Use of Personal Information
We may use, or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:
To fulfill or meet the reason
you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and
contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our
products or services, we will use that personal information to respond

facilitate new product orders or process returns.
To provide you with support
and to respond to your inquiries, including to investigate and address
your concerns and monitor and improve our responses.
To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
As described to you when collecting your personal information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA.
We will not collect additional
categories of personal information or use the personal information we
collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes
without providing you notice.
Sharing Personal Information
We may disclose your personal
information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose
personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that
describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that
personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except
performing the contract.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, ConnectWell has not disclosed personal information for a business purpose.
Sales of Personal Information
ConnectWell does not, and in the preceding twelve (12) months, has not sold personal information.
Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers
(California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal
information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to
exercise those rights.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request
that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use
of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive
and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request
that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from
you and retained, subject to certain exceptions, by emailing us at info@connectwell.health
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
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.
Detect security incidents,
protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity,
or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure
the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or
exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
Engage in public or
peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the
public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy
laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or
seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided
informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
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 sending us a message to info@connectwell.health
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. 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 respond to a
verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt.
If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the
reason and extension period in writing. 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 by electronic mail communication.
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.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
While ConnectWell does not
sell any personal information, you have the right, if you are 16 years
of age or older, to direct us to not sell your personal information at
any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal
information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age,
unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”)
from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the
parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers
who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at
any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized
representative) may submit a request to us by sending us a message to info@connectwell.health
Once you make an opt-out
request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to
reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your
mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by
visiting our Website and sending us a message. We will only use personal
information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with
the request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, 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 that can result in
different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial
incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal
information’s value and contain written terms that describe the
program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive
program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any
time.
California’s “Shine the Light”
law (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 us an email to info@connectwell.health
