Some of the services you may request from the Lumina Care Website may require a login and a password. The use of those web pages, and the information or programs downloadable from those sites, may be governed by a written agreement between that affiliated site and Lumina Care. Your personal information may be retained by Lumina Care to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, or to track software downloaded from those pages. Our affiliates or third party service providers provide services to us directly or to you on our behalf and that receive your personal information provided by you in request to provide those services. We may share your information with these third parties with your consent or at your request. For example, we run our online platform through a service provider and/or our affiliates that may receive your personal information to help us run our business. When applicable, we use a third party payment provider to process your cardholder data or claims data when you utilize the services via application, online or over the phone. We also use an e-mail list to conduct marketing for products and services, which may be shared with third party service providers and/or affiliates that provide us email distribution, digital marketing, and other services. (For more information on marketing, see the section below titled “Marketing email communications”.) If you’ve signed up for mobile text messaging offers, with your consent, we may send push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. If you decide later you no longer wish to receive these offers, simply follow the opt-out instructions included in the mobile message. If you interact with social media widgets, share content using social media share buttons or access features of our online services that contain content or features provided by social media platforms, the relevant social media platforms may collect or have access to personal information.

We do not collect personal information for the purpose of reselling or distributing that information to third parties for unrestricted use. However, please see the Information Sharing and Disclosure and Sale of Information sections below for additional details regarding third parties that may receive or collect your information when you interact with the Website. If we believe that we have collected personal information in error or that any information provided to us may expose Lumina Care or any individual to any risk, we may delete such information, without any responsibility to you or anyone for such deletion to the extent allowed by applicable laws.

Data Retention

We will retain data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This may include reasons such as the provision of services, compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations (including HIPAA and medical record retention requirements), dispute resolutions, and enforcement of our agreements.

If Lumina Care business units are sold or acquired by another party, then the acquiring entity may obtain access, possession and control of the personal information we collected.

Notification

This Privacy Policy is your notice that Lumina Care collects your personal information. We may also remind you at the point of collection of our collection and purposes for collecting your information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small data file that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of Lumina Care’s website use cookies to understand user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

We use the following types of Cookies:

  • Essential Cookies. Essential Cookies are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. For example, certain Cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our Services. Disabling these Cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.

  • Functional Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to record your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintain your preferences over time and recognize you when you return to our Services. These Cookies help us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

  • Performance/Analytical Cookies. Performance/Analytical Cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our Services. They do this by collecting information about the number of visitors to the Services, what pages visitors view on our Services and how long visitors are viewing pages on the Services. Performance/Analytical Cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our campaigns and the Services’ content for those who engage with our advertising. For example, Google Inc. (“Google”) uses cookies in connection with its Google Analytics services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Services is subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You have the option to opt-out of Google’s use of Cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at www.google.com/privacy_ads.html or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Lumina Care may partner with third party advertising networks to support our marketing activities. These advertising networks may recognize your visit to the Website by accessing their own cookies (third party cookies) stored on your computer. Lumina Care does not receive any information or history associated with these cookies, but we may use the advertising network to market our products and services to you. 

This sharing of information with third-party advertising networks for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”). You have the right to opt out of this sharing by clicking “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” at the bottom of our Website, or by sending a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal as described below.  If you desire to learn more about third party advertising networks, cookies, and opting out of ad network tracking, please take advantage of the ad choice tools provided to you. Here are two resources:

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn of all cookies, then certain Website features and functionality that require cookies may not work for you. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except access to certain of Lumina Care‘s web pages require a login and password.

