We use personal information to assess your qualifications for employment and other related services during the application and recruitment stage.

We may also share personal information with third parties when we believe that the disclosure is required to comply with a court order, subpoena, warrant or other legal process, and with related companies in the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other related transaction, or when we believe that the disclosure is required by law or to protect the safety of our employees, the public or HealthDrive’s property.

If you are hired by HealthDrive, your personal information will be subject to a separate employee privacy policy.
Security
HealthDrive has reasonable and appropriate safeguards in place to help protect the personal information HealthDrive collects from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Although HealthDrive attempts to protect the personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and HealthDrive cannot promise that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances.

Notice concerning Do Not Track. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our websites for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. Some web browsers offer users a “Do Not Track” privacy preference setting in the web browser. We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals. Please note that “Do Not Track” is a distinct privacy mechanism from the browser-based opt out signals referenced above, which HealthDrive does honor in accordance with applicable law.
Links to Third Party Websites
Our Website may contain certain links to third party websites. HealthDrive is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices or content found on these websites. You should check the privacy notice and policies of each website you visit. Links to third party websites are provided solely for your convenience and any use or submission of data to such websites shall be at your sole risk.
Your Privacy Rights
If you reside in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Virginia, you may have legal rights with respect to your personal information. You may have the right to: (i) request additional disclosures about the personal information we collect, use, and share; (ii) request access to and deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information; (iv) correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you; (v) limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information; and (vi) obtain a copy of your personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Methods for submitting requests. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email RADept@healthdrive.com with the phrase “Privacy Rights” in the subject line. You may also send a request to us via mail at 100 Crossing Blvd., Suite 300, Framingham, MA 01702. Please mark the envelope ‘Data Protection Officer’ or call us toll-free at (888) 964-6681. We will process your request within the timeframe provided by applicable law. 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 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.
Authorized Agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit a right to know or right to deletion request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request for you. To protect your personal information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit adequate proof that you authorized them to act for you.
Sale of Personal Information. We do not generally sell personal information as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. We do not sell 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” under the CCPA or other applicable law is interpreted to include advertising technology activities such as those disclosed here and in our Privacy Policy as a “sale,” we will comply with applicable law, including the CCPA, as to such activity. As described below, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information. Additionally, you should know that the CCPA prohibits third parties to whom we “sell” personal information from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.
Verification. When you exercise your right to know or right to delete, we will take steps to verify your identity with a reasonably high degree of certainty before processing your request. We may ask for additional information so that we can verify your identity. 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. We will only use the personal information you provide to us in response to this request to verify your identity and to process your request, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose. 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.
Shine the Light: Individuals who are California residents may request (i) a list of categories of personal information disclosed to third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes; and (ii) a list of the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such information. To exercise a request, please send us an email or a letter to the addresses in the section entitled “Contact Us” above and specify you are making a “California Shine the Light” request. We may require additional information from you to allow us to verify your identity and are only required to respond to requests once during any calendar year.
