Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that MGA disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once MGA receives and confirms your verifiable Consumer request, MGA will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information MGA collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information MGA collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom MGA shares that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information MGA collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  • If MGA sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
    • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that MGA delete any of your personal information that MGA collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once MGA receives and confirms your verifiable Consumer request, MGA will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

MGA may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for MGA or our service providers to:

  • Complete the transaction for which MGA collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise their free speech rights, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with Consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable Consumer request to MGA by:

MGA Homecare

Attention: Privacy Officer
7025 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 200
Scottsdale, AZ 85253

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable Consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable Consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable Consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows MGA to reasonably verify you are the person about whom MGA collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows MGA to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

MGA cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if MGA cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. MGA will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format
MGA endeavors to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If MGA requires more time (up to 90 days), MGA will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. MGA will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures MGA provides will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable Consumer request’s receipt. The response MGA provides will also explain the reasons MGA cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, MGA will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

MGA does not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If MGA determines that the request warrants a fee, MGA will tell you why MGA made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

MGA will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
