Data Security and Retention
We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing data is completely secure.We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you with our Services. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.
We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you with our Services. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally. See "Account Deletion and Data Retention" below for how this applies to information shared with another user of the Services.
Account Deletion and Data Retention
Account Deletion
You may delete your account at any time from within the app. Deleting your account permanently removes your login credentials and terminates your access to the Service. This action cannot be undone. If you wish to use the Service again, you will need to create a new account.
Deleting your account does not delete the records associated with your use of the Service. As described below, most information in the Service is shared between a family and the professional working with them, and remains available to the other party after your account is deleted.
Data Retention Following Account Deletion
The Service is built around collaboration between families and the professionals who support them. Information created in the Service — including logs, chat messages, documents, notes, care plans, shifts, contracts, invoices, and related records — reflects the professional service relationship and is retained as a business record of the professional involved.
When a family member deletes their account, this information remains available to their professional. When a professional deletes their account, information reasonably necessary for the family's ongoing care may remain available to them, and records we are required to retain for legal, tax, or accounting purposes will be retained by us.
Deleting your account removes your access to this information. We recommend downloading or saving anything you wish to keep before deleting your account.
Messages Between Parties
Chat messages are a shared record between the participants in a conversation. Each participant retains access to their own copy of the conversation history. Deleting your account, or ending a connection with another user, does not delete the other party's copy of messages already exchanged.
Requests to Remove Specific Information
If you wish to have particular information removed rather than deleting your account, contact the professional or family you are connected with directly, as they control the records created in the course of their service relationship. Where required under the CCPA or other applicable law, we will process deletion requests submitted directly to us as described in the "California Resident Rights" section above.
Ending a Connection
A professional may remove a family from their client list at any time. Doing so ends the connection and the professional's access to that family's ongoing activity, but does not delete records the professional created or relied upon. A family may end a connection with their professional; to begin working with a different professional, the new professional must invite them, at which point the family's existing account will be deleted and a new account created under the new professional.
Personal Data of Children
Our Services are intended for use by adults and are not intended for use by people under 13 years of age. This section addresses the account holder — that is, the adult user of the Services. The child whose sleep or health-related information may be collected through the Services in connection with an account is not the account holder or user of the Services, and this section does not apply to that child's data.We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from children under 13 years of age in connection with their own use of the Services; if you are a child under the age of 13, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services or send us any Personal Data. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13 years of age in connection with their own account registration, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 years of age may have registered for or otherwise used the Services directly, please contact us at hello@rested.family
California Resident Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the rights set forth in this section. Please note that we may process Personal Data of our customers' end users in connection with our provision of certain services to our customers. If we are processing your Personal Data as a service provider, you should contact the entity that collected your Personal Data in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data. If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy and you are a California resident, the portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section, please contact us at hello@rested.familyAccess.
You have the right to request certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Data over the past 12 months, including the categories of Personal Data collected, the categories of sources, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Data, the categories of third parties with whom we've shared it, and the specific pieces of Personal Data we've collected about you.
Deletion.
You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Data that we have collected about you. Under the CCPA, this right is subject to certain exceptions — for example, we may need to retain your Personal Data to provide you with the Services or complete a transaction you have requested. If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request. See "Account Deletion and Data Retention" below for how these exceptions apply to records shared with another user of the Services.
Exercising Your Rights.
To exercise the rights described above, you or your Authorized Agent must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Data, including your name and email address, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it (a "Valid Request"). We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.We will work to respond to your Valid Request within 45 days of receipt. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded, in which case we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.You may submit a Valid Request by emailing hello@rested.family
You may also authorize an agent ("Authorized Agent") to exercise your rights on your behalf. You must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to do so, and we may request a copy of this written permission when they make a request on your behalf.
Personal Data Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In
In this section, we use the term "sell" as it is defined in the CCPA. We have not sold your Personal Data to date. As described in the "Tracking Tools and Opt-Out" section above, we have incorporated Cookies from certain third parties into our Services, and under the CCPA, sharing data through third-party Cookies for online advertising may be considered a "sale" of information. We reserve the right to sell Personal Data in the future — for example, in connection with a sale of our business or to a party developing or training artificial intelligence or machine learning technologies — subject to your right to opt out of such sales.
Over the past 12 months, we have sold none of your Personal Data.
You have the right to opt out of any future sale of your Personal Data by emailing hello@rested.family. Once you have submitted an opt-out request, we will not ask you to reauthorize the sale of your Personal Data for at least 12 months. To our knowledge, we do not sell the Personal Data of minors under 16 years of age.
We Will Not Discriminate Against You for Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA
We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. However, we may offer different tiers of our Services as allowed by applicable data privacy laws with varying prices, rates or levels of quality related to the value of Personal Data that we receive from you.
Other State Law Privacy Rights

Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Data as sales are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.
