Cookies are small computer files we transfer to your computer's hard drive. These small text files help us personalize content on our pages and provide programs like e-coupons. Your browser software can be set to reject or accept cookies. Instructions for resetting the browser are available in the Help section of most browsers.
Our use of cookies also allows us to collect and retain certain information about a website user, such as the type of Web browser used by our customer. Reviewing our Web server logs and our customers' use of our site helps us to, among other purposes, statistically monitor how many people are using our site and for what purpose.

An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels of the Services, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Services.
Tracking/Third-Party Advertisers
We may use third-party advertising companies to display advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services, based on information relating to your access to and use of the Services and other online services.

We may use your device's physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content. We may also use such information to understand traffic patterns in, near, and across in-home visits. We may share aggregated statistics derived from the location and other information we collect with third parties for safety and other business reasons. You may be permitted to allow or deny such collection of your device’s location, such as through the settings on your mobile device and/or, to avoid the collection of location by beacons, by disabling Bluetooth.

Please be aware that there may be fraudulent websites that illegally use Signify’s logos, and other aspects of the Signify brand. Signify is in no way associated with any fraudulent websites. These sites may circulate their presence on the internet via spam email, or through fraudulent phishing practices.

Most of the personal information we process (as described above in “What Information Do We Collect?”) is obtained from you when you access the Services , but we also obtain personal information about you in the course of the performance of your contract with us or potential contract with us, including when you are a candidate for a position at Signify.
In some circumstances, we may request your explicit consent to process (specific types of) personal information. In these circumstances, you are able to withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions provided when you gave consent or at the contact details below.
You are required to provide consent to strictly necessary cookies in order to use the Services. If you do not provide your consent you may not be able to apply for positions with us and you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Services.
No decisions will be taken about you using automated means, we will notify you in writing if this position changes.
Transfers Outside the European Economic Area
We will transfer your personal information to the United States of America and other countries outside of the EEA. When we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the privacy and integrity of such Data, including standard contractual clauses under GDPR Article 46.2 or adequacy decision under GDPR Article 45. Please see the “Contact Information” section below if you wish to obtain information concerning such safeguards.
Retention of Personal Information
We will keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected as described above and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations. This may mean that some information is held for longer than other information. The criteria we use to determine data retention periods for personal information includes the following:
- Retention in case of queries; we will retain it for a reasonable period after the relationship between us has ceased;
- Retention in case of claims; we will retain it for the period in which it may be enforced (this means we will retain it for 10 years in some instances); and
- Retention in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements; we will consider whether we need to retain it after any period described in this section because of a legal or regulatory requirement.
Your Rights
You may have various rights under data protection legislation in your country (where applicable).
Right of Access: Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled to have access to your personal information which we hold (this is more commonly known as submitting a “data subject access request”).
- How do I execute this right? Requests for such information should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com If possible, you should specify the type of information you would like to see to ensure that our disclosure is meeting your expectations.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? We must be able to verify your identity. Your request may not affect the rights and freedoms of others, e.g. privacy and confidentiality rights of other customers. Data solely retained for data backup purposes is principally excluded.
Right of Data Portability: Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled to receive the data which you have provided to us and which is processed by us by automated means, in a commonly-used machine readable format.
- How do I execute this right? Requests should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com If possible, you should specify the type of information you would like to receive to ensure that our disclosure is meeting your expectations.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? The GDPR does not establish a general right to data portability. This right only applies if the processing is based on your consent or on our contract with you and when the processing is carried out by automated means (e.g., not for paper records). It affects only personal information that was “provided” by you. Hence, it does, as a rule, not apply to personal data that was created by Signify.
Rights in Relation to Inaccurate or Incomplete Personal Information: You may challenge the accuracy or completeness of personal information which we process about you. If it is found that personal information is inaccurate, you are entitled to have the inaccurate data removed, corrected or completed, as appropriate.
- How do I execute this right? We encourage you to notify us of any changes regarding your personal information as soon as they occur, including changes to your contact details, telephone number, immigration status. Please always check first whether self-help tools are available. If no such tools are available, requests should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? This right only applies to your own personal information. When exercising this right, please be as specific as possible.
Right to Object to or Restrict our Data Processing: Subject to certain conditions, you have the right to object to or ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information.
- How do I execute this right? Requests should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? This right applies only if the processing of your personal information is explicitly based on our so-called “legitimate interests” (see “basis of processing” above). Objections must be based on grounds relating to your particular situation. They must not be generic so that we can demonstrate that there are still lawful grounds for us to process your personal information.
Right to Have Personal Information Erased: Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled, on certain grounds, to have your personal information erased (also known as the “right to be forgotten”), e.g. where you think that the information we are processing is inaccurate, or the processing is unlawful.
- How do I execute this right? Requests should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? There are various lawful reasons why we may not be in a position to erase your personal information. This may apply (i) where we have to comply with a legal obligation, (ii) in case of exercising or defending legal claims, or (iii) where retention periods apply by law or our statutes.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to any processing for which you have previously given that consent.
- How do I execute this right? Requests should be made in writing to privacy@signifyhealth.com.
- What conditions must be met to exercise this right? If you withdraw your consent, this will only take effect for the future.
Your Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
