosed the information without restricting the information to a specific audience. Personal information also does not include lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern.

The CCPA further excludes certain types of information from its definition of personal information:

• Medical or health information covered by the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1966 (“HIPAA”) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (“CMIA”) and certain types of clinical trial or biomedical research study data.
• Personal information covered by certain specific privacy laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), or California Financial Information Privacy Act (“FIPA”) and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.
