Certain Float Services may use a different privacy policy to provide notice to you about how we us and disclose the Personal Information we collect in the context of that Service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the Personal Information we may collect about our customer’s patients and clients (“Clients”) in the context of providing the Services. Our treatment of Client Personal Information is governed by our agreements with our customers, including our Terms of Service and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, as applicable (our “Agreement”). If any provision in our Agreement conflicts with any provision in this Privacy Policy, the provision in our Agreement will control to the extent of such conflict.
2. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

In the course of our business and in providing our Services to you, we may collect Personal Information directly from you and automatically through our use of cookies and other data collection technologies. We may also collect your Personal Information from third-party sources, such as our business partners and affiliates. We will treat Personal Information collected from third-party sources in accordance with this Privacy Policy but we are not responsible for the accuracy of information provided by third parties or for their policies or practices.
The categories of Personal Information we collect from you depend on your interactions with us. For example, we may collect:

3. How We Share and Disclose Your Personal Information
We may share your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
4. Access and Choice
Account Settings: If your Personal Information changes, or if you no longer desire our Services, you may modify or remove it by logging into your Account and making the changes in your Account settings.
Marketing Opt-out Preferences: You can opt out of receiving marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link contained in the email. We may still send you emails about your relationship with us and your transactions, including Account information and alerts, purchase confirmations, and updates to our products, services and policies.
Account Deletion: Float customers may cancel and delete their Accounts at any time. Before cancelling and deleting your account, please export your data using a private internet connection that is password protected. Float is not responsible for any lost or stolen data resulting from a customer’s lack of diligence or failure to follow reasonable security protocols during or after the data export process. Please note, if you do not export your data before deleting your account, there may be no way to retrieve the data.
5. Retention and Security
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as your Account is active, as needed to provide you Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
We follow generally accepted standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, when you enter sensitive information (such as your login credentials), we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. California Privacy Statement
California residents have certain rights under the California Shine the Light law and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
CCPA Disclosures: In general, within the preceding 12 months:
CCPA Privacy Rights: As of January 1, 2020, certain California residents are entitled to privacy rights under the CCPA. Customers who wish to exercise these rights should direct their requests to the customer who controls their Personal Information.
You may exercise your right to know and your right to deletion twice a year free of charge. To exercise your right to know or your right to deletion, please contact us at privacy@floatfi.com.
We will take steps to verify your identity before processing your request to know or request to delete. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to verify you are the individual about whom we collected Personal Information. If you have an Account with us, we will use our existing Account authentication practices to verify your identity. If you do not have an Account with us, we may request additional information about you to verify your identity. We will only use the Personal Information provided in the verification process to verify your identity or authority to make a request and to track and document request responses, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.
Shine the Light: Our California customers are also entitled to request and obtain from Float once per calendar year information about any of your Personal Information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, including the categories of information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we have shared such information. To request this information please contact us at privacy@floatfi.com.
