Your Privacy Matters

PRIVACY ADDENDUM FOR CALIFORNIA AND OTHER U.S. STATES

This California and Other U.S. States Privacy Addendum (“Privacy Addendum”) provides the information that U.S. states require us to tell you in addition to, but not in place of, our online Global Privacy Notice. Please keep in mind that we are a vendor to many companies and those companies have their own privacy notices. We process claims under contract with them, so their privacy notices will apply to your information. This Privacy Addendum only applies when we are the business collecting and using your information (and not doing so on behalf of other companies or as an employer or future employer). Each state’s laws use different terms, such as “personal data” or “personally identifiable information” or “personal information.” We will use “Personal Data” throughout this Privacy Addendum to collectively include all terms.

 

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Addendum any time at our discretion. When we make changes to this Privacy Addendum, we will post the updated version on our website and include that date. Should you have any questions, once you’ve read the Notice and this Privacy Addendum, please email us at privacy@tailoredclaims.comWe encourage you to review this Privacy Addendum regularly to stay informed about how we protect your Personal Data. Notice to U.S. Residents of California and Other States If you are a resident of certain states, such as California, Virginia, and others – your state may provide you with certain rights and requires us to provide you with information on the data we collect, use, and share and other details.