Account and Password Security

For certain Website features and content, we may ask you to register an account with us and choose a password to access your account. Your Lumina Care account information will be accessible to anyone with user login and password. It is your sole responsibility to maintain the confidentiality, security and secrecy of your password, and Lumina Care will not be responsible if you do not secure your password or choose a strong password. Lumina Care strives to safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to the extent required by law. In certain areas of our websites, Lumina Care may use industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security of data transmissions. However, because of the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data you exchange with us will always remain completely secure. Third parties and bad actors may intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, neither Lumina Care nor any of our service providers can ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. We cannot and do not guarantee the complete security of any data you share with us, and except as expressly required by law, we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In the event of a security incident involving your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and, where required, regulators in accordance with applicable law, including the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and state breach notification statutes such as the New York SHIELD Act.

Children and Privacy

Our websites do not target and are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. Lumina Care does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13 years of age, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 years of age may have provided Personal Data to us, please contact us at legal@luminacare.com.

Third Party Websites

Lumina Care’s Website may contain links to other sites on the Internet. Lumina Care does not transmit information we collected about you to those websites, and Lumina Care is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you leave the Website, then your information may be governed by the privacy policy and terms and conditions of a third party, which may be a service provider of Lumina Care. It is your sole responsibility to learn about the privacy policies of companies that run other websites you may visit. For example, if you are applying for a career with Lumina Care, then your information may be processed by a third party such as Indeed.com, which may use your information according to their privacy policy. It is your responsibility to read and agree with the applicable privacy policy before visiting any external sites and providing your personal information.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals

We will honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal, where technically detectable, as a valid consumer request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and, where applicable, targeted advertising, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act. If you send us a GPC signal, we will apply it to the browser and device from which it is sent. 

There is no industry standard related to the understanding of what the “Do Not Track” browser signal means. Our website does not respond to these signals in any particular way outside the GPC as described above. To avoid tracking cookies, you may use an “incognito”, “private” or similar browser window to browse the Internet without tracking cookies. However, the software manufacturer of your browser may still track your activity. Please check with Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, DuckDuckGo or other browser providers for more information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the Website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

Notice to Business Contacts, Employees, and Job Applicants

We recognize the privacy rights of our contractors, business contacts, employees, and job applicants in accordance with applicable state laws. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may possess rights such as access, correction, deletion, and the ability to opt out of targeted advertising or data sales, subject to statutory exemptions (e.g., legally mandated employment recordkeeping).

Some of the services you may request from the Lumina Care Website may require a login and a password.

Your personal information may be retained by Lumina Care to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, or to track software downloaded from those pages. Our affiliates or third party service providers provide services to us directly or to you on our behalf and that receive your personal information provided by you in request to provide those services. We may share your information with these third parties with your consent or at your request. For example, we run our online platform through a service provider and/or our affiliates that may receive your personal information to help us run our business. When applicable, we use a third party payment provider to process your cardholder data or claims data when you utilize the services via application, online or over the phone. We also use an e-mail list to conduct marketing for products and services, which may be shared with third party service providers and/or affiliates that provide us email distribution, digital marketing, and other services. (For more information on marketing, see the section below titled “Marketing email communications”.) If you’ve signed up for mobile text messaging offers, with your consent, we may send push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. If you decide later you no longer wish to receive these offers, simply follow the opt-out instructions included in the mobile message. If you interact with social media widgets, share content using social media share buttons or access features of our online services that contain content or features provided by social media platforms, the relevant social media platforms may collect or have access to personal information.

We do not collect personal information for the purpose of reselling or distributing that information to third parties for unrestricted use. However, please see the Information Sharing and Disclosure and Sale of Information sections below for additional details regarding third parties that may receive or collect your information when you interact with the Website. If we believe that we have collected personal information in error or that any information provided to us may expose Lumina Care or any individual to any risk, we may delete such information, without any responsibility to you or anyone for such deletion to the extent allowed by applicable laws.

We will retain data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Notification

This Privacy Policy is your notice that Lumina Care collects your personal information. We may also remind you at the point of collection of our collection and purposes for collecting your information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small data file that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of Lumina Care’s website use cookies to understand user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

We use the following types of Cookies:

  • Essential Cookies. Essential Cookies are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. For example, certain Cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our Services. Disabling these Cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.

