Do Not Sell or Share My Information
Understanding This Right
Several state privacy laws, including California’s Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, give residents the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information, terms that carry specific legal definitions broader than their everyday meaning. This page explains what these terms mean in the context of Diabetic Discounts Network’s practices, what we do and don’t do with your information, and how to exercise your opt-out rights if applicable to you.
We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information
Diabetic Discounts Network does not sell your personal information in exchange for money. We have never sold, and do not intend to sell, patient data to third parties as a revenue source.
What “Sharing” Means Under State Privacy Law
Under certain state privacy laws, “sharing” is defined more broadly than a traditional sale, and can include certain disclosures of personal information to third parties for purposes like cross-context behavioral advertising, even where no money changes hands. This page addresses both concepts together, since the practical question for most patients is the same: can you limit how your information moves beyond what’s strictly necessary to verify your coverage and fulfill your request.
What We Actually Do With Your Information
To be transparent about our actual practices, here’s how your information moves through our process:
- Insurance verification. We share information with your insurance carrier, Medicare, or Medicaid as necessary to verify your coverage. This is a core part of the service you’ve requested and is not considered a sale or sharing subject to opt-out under applicable law, since it’s necessary to provide the service itself.
- Provider coordination. We share information with your treating physician’s office to obtain necessary prescriptions and documentation. Like insurance verification, this is a necessary part of fulfilling your request rather than a discretionary disclosure.
- Vendor fulfillment. We share the information necessary for a licensed, CMS-enrolled vendor to fulfill your order. This is likewise necessary to provide the service you’ve requested.
- Website analytics and advertising technologies. Our website may use certain tracking technologies, such as cookies or similar tools, that could fall within some state definitions of “sharing,” particularly where such tools support advertising measurement or audience analysis. If you’d like to opt out of this category specifically, follow the instructions below.
How to Opt Out
If you would like to opt out of any data sharing that could fall within your state’s legal definition of a sale or sharing, you can do so in the following ways:
- Adjust your cookie preferences. Where available, use our website’s cookie preference tool to limit or disable certain tracking technologies used for advertising or analytics purposes.
- Submit a direct request. Contact us using the information at the bottom of this page, and specify that you’d like to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We will process your request consistent with applicable state law.
- Use a recognized opt-out preference signal. If you use a browser or tool that sends a recognized universal opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will honor that signal for applicable browsing activity on our website, consistent with legal requirements in your state.
What Opting Out Does Not Affect
Opting out of the sale or sharing of your personal information does not affect our ability to verify your insurance coverage, coordinate with your treating physician, or fulfill your supply request through a licensed vendor, since these activities are necessary to provide the service you’ve asked for rather than discretionary sharing subject to opt-out.
Verifying Your Request
To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing an opt-out request, particularly if the request is submitted through a method other than a device or account already associated with you. We will only request the minimum information necessary to verify your identity for this purpose.
Authorized Agents
If you’d like an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request on your behalf, we may require documentation confirming that the agent has been authorized to act for you, consistent with applicable state law requirements.
Minors
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age in a manner requiring opt-in consent under applicable law, and any processing of a minor’s information is limited to what is necessary to provide our services to that individual or their authorized parent or guardian.
State-Specific Variation
Privacy rights, including the specific right to opt out of sale or sharing, vary by state, and not every jurisdiction provides identical protections. We apply the practices described on this page consistent with applicable law in your state of residence, and if you have questions about your specific state’s protections, contact us directly for clarification.
How Long an Opt-Out Request Takes Effect
We aim to process opt-out requests within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within a matter of days, though certain technical implementations, such as updates across all connected systems, may take somewhat longer to fully propagate.
