How We Share Your Personal Information

We will not disclose, sell or otherwise distribute to any third party any of your Personal Information without your prior permission, except under the following circumstances:

At your direction: We may disclose your Personal Information when you direct us to do so.
Third-party service providers: We may outsource some or all of the operations of our business to third-party service providers and we may use third parties to act as our agents to provide services to us or to you. Services provided by third parties may include background checking, accounting, legal, recruiting, and other professional services. In such cases, it will be necessary for us to disclose your data to those service providers. In some cases, the third parties may collect data directly from you on our behalf. We restrict how such third parties may access, use and disclose your data.
Physician-Owned Clinics: We may disclose your Personal Information to our physician-owned clinics.
Legal requests and investigations and to comply with law: We may be required to disclose certain information about you to comply with government reporting requirements, laws, or regulations. We may disclose any data about you when, in our opinion, such disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or to comply with any statute, law, rule or regulation of or any legal process issued by any governmental authority or any order of any court of competent jurisdiction. We may also disclose data about you when necessary for us to exercise and defend legal claims and enforce our rights.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, employee data, including personal information relating to prospective employment and recruiting, is typically one of the transferred business assets. Any data transferred will, to the extent required by law, remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy statement unless you consent to the new privacy policy, which may be required as a condition of employment or of continuing the recruitment process, subject to applicable law in your jurisdiction.

Security of Your Personal Information

We have adopted commercially reasonable security procedures and practices designed to protect your personal information in our possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, including physical, technical, and administrative controls. However, no data transmission over the Internet, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. LaserAway cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information we collect. You provide us with your information at your own risk.

Location of Your Personal Information

LaserAway is based in the United States. By providing us with any information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States, for which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in United States jurisdictions according to the laws in those jurisdictions. Your information will also be disclosed to third parties as described in the “How We Share Your Information” section above.

Retention of Your Personal Information

The length of time we retain your Personal Information depends on the status of our relationship with you and applicable legal requirements. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as your prospective employment (and, if applicable, employment) with us lasts, and for a certain period after your employment or recruitment process with us has ended. To determine that period, we take into account our legal and regulatory obligations (such as financial reporting obligations and equal opportunity or anti-discrimination reporting obligations) and whether we may need to retain Personal Information to resolve disputes, make and defend legal claims, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes and/or enforce our agreements.

Changes to this Policy

To the extent allowed by applicable law, we reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. If we make material changes to our privacy policy, we will update the effective date and post a notice to our online website and applicant portals where this policy is displayed. We may also provide notice to you in other ways, such as through contact information you have provided, and provide you with the ability to opt-in or opt-out of the changes as required by law.