  • Functional Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to record your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintain your preferences over time and recognize you when you return to our Services. These Cookies help us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

  • Performance/Analytical Cookies. Performance/Analytical Cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our Services. They do this by collecting information about the number of visitors to the Services, what pages visitors view on our Services and how long visitors are viewing pages on the Services. Performance/Analytical Cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our campaigns and the Services’ content for those who engage with our advertising. For example, Google Inc. (“Google”) uses cookies in connection with its Google Analytics services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Services is subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You have the option to opt-out of Google’s use of Cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at www.google.com/privacy_ads.html or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Lumina Care may partner with third party advertising networks to support our marketing activities. These advertising networks may recognize your visit to the Website by accessing their own cookies (third party cookies) stored on your computer. Lumina Care does not receive any information or history associated with these cookies, but we may use the advertising network to market our products and services to you. 

This sharing of information with third-party advertising networks for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”). You have the right to opt out of this sharing by clicking “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” at the bottom of our Website, or by sending a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal as described below.  If you desire to learn more about third party advertising networks, cookies, and opting out of ad network tracking, please take advantage of the ad choice tools provided to you. Here are two resources:

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn of all cookies, then certain Website features and functionality that require cookies may not work for you. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except access to certain of Lumina Care‘s web pages require a login and password.

Account and Password Security

For certain Website features and content, we may ask you to register an account with us and choose a password to access your account. Your Lumina Care account information will be accessible to anyone with user login and password. It is your sole responsibility to maintain the confidentiality, security and secrecy of your password, and Lumina Care will not be responsible if you do not secure your password or choose a strong password. Lumina Care strives to safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to the extent required by law. In certain areas of our websites, Lumina Care may use industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security of data transmissions. However, because of the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data you exchange with us will always remain completely secure. Third parties and bad actors may intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, neither Lumina Care nor any of our service providers can ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. We cannot and do not guarantee the complete security of any data you share with us, and except as expressly required by law, we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In the event of a security incident involving your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and, where required, regulators in accordance with applicable law, including the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and state breach notification statutes such as the New York SHIELD Act.

Children and Privacy

Our websites do not target and are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. Lumina Care does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13 years of age, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 years of age may have provided Personal Data to us, please contact us at legal@luminacare.com.

Third Party Websites

Lumina Care’s Website may contain links to other sites on the Internet. Lumina Care does not transmit information we collected about you to those websites, and Lumina Care is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you leave the Website, then your information may be governed by the privacy policy and terms and conditions of a third party, which may be a service provider of Lumina Care. It is your sole responsibility to learn about the privacy policies of companies that run other websites you may visit. For example, if you are applying for a career with Lumina Care, then your information may be processed by a third party such as Indeed.com, which may use your information according to their privacy policy. It is your responsibility to read and agree with the applicable privacy policy before visiting any external sites and providing your personal information.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals

We will honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal, where technically detectable, as a valid consumer request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and, where applicable, targeted advertising, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act. If you send us a GPC signal, we will apply it to the browser and device from which it is sent. 

There is no industry standard related to the understanding of what the “Do Not Track” browser signal means. Our website does not respond to these signals in any particular way outside the GPC as described above. To avoid tracking cookies, you may use an “incognito”, “private” or similar browser window to browse the Internet without tracking cookies. However, the software manufacturer of your browser may still track your activity. Please check with Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, DuckDuckGo or other browser providers for more information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the Website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

This is so we can protect your privacy and data. Depending on the request or the sensitivity of the request, we may ask that you provide two, three or more pieces of personal information that matches information in our records, so that we may confirm your identity prior to processing your request.

Third Party Marketing

Under California law, users of Lumina Care who are residents of California may request certain information about our disclosure of personal information during the prior calendar year to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Sale of Information

We may share your personal information by allowing certain third parties to collect your personal information via automated technologies on our Services for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.
