What this policy covers
We may also provide different or additional privacy notices in connection with certain activities, programs, and offerings, including additional “just-in-time” notices that may supplement or clarify our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices regarding your personal information. Personal information does not include publicly available information from government records, de-identified or aggregated consumer information, or information excluded from applicable laws, such as health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). If you are a patient using our Platform, the information you provide to us through the Platform may be considered protected health information (PHI) and will be protected by Navala Global as required by federal and state laws. Our processing of PHI on behalf of our healthcare providers and patients is governed by our agreements with our customers, including our Business Associate Agreement as required by HIPAA and POPIA. If you are a patient, your healthcare providers may also have their own privacy practices and policies that govern how your provider collects, uses, and shares your information. This Policy does not cover information Navala Global may collect or receive through our website, navalacare.com, or any related services or applications (the Site). For more information about the information collected or received through our Site, please see our Website Privacy Policy. This Policy does not cover the privacy practices of third parties. Our Site may include links to websites and/or applications operated and maintained by third parties. We have no control over the privacy practices of websites or applications that we do not own and cannot guarantee that such third parties will adhere to the same privacy practices as us. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties.

Directly from You
We collect personal information you provide to us, such as when you create an account, contact us, respond to a survey, or sign up to receive emails, text messages, and/or postal mailings.
Using Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
When you use certain portions of our Platform, open or click on emails we send you, or interact with our advertisements, we or third parties we work with automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies, web beacons, clear GIF, pixels, internet tags, web server logs, and other data collection tools. For more information, please see the Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies section below.
From Third Parties and Referral Partners
We obtain information from third parties that we have partnered with and other third parties we choose to collaborate or work with. For example, if you are referred to us by one of our billing company partners with whom you have a business relationship, we receive Basic Identifiers and Commercial Information from the billing company partner to contact you about the Platform.
From Social Media Platforms
If you interact with us on social media or use features, such as plugins, widgets, single sign-on, or other tools made available by social media platforms or networks (including Facebook, Twitter, Google, and LinkedIn) in connection with our Platform, we collect information that you, or the social media platform, share with us. For more information about the privacy practices of those social media platforms, please review the privacy policies and settings of the social media platforms and networks that you use.
From Other Sources
We may also obtain information about you from other sources, such as data analytics providers, marketing or advertising service providers, fraud prevention service providers, vendors that provide services on our behalf, or publicly available sources. We also create information based on our analysis of the information we have collected from you.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Certain portions of the Platform use cookies to recognize your preferences and temporarily store session information on your browser. A cookie is a small text file, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, that is placed on your computer’s hard drive by a webpage server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie. We do link the information we store in cookies to personal information you submit while on our Platform.
Navala Global uses both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. A session ID cookie will get removed automatically when you close your browser. We may use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Platform. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We may also set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once if you so choose. We have cookies on our Platform but the data is only collected in the aggregate. We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies and other tracking technologies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate. If you do not want the Platform to deploy cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to put a cookie in your browser software. You can also manually clear the cookies within your respective browser (for instructions,here for Firefox;here for Chrome; andhere for Safari). If you configure your browser to reject certain cookies, the opt-out may not function properly. If you change browsers or devices, or delete cookies, you may need to opt-out again.
Web Beacons/Gifs
Navala Global uses software technology called clear gifs or Web beacons to help us better manage content on our Platform by informing us what content is effective. These technologies are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. In some cases, we tie information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personal information; an example would be tracking emails that have been opened by recipients which allows us to measure the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
Third Party Tracking
The use of cookies by a tracking utility company is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies. Tracking utility company may use session ID cookies and/or persistent cookies. We use Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display advertising based upon your Web browsing activity also use HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5.
Behavioral Targeting/Re-Targeting
We partner with a third-party ad network to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt out of interest-based advertising across browsers and devices that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative by visiting their websites here and here, respectively. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through the settings on your device or within a mobile app, but your opt-out preferences may apply only to the browser or device you are using when you opt out. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

For example, if you request a product demo and sign up for our services, we use the information you provided in your demo request to service and maintain your account, provide customer support, and communicate with you about our services.
