General Notice
This Privacy Notice for California Residents (this “Notice”) is provided by Expert MRI, P.C., a California professional corporation (collectively, “Expert”, “we”, “our” and similar pronouns). Please note the following:
- California’s “Shine the Light Law,” California Civil Code Section 1798.83, permits individual California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of certain categories of Personal Information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at dataprivacy@expertmri.com. This request may be made no more than twice per calendar year. We reserve the right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the email address above, or to the mailing addresses specified at the end of this notice.
- We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2023 (CPRA), and any terms defined in the CCPA or CPRA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.
- This Notice supplements the information contained in the above Privacy Policy.
- This Notice applies solely to California residents who visit or use the Expert website, apply for employment, contractor or similar opportunities with us or who otherwise provide personal information to us (such California residents, “consumers” or “you”). Please note that the CCPA provides certain exceptions with respect to the Personal Information of California employees, job applicants, owners, directors, vendors, suppliers and contractors. If you are a Expert California employee, job applicant, partner or independent contractor or a vendor or supplier of Expert, you may not have any or all of the privacy rights listed below in connection with Personal Information we have about you in the context of that relationship with you.

Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights, which are subject to our records retention policies and applicable law.
Where noted, these rights do not apply to (i) personal information collected about employees, job applicants, contractors or similar individuals and used only within the context of such a relationship (“employment-related personal information”) or (ii) personal information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication (“B2B personal information”).
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that we disclose the following information to you with respect to the preceding 12 months:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with which we share your personal information.
- The categories of your personal information which we disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of third parties to which we shared such personal information.
- The categories of your personal information we have “sold” and the categories of third parties to which we sold such personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a “data portability” request).
These access and data portability rights do not apply to employment-related personal information or B2B personal information, for so long as an exception under the CCPA applies to such information.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete the personal information (other than employment-related personal information or B2B personal information) we collected about you, subject to certain exceptions provided by the CCPA. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete the requested personal information from our records, unless an exception provided by the CCPA applies. For example, we may retain personal information as required or permitted by law, and may maintain a copy of your deletion request.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. Please describe your request with sufficient detail for us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
