Privacy Statement for California Residents

In this section references to “We”, “Us”, “Our” refer to Flexicare (Group) Limited and its US located subsidiary Flexicare Incorporated. This section supplements the information set out in our Privacy Statement above and applies to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) may provide you with additional rights regarding the use of your personal information. For the avoidance of doubt terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this section.

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. These rights include:

    • access to the personal information we process about you;
    • the right to request the deletion of your personal information (subject to certain exceptions);
    • the right to opt-out from the sale of your personal information (if applicable); and the right not be discriminated against for exercising any of your rights.

You can exercise your data privacy rights by emailing inquiries@flexicare.com or contacting us on 949-450-9999.

Please note that we may require that you provide evidence of your identity and/or address and that you may only make a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. We will not be able to respond to any requests or provide any personal information if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

We may deny your deletion request in certain limited circumstances if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to perform certain actions.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to the maximum permitted under by the CCPA), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding your request (following verification of your identity or authorization rights). 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.

No fee is charged 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.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

The CCPA provides consumers with the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. We do not have any arrangements for the sale of any personal information and confirm that in the preceding 12 months we have not sold personal information that we collected from California residents.

Non-discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. This means that save where permitted by the CCPA, we will not deny you any goods or services, provide a different level or quality for those goods or services or charge different prices or rates for those goods or services.

Information we collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device (“personal information”). Please note that personal information does not include:
