Notice
to European Union Users
Continuum Care’s

sent to the United States. (The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became
operational on August 1, 2016. This framework protects the fundamental rights
of anyone in the EU whose personal data is transferred to the United States for
commercial purposes. It allows the free transfer of data to companies that are

Security
Continuum Care takes
precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information
via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. credit card information), that
information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify
this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for
“https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
While we use encryption
to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your
information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we
store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure
or modification of the user’s personal information under our control.

in order to be fully compliant with GDPR regulations your company must fulfill

activities to improve security; (ii) have a data processing agreement with any
third party vendors; (iii) appoint a data protection officer for the company to

COPPA Compliance Disclosure:
This Privacy Policy
presumes that your website is not
directed at children under the age of 13 and does not
knowingly collect personal identifiable information from them or allow others
to do the same through your site. If this is not true for your website or
online service and you do collect such information (or allow others to do so),
please be aware that you must be compliant with all COPPA regulations and
guidelines in order to avoid violations which could lead to law enforcement
actions, including civil penalties.
In order to be fully
compliant with COPPA your website or online service must fulfill other
requirements such as: (i) posting a privacy policy which describes not only your practices,
but also the practices of any others collecting personal information on your
site or service — for example, plug-ins or ad networks;
(ii) include a
prominent link to your privacy policy anywhere you collect personal information
from children; (iii) include a description of parental rights (e.g. that you
won’t require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably
necessary, that they can review their child’s personal information, direct you
to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s
information, and the procedures to exercise their rights); (iv) give parents
“direct notice” of your information practices before collecting
information from their children; and (v) obtain the parents’ “verifiable
consent” before collecting, using or disclosing personal information from
a child. For more information on the definition of these terms and how to make
sure your website or online service is fully compliant with COPPA please visit https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-six-step– compliance. FormSwift

your company is in fact compliant with COPPA and takes no responsibility
for the use you make of this Privacy Policy or for any potential liability your
company may face in relation to any COPPA compliance issues.
