 If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see Who we are and our DPO).We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

8. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This section only applies to users of our services who reside in the State of California and is intended to describe our practices and your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) (collectively, the “CCPA/CPRA”).

For purposes of this Notice to California Residents, the term “personal information” means 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. Personal information does not include (i) publicly available information that is made available from federal, state, or local government records, (ii) lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern; (iii) information that we have a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by the consumer or from widely distributed media, or by the consumer; (iv) information made available by a person to whom the consumer has disclosed the information if the consumer has not restricted the information to a specific audience; (v) information collected in a clinical trial or other biomedical research study subject to, or conducted in accordance with, applicable regulations or guidelines on the protection of human subjects; (vi) donor information collected and maintained by us in compliance with the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA); or (vii) anonymized or aggregated data that cannot be used to identify you.

California privacy rights.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights, for example, by charging a different price or denying goods or services.

Methods for submitting requests. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email privacy@bioivt.com with the phrase “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line. You may also send a postcard to us at BioIVT LLC, PO BOX 770 Hicksville, NY 11802 (please mark the envelope ‘Data Protection Officer’) or call us toll-free at (888) 488-3232. We will review your request and respond accordingly. The rights described herein are not absolute, and we reserve all of our rights available to us at law in this regard. Additionally, if we retain your personal information only in de-identified form, we will not attempt to re-identify your data in response to a California privacy rights request.

If you make a request related to personal information about you, you will be required to supply a valid means of identification as a security precaution. We will verify your identity with a reasonably high degree of certainty using the following procedure where feasible: we will match identifying information you provide when making the request to the personal information maintained by us, or use a third-party identity verification service. If it is necessary to collect additional information, we will use the information only for verification purposes and will delete it as soon as practicable after complying with your request. For requests related to particularly sensitive information, we may require additional proof of your identity.

If you make a California privacy rights request through an authorized agent, we will require written proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf.

We will process your request within the timeframe provided by applicable law.

share” are traditionally understood. We do not sell or share personal information (including de-identified personal information) to third parties for money. During the past 12 months, we may have engaged in delivering online advertising that was tailored to your interests, but we did not disclose data that would identify you by name, address, or phone number. To the extent “sale” or “share” under the CCPA/CPRA is interpreted to include advertising technology activities such as those disclosed here and in our Privacy Policy as a “sale” or “sharing,” we will comply with applicable law, including the CCPA/CPRA, as to such activity. As described herein, you have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information.

Any personal data subject to this Policy, including personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA, is kept for so long as we are required for the purposes set out in the Policy, or as long as we are legally required or permitted to retain such information. When deciding how long to retain your personal information, we take into account our legal and regulatory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information described above and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We may also retain your personal information to investigate or defend against potential legal claims in accordance with the limitation periods of countries where legal action may be brought.

To help protect the privacy of personal data you transmit, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards and, to the extent required by law,  require the same of any third parties we share your personal data with. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. In addition, we train our staff about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your personal data.

As you will be aware the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take measures to protect your personal data, as described above, no security measures are perfect and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our Site or otherwise provided to us; any transmission is at your own risk. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable data protection authority of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. To opt out of marketing communications, see Opting out below.

Donation Notifications: We may, with your opt-in through an online or paper form submission, contact you via SMS text message or email, regarding your eligibility to donate either because the required wait period between biological material donations (e.g. whole blood) has ended, or because we have a special donation program for which we believe you may be qualified. We will not contact you for non-donation related items.

Test Results: We may contact you, when required, to share information resulting from the viral testing done on blood/plasma that you have previously donated. Contacting you to provide you with the viral test information on your previous donation(s) is required by various governmental entities and you may not opt-out of it.

Third-party marketing: We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out: You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us (see Who we are and our DPO) any time. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided us because of a product/service purchase, product/service experience or other transactions. Please note that if you ask us not to contact you by email at a certain email address, we will retain a copy of that email address on a “suppression list” to comply with your no-contact request.

To opt out from all future communications (with the exception of the requirement to share viral test results) or to submit a request to access, modify, or delete your personal data, please email privacy@bioivt.com.
