Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the “Sale” and “Sharing” of your personal information by our business pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary compensation. We may, however, use analytics and cookies on our website to help us understand website traffic, engagement and effectiveness, and some of the third parties we use for this purpose may collect data about you as part of their service to us. Because we do not control this data collection, and the vendors retain the information for themselves, this data collection may be considered a “Sale” under the CCPA. Also, because we do not know your identity when you navigate our website, we cannot act upon a request not to “Sell” your information by asking who you are. However, we have coded our website to honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals available as of the posting of this notice. Therefore, if you download and implement your browser’s GPC software plugin, absent changes to the software used for this since our initial coding efforts, the signal sent by the GPC will be detected by our website, which should disable third party tracking.

We do not “Share” personal information as this term is defined in the CCPA (i.e., for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising).

Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request that we limit our processing of your sensitive personal information pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We process and disclose sensitive personal information of individuals only to provide our services (e.g., to help clients manage benefit plans, if a fact in a litigation, etc.), and for identification of beneficiaries of our employees under medical, benefits and insurance plans. This information is necessary for us to meet our obligations to our clients, who have provided this information to us, and for human resources and benefits processing functions. Therefore, at this time, we cannot limit the processing of any sensitive personal information.

If you believe that your sensitive personal information was given to us in error, we encourage you to discuss this with the business that originally made the information available to us so that they can provide us instructions with respect to its handling.
