Privacy Notice

Welcome to Health Access Innovation—a platform designed to help Americans to appeal denials of healthcare insurance coverage. This Privacy Notice explains how Health Access Innovation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ("Health Access Innovation," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data in connection with its platform, the Coverage Denial Support Program, and https://healthaccessinnovation.org/, as well as any specific product, service, or application that references or links to this Privacy Notice (the "Services"). We may also choose or be required by law to provide different or additional disclosures relating to the processing of personal data about residents of certain countries, regions, or states. Please refer to the Region-Specific Disclosures section below for additional disclosures that may be applicable to you.

This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to Health Access Innovation job applicants, employees and other employment-related individuals, nor data that is not subject to applicable data protection laws (such as deidentified or publicly available information). This Privacy Notice is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law.

Health Access Innovation is not a "covered entity" or a "business associate" as those terms are defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (collectively, "HIPAA"). Accordingly, any health-related information that we receive – including that may have been considered "protected health information" (as defined under 45 CFR § 160.103) while in possession of a HIPAA-covered entity – ceases to be subject to HIPAA once it has been disclosed to us. Once that data is in our possession, it is subject to this Privacy Notice and not HIPAA. If you have any questions about the extent to which your information is subject to HIPAA before it comes into our possession, you should contact the relevant HIPAA-covered entity, such as your health care provider or health plan.

Our Collection and Use of Personal Data

The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you interact with us and our Services. For example, you may provide us your personal data directly when you sign up for our mailing list, register for an account, or otherwise contact us or interact with us.

Personal Data Provided by Individuals

We collect the following categories of personal data individuals provide us:

Contact Information, including first and last name, phone number, mailing address, email address, and communication preferences. We use this information primarily to communicate with you directly, with your authorization, locate medical records we may need to handle your appeal, and to send you promotional communications in accordance with your preferences.

We use this information primarily to administer your account, provide you with our Services, communicate with you regarding your account and your use of our Services, and for customer support purposes.

If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to your inquiry. We may provide additional privacy disclosures where the scope of the request we receive or personal data we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Notice. In that case, the additional privacy disclosures will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.

Personal Data Automatically Collected

We, and our third-party partners, automatically collect information you provide to us and information about how you access and use our Services when you engage with us. We typically collect this information through the use of a variety of our own and our third-party partners' automatic data collection technologies, including (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual's computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. Information we collect automatically about you may be combined with other personal data we collect directly from you or receive from other sources.

We, and our third-party partners, use automatic data collection technologies to automatically collect the following data when you use our services or otherwise engage with us:

Information About Your Device and Network, including the device type, manufacturer, and model, operating system, IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, and unique identifiers associated with you, your device, or your network (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or advertising ID). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to recognize when two or more devices are likely being used by the same individual and may leverage these technologies (where permitted) to link information collected from different devices.

Information About the Way Individuals Use Our Services and Interact With Us, including the site from which you came, the site to which you are going when you leave our services, how frequently you access our services, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access our services from multiple devices, and other browsing behavior and actions you take on our services (such as the pages you visit, the content you view, the communications you have through our services, and the content, links and ads you interact with). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to collect detailed information about browsing behavior and actions that you take on our services, which may record your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on our Services and other browsing. These third-party technologies may also record information you enter when you interact with our Services, or engage in chat features or other communication platforms we provide.

Information About Your Location, including general geographic location that we or our third-party providers may derive from your IP address.

All of the information collected automatically through these tools allows us to improve your customer experience. For example, we may use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to monitor and improve our Services, to offer communications features such as live and automated chat, and to improve the effectiveness of our Services, offers, communications and customer service. We may also use this information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) identify you across multiple devices; (d) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our services; (e) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our website; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (g) otherwise to plan for and enhance our products and services.

You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information and/or linking or connecting them to other services.

