Privacy Notice for California Residents

PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

 

[Last Modified: July 15, 2024]

 

 

Applicability

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), together with any other California privacy laws, and this CCPA Notice apply to Visitors, Customers, applicants for employment, and independent contractors, and others who are California residents (“consumers” or “you”). Any terms defined in the CCPA and CPRA have the same meaning when used in this CCPA Privacy Notice.

This CCPA Notice is an integral part of our Privacy Policy, and thus, definitions used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy.

 

This CCPA Notice is relevant for residents of California and pertains to Personal Information that we collect both directly and indirectly in our role as a Business during the use or provision of our Services. If you are an End User, as defined in our Privacy Policy (specifically, a user of our App for managing your fertility treatments), your Personal Information is likely processed by us acting as a “Service Provider” for one of our Customers, which is usually your healthcare provider. In such instances, the Customer is considered the “Business” and retains ownership of your Personal Information. This Notice details only our data collection practices as a Business. It does not affect our responsibilities under the CCPA, but please be aware that the Customer is accountable for providing you with disclosures and information about how your data is processed and used.

 

PART I: A COMPREHENSIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE INFORMATION PRACTICES:

(1)      Categories Of Personal Information

We collect Personal Information which is defined under the CCPA as any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household or device, all as detailed in the table below. Personal Information further includes Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”).

Personal Information does not include: publicly available information that is lawfully made available from government records, that a consumer has otherwise made available to the public; De-identified or aggregated consumer information; Information excluded from the CCPA’s or CPRA’s scope, such as: Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; Personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA) and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Furthermore, as explained above, although our Product and Services involve the processing of “Sensitive” data as defined under US State Laws, including health-related data of End Users, we are not the Business or legal controller of such data. Therefore, the disclosures in this CCPA Notice do not apply to such data. We act solely as a Data Processor, processing data strictly according to our Customers’ instructions, who are the relevant Business pertaining to such data.
