    • Retention Periods
      We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
    • Privacy Choices
      If you are a California resident, you have certain choices regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information, as described below:

      • Access: The right to request, twice in a 12-month period, to have us disclose to you the personal information we have collected, used, disclosed and sold about you during the past 12 months.
      • Correction: The right to request that we make commercially-reasonable efforts to correct information about you that is inaccurate.
      • Deletion: The right to request that we delete certain personal information we have collected from you. Your request to delete your personal information may be denied if it is necessary for us to retain your information under one or more of the exceptions listed in the CCPA.
      • Opt-Out of Automated Decision-Making: The right to request access to and information about how automated decision technologies work and what their likely outcomes are, and to opt out of the use of automate decision making technology, including profiling. However, we do not utilize automated decision-making technologies, so you have no need to affirmatively opt out.
      • Opt-Out of Sale: The right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. However, we do not sell your personal information, so you have no need to affirmatively opt out.
      • Opt-In if Under 16: The personal information of California residents who are 16 years old or younger may not be sold without that minor’s prior authorization. If the minor is less than 13 years old, their personal information may not be sold without “opt-in” authorization from a parent or guardian. As noted, however, we never sell your personal information.
      • Shine the Light Request: California residents have the right to request that we provide you with: (1) a list of certain categories of personal information we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, and (2) the identity of those third parties.
    • How to Submit a Request or Opt-Out/In (California Residents)
      For a California resident to submit a request, or to opt-out/into of the sale or sharing of your personal information, email us at Privacy@inovalon.com. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. If you request access to or deletion of your personal information, we may require you to provide certain information to help us identify you. In addition, if you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of personal information, we will require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. If you designate an authorized agent to make an access, deletion or opt-out of sale request on your behalf (1) we may require you to provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and (2) for access and deletion requests, we may require you to verify your own identity directly with us (as described above).

      The CCPA prohibits discrimination against a consumer because the consumer exercised any of the consumer’s rights under the CCPA. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request. This Statement is available in alternative formats upon request. To request this Statement in an alternative format, email us at Privacy@inovalon.com.

      Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. In the case of access and deletion, your request must be verifiable before we can fulfill such request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority.

      We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. Under normal circumstances, we will provide you with requested information in a readily usable format, within forty-five (45) days of verifying your request. 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.
