Privacy Policy

Notice For California Residents

This section applies only to “Consumers,” which means a natural person who is a California resident as defined by section 17014 of Title 18 of the California Code of Regulations. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) grant California residents certain additional privacy rights. CCPA & CPRA do not encompass “protected health information” that is governed by HIPAA or “medical information” that is governed by the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. Accordingly, our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices generally will govern HIPAA-protected health information. This section, in contrast, will cover Personal Information about California residents who visit our Sites but are not identifiable as patients, and information on California residents that Aveanna collects or receives but is not subject to HIPAA or the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. This section applies to information that Aveanna collects from Consumers through Sites, third parties, and information it receives offline, including hard copy information. This policy does not apply to Aveanna job applicants, contractors, employees, owners, directors, or officers, where the Personal Information relates to their current, former, or potential role at Aveanna. California job applicants, contract workers, and employees may review Aveanna’s CCPA Notice for Job Applicants, Contractors, and Employees Residing in California for more information. You can click on the following notices for more information: Aveanna’s California Employee of Record Care Providers and Aveanna’s California Client/Worksite Employers.

How Consumers Can Exercise CCPA and CPRA Rights

Consumers wanting to exercise their rights must submit a verifiable Consumer request. To submit a verifiable Consumer request, you can:

• Send a written request to Privacy Officer, Aveanna Healthcare, 400 Interstate North Parkway SE, Suite 1600, Atlanta, Georgia 30339
• Send an electronic request: Consumer Privacy Request
• Submit a verbal request by calling 1-800-408-4442

Before completing a request, Aveanna must verify that the person making the request is the Consumer about whom Aveanna has Personal Information. Consumers may use an Authorized Agent to submit a verifiable request on the Consumer’s behalf if the Consumer provides the Authorized Agent written permission signed by the Consumer. Aveanna can deny a request from an individual or entity claiming to be an authorized agent that does not provide proof that they have been authorized by the Consumer to act on the Consumer’s behalf. An Authorized Agent is a natural person, or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California that a Consumer has authorized to act on their behalf subject to the requirements set forth in section 999.2326 of the California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations.

Upon receiving a request to exercise rights under CCPA/CPRA, Aveanna will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days. Aveanna will respond to requests within 45 calendar days of receipt of a request. If necessary, Aveanna may take up to an additional 45 days to respond to a request, for a maximum total of 90 calendar days from the day the request is received. If Aveanna needs additional time to respond to a request, we will provide the requestor notice and explain why the additional time is needed. Aveanna may request a Consumer to provide additional information for verification purposes. If Aveanna cannot verify a requestor’s identity, we may deny your request. Aveanna will provide notice to the requestor if we cannot verify the requestor’s identity and comply with the request.

Household requests – Aveanna currently does not collect household data. If any members of a household initiate a request, we will respond as if the request is an individual request.
