California Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy for California Consumers (“California Privacy Policy”) supplements the information contained in Urethrotech Group primary Privacy Policy. Urethrotech Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”) has adopted this California Privacy Policy in accordance with the notice requirements under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA”), and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this California Privacy Policy.

This California Privacy Policy is parallel in scope to our Privacy Policy.

Definitions specific to this policy

The CCPA includes definitions for terms specific to this California Privacy Policy that do not apply to our Privacy Policy, including the following terms:

“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal Information does not include publicly available information obtained from government records; deidentified or aggregated consumer information that cannot be reconstructed to identify you; any information covered under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or the California Financial Information Privacy Act, activities covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, or protected health information as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

“Sale” or “sell” means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

“Service Provider” means a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, or other legal entity that is organized or operated for the profit or financial benefit of its shareholders or other owners, that processes information on behalf of a business and to which the business discloses a consumer’s Personal Information for a business purpose pursuant to a written contract.

“Third Party” means a person or entity who is not a business that collects Personal Information from consumers, as defined in the CCPA, and to whom the business discloses a consumer’s Personal Information for a business purpose pursuant to a written contract.

The Personal Information we collect and disclose

The chart below shows the categories of Personal Information we collect; examples of the type of Personal Information in each category; all types of sources from which each category of Personal Information is collected; the business purpose(s) for which that category of Personal Information is collected; and all types of third parties with whom that category of Personal Information is shared. As this chart shows, we disclose certain Personal Information to third parties for a business purpose.

Categories of Personal Information we sell

We do not sell certain Personal Information. This does not include disclosures that are not a “sale” under the CCPA, including when:

  • Consumers instruct us to disclose their Personal Information
  • A consumer instructs us to interact with a third party that does not sell that information
  • We use or share consumers’ Personal Information pursuant to a written contract with a service provider that is necessary to perform a business purpose, where our contract prevents the provider from using, keeping, or disclosing consumers’ Personal Information for any purpose other than the reason supplied in the contract

You may make such a request up to twice in a 12-month span. Please note that there are circumstances in which we may not be able to comply with your request pursuant to the CCPA, including when we cannot verify your request and/or when there is a conflict with our own obligations to comply with other legal or regulatory requirements. We will notify you following submission of your request if this is the case.

Your rights under California law

Right to access

If you are a California consumer, you have the right to ask us to send you the following information up to two times in a twelve-month period:

(1) the categories of Personal Information collected about you; (2) the categories of sources providing that Personal Information; (3) the categories of third parties with whom we have shared that Personal Information; (4) the business purpose for collecting that Personal Information; (5) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you; and (6) the categories of Personal Information that were disclosed for a business purpose.

Right to delete

If you are a California consumer, you have the right to ask us to delete the Personal Information about you we have collected. We may deny the request if the information is necessary to:

  • Complete a transaction, including providing a requested or reasonably anticipated good or service, or fulfill a contract between the consumer and Urethrotech;
  • Detect and protect against security incidents, malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or take action against those responsible for such activity;
  • Exercise free speech or another right provided for by law;
  • Engage in research in the public interest adhering to applicable ethics and privacy laws where the consumer has provided informed consent;
  • Otherwise use the information internally in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.

Right to opt out

You have the right to request that we do not sell Personal Information that we have collected.  If you exercise that right, please note that pursuant to the CCPA, we may have to subsequently inform you that you need to opt in if the sale of your Personal Information is required to complete a transaction you have initiated. If opting in is required, we will provide you with the necessary instructions.

If you use an authorized agent to submit your request to opt out, we will request that the agent provide us with proof that he, she, or it has been authorized by you to act on your behalf. The CCPA requires you to provide the authorized agent written permission to exercise your rights under the CCPA.
