“SALES” AND “SHARING” OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS
Certain of Kyber Health Data LLC’s data products include limited personal information related to professional activities of health care providers who reside in California and, as a result, our provision of such data products to our customers may constitute a “sale” under the California Requirements. On this basis, in the preceding 12 months, we have “sold” and, subject to each such health care provider’s opt-out right described below, may in the future “sell” the following categories of personal information to customers of those Kyber data products: identifiers; personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute; commercial information; and professional or employment-related information. Kyber Health Data LLC’s customers are not permitted by contract to use our products to market products and services to you. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
We do not, and have not in the preceding 12 months, “shared” personal information about you with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Certain of Kyber Health Data LLC’s data products include, and we have collected in the preceding 12 months, information that is deidentified as follows:
- Deidentified patient information, deidentified pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) expert determination method.
- Information about professional activities of healthcare providers, deidentified according to the California Requirements.
With respect to information that is “deidentified” according to the California Requirements, we maintain and use such information in deidentified form and do not attempt to reidentify the information, except for the purpose of determining whether the deidentification processes satisfy the California Requirements.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it (as described above), including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances, we may anonymize or deidentify your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may retain and use such data without further notice to you to the extent permitted by law.
