To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and Other Tracking As mentioned above, we might use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site and Apps. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you.
Do-Not-Track. Currently, our Site and Services do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies or opting out of ad networks).
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. We might use cookies to uniquely identify you, in order to help us to process your transactions and requests, to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, and to display advertising both on our Site and on third-party sites. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you disable cookies some features of our Site may not function.
Clear GIFs. Clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, though, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages, not stored on your hard drive. We might use clear GIFs to track the activities of Site visitors and Apps users, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We and our third-party service providers also might use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Third-Party Analytics. We also use automated devices and applications to evaluate usage of our Site, Apps, and Services. We use these tools to gather non-personal information about users to help us improve our services, performance and user experiences. We do not share your name or contact information with these third parties. However, these analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information that they collect about you on our Sites with other information that they have collected. This Policy does not cover such third parties’ use of the data.
Third-Party Ad Networks We may use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Sites, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third party websites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Site as well as other websites. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements by displaying ads for products and services in which you might be interested. Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about your usage of our Site and our services, as well as aggregate or non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Site and users of our service.
You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt-out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Site or other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI’s and DAA’s websites accessible by the above links.
User Generated Content We invite you to post content on our Apps and Sites, including your comments, pictures, and any other information that you would like to be available on our Site. If you post content to our Site, all of the information that you post will be available to all users on our Services. If you post your own content on our Site or Services, your posting may become public and Level Ex cannot prevent such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.
Third-Party Links Our Site and Services may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
Access to My Personal Information You may access, correct, erase, withdraw, or modify personal information that you have submitted by logging into your account and updating your profile information. Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified or deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Site or Apps for a period of time.
What Choices Do I Have Regarding Use of My Personal Information? You have the rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, withdraw, objection, and data portability of your personal information. For example, we may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you emails about your account or any Services you have requested or received from us. You also have the right to withdraw consent for us to use your personal information. To withdraw your consent or erase your personal information, please go to your personal profile, to confirm the withdrawal or erasure.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Children Under 13 Our Services are not designed for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems.

European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Level Ex may at times be subject to GDPR, which is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, as a controller or processor, of personal data as described below:
In compliance with GDPR, Level Ex has implemented data security processes set forth below to ensure the following are properly identified and processed:
Data Subject: A person who can be identified directly or indirectly by means of an identifier. For example, an identifier can be a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, a user name, or a web cookie.
Personal Data: Any personal information, including sensitive personal information, relating to a Data Subject. For example, email address, occupation, graduation year, and ZIP Code (for healthcare providers).
Controller: A natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. For example, a controller can be an organization that works with Level Ex and determines the processing of personal data provided to Level Ex. Level Ex is a controller for its third-party partners when Level Ex determines the processing of personal data provided to the third-party.
Processor: A natural or legal person, agency or any other body which processes Personal Data on behalf of the Controller. For example, a developer, a tester, or an analyst. A Processor can also be a cloud service provider or an outsourcing company.
Recipient: A natural or legal person, agency or any other body to whom the personal data is disclosed. For example, an individual, attorney, an insurance agent, or an agency.
Enterprise: Any natural or legal person engaged in an economic activity. This essentially includes all organizations whether in the public or private sector, whether in the EU or outside of the EU.
Third party: Any natural or legal person, agency or any other body other than the Data Subject, the Controller, the Processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the Controller or the Processor, are authorized to process the data. For example, partners or subcontractors.
Supervisory Authority: An independent public authority established by an EU member state (known as the National Data Protection Authority under the current EU Data Protection Directive), or auditing agency. Key GDPR Data Security Requirements: Level Ex’s key GDPR data security requirements can be broadly classified into three categories:
The GDPR also requires compliance with the data protection principles to enhance the quality and rigor of protection of the data. This section summarizes key data security requirements discussed in the GDPR and adopted by Level Ex.
Specifically, we have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. More on these security measures, limitations, and procedures is described below.
Assess Security Risks: Data protection impact assessments lay a foundation for preventing breaches by evaluating the gaps and risks. The GDPR mandates that Controllers perform Data Protection Impact Assessments when certain types of processing of Personal Data are likely to present a “high risk” to the data subject. Level Ex’s assessment includes a systematic and extensive evaluation of processes, profiles, and how these tools safeguard the Personal Data, and when applicable a data processing agreement with Controllers and Processors.
Prevent Attacks: At various places in the regulation, the GDPR reiterates the importance of preventing security breaches. The GDPR recommends several techniques to prevent an attack from succeeding:
The GDPR provides that in the event of a data breach, the Controller does “not” need to notify data subjects if data is encrypted and rendered unintelligible to any person accessing it.
Monitor to Detect Breaches: While preventive security measures help Level Ex minimize the risk of attack, they cannot eliminate the possibility that a data breach may occur. Thereby Level Ex monitors and alerts to detect such breaches through recording or auditing of the activities on the Personal Data and maintaining it so that processors and third parties must not be able to tamper or destroy the audit records. In the case of a Personal Data breach, Level Ex shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the supervisory authority of any Personal Data breach.
The three broad categories of security guidelines (assessment, prevention, and detection) help Level Ex address threats from multiple angles and secure the data from unauthorized access.
In addition, Level Ex mandates making data protection a core part of the system. Considering security during the initial design phase of our features in the technology life cycle increases the security worthiness of Level Ex’s system and ensures that technical security controls will perform as expected. As part of this, Level Ex has implemented centralized administration when dealing with security of multiple applications and systems as they help take immediate actions in case of a breach. Centralized controls also enforce uniformity across multiple targets, reduce the chances of errors on individual targets, and leverage the best practices across the enterprise. Since threats and attacks can come from multiple sources Level Ex, works to be prepared from all directions, and mandates protection of Personal Data in all stages of the data lifecycle such as data at-rest and in-transit.
Transfer of EU data subjects personal data to third parties outside the EU: Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of EU data subjects’ personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer an EU data subject’s personal data to external third parties based outside of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