We may disclose, transfer, or assign personal data to a third party during negotiation of, in connection with, or as an asset in such a transaction or reorganization. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, such a transaction or reorganization will occur, if at all, in compliance with the laws applicable to such nonprofit transactions and reorganizations. Also, in the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, receivership, or insolvency, your personal data may be disclosed, transferred, or assigned to third parties in connection with the proceedings or disposition of our assets.

Automatic Data Collection Preferences

Where a Health Access Innovation-specific preference manager or privacy setting is not available, you may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies.

Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our Services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.

Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Data

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting your personal data, you can contact us directly at legal@healthaccessinnovation.org. We may not be able to modify or delete your personal data in all circumstances.

Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as your mobile device or social media provider), may provide you with additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our Services from accessing certain types of information from your device, and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent the sharing of certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider's user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Children's Personal Data

While parents may choose to upload data about their children to our Services, our services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 18. If an individual is under the age of 18, they should not use our services or otherwise provide us with any personal data. If a child under the age of 18 has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child's parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 18, we will promptly delete that personal data.

[ 05 ]

Retention of Personal Data

We will usually retain the personal data we collect about you for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and applicable law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal data for longer periods of time as required under applicable law or as needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.

To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other applicable obligations.

Once retention of the personal data is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal data or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal data and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

[ 07 ]

Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, applications and other services. Except where we post, link to or expressly adopt or refer to this Privacy Notice, this Privacy Notice does not apply to any personal data practices of third parties.

However, we do not sell personal data, and we do not process or otherwise share personal data for the purpose of displaying advertisements that are selected based on personal data obtained or inferred over time from an individual's activities across non-affiliated businesses or websites, applications, or other services (otherwise known as "targeted advertising" or "cross-context behavioral advertising").

Sensitive Personal Data

The following personal data elements we collect may be classified as "sensitive" under certain privacy laws:

Health Information, such as your health records, medical history, and any other health-related information you choose to provide to us.

We use sensitive personal data for the purposes set forth in the Our Collection and Use of Personal Data section of our Privacy Notice. We do not sell sensitive personal data, and we do not process or otherwise share sensitive personal data for the purpose of targeted advertising.

Deidentified Information

We may at times receive, or process personal data to create, deidentified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information except as required or permitted by law.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not conduct automated processing of personal data for the purposes of evaluating, analyzing, or predicting an individual's personal aspects in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. As a result, we do not provide a right to exercise control over such forms of automated decision-making and profiling.

Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices

Subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to exercise some or all of the following rights:

Right to Know: The right to confirm whether we are processing personal data about you.

Right to Access & Portability: The right to obtain access to the personal data we have collected about you and, where required by law, the right to obtain a copy of the personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity without hindrance.

Right to Correction: The right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes of the processing of the personal data.

Right to Control Over Sensitive Personal Data: The right to exercise control over our collection and processing of certain sensitive personal data.

Right to Deletion: The right to have us delete personal data we maintain about you.

You may also have the right to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights. However, the exercise of the rights described above may result in a different price, rate or quality level of product or service where that difference is reasonably related to the impact the right has on our relationship or is otherwise permitted by law.

Submitting Privacy Rights Requests

Please submit a request specifying the right you wish to exercise by emailing us at legal@healthaccessinnovation.org.

In relation to automatic data collection, you can follow the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section of the Your Privacy Choices section of our Privacy Notice to further exercise control over automatic data collection technologies.

Before processing your request to exercise certain rights (including the Right to Know, Access & Portability, Correction, and Deletion), we will need to verify your identity and confirm you are a resident of a state that offers the requested right(s). In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful authentication of your account, or the matching of sufficient information you provide us with the information we maintain about you in our systems. As a result, we require requests to include first and last name, email address, phone number, state of residency and/or the date of your last transaction with us.

In certain circumstances, we may decline or limit your request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems, or where you are not a resident of an eligible state.

Submitting Authorized Agent Requests

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above where we can verify the authorized agent's authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent's authority, we generally require evidence of either (i) a valid power of attorney or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.
