- The legal category of personal information,
- The types of personal information we collect about you for each legal category,

- The business purposes for which we share your personal information and with whom.

How to Make a Request: If you would like to make a request, please email us at [email protected]. You will need to provide your first and last name, phone number, the relationship you have or had with us (whether you are an internal employee or a clinician), request details, and the type of request you want to make.
We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then-active databases as soon as practicable, but it is not always possible to completely change, remove or delete all of your information. Further, we reserve the right to retain data (a) as required by applicable law; and (b) as long as we need it or as long as the law allows or requires.

Your request will be evaluated to determine whether the requested change meets legal regulatory requirements. If we aren’t able to honor any part of your request, we will tell you that in our response, as well as the reason(s) we cannot do so.
Verifying Your Identity:
In order for us to look into your request, we first need to verify your identity, meaning that we need to make sure that you are the individual whose personal information we collected, or that you are a person who has been duly authorized to make the request on behalf of another person. For example, if you make a request, we will ask you to confirm your email address and phone number. For certain requests, we will use a combination of your email address, phone number, zip code, and/or birth date to verify your identity, so that we can help protect your information. If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we will require you to verify your identity and provide the information outlined in “How to Make a Request” above.
Requests by Authorized Agents:
You may have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Authorized agents may make a request by emailing [email protected]. As permitted by California Privacy Law, we will still verify your identity, the agent’s identity, and confirm that you have given the agent the authority to make a request on your behalf. When we confirm an agent’s authority, this may include attestation under penalty of perjury. Absent a power of attorney, we will also require you to verify your own identity. We may verify identity based on matching information you provided with data we have maintained on you in our systems.
