Last Revised: October 1, 2024

Clearwater Benefits Administrators LLC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Clearwater,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) are responsible for this website www.clearwaterhealth.com (the “Website”). We are committed to respecting the privacy of our Website visitors.

This Privacy Policy describes our practices related to personal information collected through the Website. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using any component of our Website or any part of the Services (defined below), you agree to all terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and the changes thereto. If you do not agree, do not use, or access the Services.

If you do choose to visit our Website, you can learn more about who we are, what we do, and career opportunities we have (the “Services”).

To make starting your career path easier, from our Website, you can look at available opportunities as our Website allows you to access job opportunities by working with Greenhouse, which allows you to apply to open positions with Clearwater directly through that third-party website. For information about how the greenhouse collects, uses, and shares your information, please review Greenhouse’s Privacy Policy. As such, Clearwater’s online job application and recruiting systems are used for recruiting, to allow individuals to apply for employment with Clearwater, and to ensure that Clearwater complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in receiving employment applications. These systems are intended for visitors to review, and possibly apply for, Clearwater employment opportunities. Do not use Clearwater’s online job application and recruiting systems for any other purpose. Posted positions are only available to be performed within the United States. Clearwater only accepts applications from individuals who are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, do not provide Clearwater with your personal information for purposes of applying for a job unless you are directed otherwise.

Information collected directly from you: A visitor to our Website may be asked to provide personal information to receive a response from Clearwater. The personal information that you may be requested to provide includes your name, email address and any information that you choose to provide. The collection of information will be transparent to you—you will be asked for it and will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to provide it. If you choose not to provide any of the personal information requested, Clearwater may be unable to complete the transaction you have requested.

Information you provide when applying for a job: To review postings on Clearwater’s job online application systems, communicate with Clearwater about job openings, and apply for a job with Clearwater, you will be asked to provide your personal information. With variation in certain countries, where some of these data elements may not be requested or may be requested once your employment is confirmed or starts, the personal information that you may be asked to provide includes:

For certain jobs and in certain locations, you may be asked to have a medical examination, hearing or vision checks, drug testing, a background check, or a criminal history check. These will only be performed with your consent, but in certain circumstances, your offer of employment may be contingent on your successful completion of one or more of these checks.

Clearwater does not perform criminal history checks where prohibited from doing so by law. Clearwater may confirm the information provided in your application, such as your references, driving license and record, education and job history, without seeking your additional consent.

For all applicant / employee data, Clearwater is required to retain your application information for a minimum of three years. That period of time may be extended where required by law, policy, administrative or judicial activity and audit obligations. If you apply for a job in the US but you reside outside the US, please be aware that this retention requirement applies to you as well and we will be unable to grant deletion requests for US job applications within this retention period. Otherwise, Clearwater will retain your information as follows:

  • Profile information: For information that you enter as part of your profile in the Clearwater online job applicant tools, we retain that information for three years from last activity. If you want to maintain your account, be sure to update it periodically.
  • Unsuccessful applications: For unsuccessful candidates, Clearwater will retain your application information for a period of time as defined by applicable, local law. If there is no applicable local law, Clearwater retains personal information for a reasonable period of time.
  • Successful applications: For successful candidates, Clearwater retains your information so that it is able to employ you. The information from your application is used for employment purposes and handled according to internal employment policies.

In all instances, retention requirements and purging of personal information may be impacted by law or regulation, court, administrative or arbitration proceeding, or an audit requirement.

What Are Your Rights Regarding Your Information It Collects?

It is Clearwater’s position that it does not collect any personal information about you when you use the Website. To the extent it does or that an applicable court or supervisory authority determines that it does, you may have the following data subject rights:

Residents of California and Colorado:

California Shine the Light Law: California residents may annually request and obtain information that is shared with other businesses for their own direct marketing use within the prior calendar year. Clearwater does not share your personal information with other businesses for their own direct marketing use.

California Consumer Privacy Act: California residents have the right to:

  • request details about the personal information that we have about you, including the categories of information, the purpose for which we use it, with whom we share it, and specific information about what personal information we have about you;
  • request that your data be deleted;
  • correct your data; and
  • direct Clearwater not to sell or share your data, but, since Clearwater does not sell or share personal information, this does not apply.

If you are a California resident not covered by the exclusions mentioned above and you would like to exercise your rights, you should contact Clearwater by emailing us at jobs@cleatrwatersavings.com. Please provide your name, a way for Clearwater to contact you (such as an email address or telephone number) so that we can respond to your request, information about the nature of your relationship with us (for example, are you a visitor to our website or a shareowner), and details about the action that you would like us to take. Based on your request, we will investigate to determine if we have any of your personal information. If we do have your personal information (other than that provided in your request), we will seek to verify your identity based on the personal information that we already have; the data we will request will depend on the nature of the personal information we have about you. Once we verify your identity, we will provide you with a response, indicating how we will satisfy your request or why we cannot comply with your request.

For all requests, we will provide a response within 45 days, and let you know if longer is needed. If we do not take any action on the request, we will let you know why, and it is usually because we cannot verify your identity or we have verified your identity but identified that you are not and have not been a California or Colorado resident in the relevant time period.

For Colorado residents, you can appeal this decision/non-action. You may also contact the Colorado Attorney General if you have concerns about the result of the appeal.
