10.2 How to exercise your rights<\/strong>
You may contact us in writing at any time to exercise your rights, preferably using the email address that is associated with your user account. Your account also has a Unique ID number that you can use to communicate with us, so we do not have to use any of your personal data when troubleshooting your account. We use a Firebase installation ID (FID) or a privately stored GUID whenever possible as Android identifiers as a way to anonymize your account. We may need to request specific information from
you to help us confirm your identity.<\/p>

We do our best to respond to your request within a few days, and at least within one (1) month. If the request is complicated or if we have received a large number of requests, we may need to prolong our response time with one (1) additional month.<\/p>

You can exercise your rights at no cost to you. However, we may charge you a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our Services are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (\u201cHIPAA\u201d). While we maintain and use Personal Data, we are not a \u201cCovered Entity\u201d or \u201cBusiness Associate\u201d as defined by HIPAA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We permit residents of California to use our Services. Therefore, it is our intent to comply with the California Business and Professions Code 22575-22579 and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (\u201cCCPA\u201d). If you are a California resident you may request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. In summary, you must presume that we collect electronic information from all visitors. You may contact us either at privacy@thyforlife.com<\/a> with any questions or to exercise your rights as a California Resident.<\/p>

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:<\/p>

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Personal Information under the CCPA does not include: Publicly available information from government records. De-identified or aggregated consumer information. Information excluded from the CCPA\u2019s scope, such as: Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data. Financial Information covered by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and implementing regulations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

12.1 Response Timing and Format<\/strong><\/p>

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we
will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request\u2019s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

12.2 Non-Discrimination<\/strong><\/p>

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not: Deny you goods or services. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties. Provide
you a different level or quality of goods or services. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We also advise you to take precautionary steps to ensure that the privacy of your data is maintained. Always be responsible for ensuring that no one can see or have access to your personal accounts and login username and password information. If you are using a public computer, such as a library or university, or a shared system, remember to always log out of the ThyForLife Application or Services. When you use the ThyForLife Application or Services through your employer\u2019s computer or a mobile device owned by your employer or through an internet caf\u00e9, library or other internet link that is potentially insecure, then you use it at your risk.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
