CCPA Applicant Privacy Addendum Notice (“CCPA Notice”)

This CCPA Notice is an addendum to the Definitive Healthcare-Global Applicant Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) and shall apply to you only if you are a Californian resident applying for a job/position with Definitive Healthcare LLC or its subsidiaries (collectively “Definitive Healthcare” “we” or “us”).

As used in this CCPA Notice, “sell” (including any grammatically inflected forms thereof) means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, applicant information (as defined below) to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

“Selling” does not include (i) disclosing applicant information to a third party at your direction, provided the third party does not sell the applicant information except in accordance with the CCPA, (ii) where you intentionally interact with a third party, provided the third party does not also sell the applicant information, (iii) using or sharing your applicant information with a service provider as necessary to perform business purposes, provided that such service provider provides its services on Definitive Healthcare ’s behalf and provided that the service provider does not further collect, sell or use the applicant information except as necessary to perform the business purpose, or (iv) transfers of your applicant information to a third party as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of Definitive Healthcare or its group entities provided that information is used or shared consistently with the CCPA.

We do not disclose your personal information to any third party in a manner that would be considered a sale under applicable laws.

Once we receive and confirm a verifiable request from you (if you are a California resident) in the manner described in Section 6 below (“verifiable request”), we will delete your applicant information from our records, unless an exception applies or applicable law dictates otherwise.

    1. To exercise the access, data portability, deletion, and correction rights described in Section 4 of this CCPA Notice, please submit a verifiable request to us by either:
       

      (1) calling us at toll free number 1-866-679-6461; or

You may also make a verifiable request on behalf of your minor child. You may make a verifiable request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected applicant information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with applicant information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the applicant information relates to you. Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use applicant information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

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 request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your applicant information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee, considering the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested, or refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.
