Right to Portability – you have the right to request that a copy of your Personal Information is provided to you or to such other third party as you specify in a commonly used and machine-readable format for any Personal Information we may have collected.
Communications with You
When you registered for our Services and opened a user account, you expressly opted into our right to communicate with you by email, mail, phone, text and/or chat. You may subsequently opt out of receiving communications from us by certain methods (e.g., utilizing the unsubscribe option found in the footer of each email, not selecting our chat function, etc.). In addition, you may request to opt out of all marketing materials by contacting us.
Our Data Security
Although we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information when transmitted over the Internet, we use secure sockets layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your data during transmission to us. To the extent it is collected, it is generally stored on secure servers located in the United States. Data security is implemented through appropriate physical, administrative, and technical safeguards we put in place and operational procedures we follow to protect your Personal Information.
We may collect your Personal Information from, transfer it to, and store and process your data in the United States or in other countries. For example, your transmission of Personal Information through the Services when you are outside of the United States requires our ability to collect, transfer and process such Personal Information from that country to the United States.
We use encryption with our Services, requiring you to use a user ID and password for any user account, and limiting access to your Personal Information to those persons who have a need to access your Personal Information to provide our Services to you, to improve our Services and as required to comply with legal obligations.
Data Retention
We retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to provide you our Services, to operate our business, and as long as we are legally required to keep it.
You have the right to ask us to delete your Personal Information at any time. Please note that deletion of your Personal Information may affect your use of our Services and will de-activate any user account.
In addition, while we will take every reasonable step to delete your personally identifiable information we may collect, including the de-activation of any user account, we may be required to retain some Personal Information to comply with our obligations to our customer (i.e., the plan sponsor), our systems requirements, and/or our legal obligations.
