Although Healthwise is a non-profit organization based in and operated from the State of Idaho in the United States, we have adopted a global view on privacy with the intent of providing our employees with strong privacy rights regardless of where they reside. We have attempted to recognize and implement high standards for privacy rights compliance by recognizing the tenets of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) as our standard for providing privacy protections to our employees.
Extending the privacy rights offered under the CCPA, our U.S. employees have certain privacy rights including:
- The right to know, at or before the point of collection, the categories of Personal Data to be collected and the purposes for which the categories of personal information will be used. We have detailed these categories and purposes in this Notice.
- The right of private action in the event of a negligent data breach.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as we have employees working with us from many different states in the U.S., we seek to comply with state privacy laws that apply where our employees reside.
Your Personal Data is retained for the duration of your Covered Relationship with Healthwise, plus a reasonable time period thereafter, and as necessary to fulfil our business purposes disclosed in this Notice. The specific duration of retention depends on many factors, including the record type, your relationship with Healthwise, and your employment location. Our
Healthwise Global Privacy Notice provides additional information on how we will respond to you if you exercise your data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
With respect to Covered Relationship activities with Healthwise, Healthwise is considered to be the “controller” of your Personal Data under applicable data privacy regulations. Other entities that we work with during Covered Relationship activities may also act as controllers of your Personal Data and you should contact them if you have any questions about how they use your Personal Data.
