California Applicant Privacy Notice
Updated April 10, 2025
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2024
eHealthInsurance Services, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Company” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of Personal Data (i.e., information reasonably related to a specific individual). This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes how we process Personal Data of California residents who apply for a job with the Company. If you interact with our website, purchase our products or services, or otherwise engage with us outside of the job application context, the privacy notice provided in connection with that interaction applies instead, not this Notice. Whenever you interact with us on behalf of another individual or entity, such as if you provide us with names of other individuals as references in your job application, you must obtain their consent (or have the legal authority without consent) to share their Personal Data with us. Changes: We may update this Notice from time to time. Any updated Notice will be effective when posted. Please check this Notice periodically for updates. This Notice does not form part of any contract of employment or other contract to provide services and does not give you any contractual rights.
1. Sources of Personal Data
We collect Personal Data about you from the following sources:

We may collect Personal Data you provide to us directly, such as when you complete a paper or online application (including on a dedicated online talent management platform), communicate with us in connection with your application, provide references, or participate in an interview or any aptitude test or assessment (including online). We may also collect your Personal Data when you decide to complete questionnaires, such as a satisfaction survey or a diversity and inclusion questionnaire.
- Data collected automatically. We may automatically collect information or inferences from or about you or your device.
- From third parties. We may collect Personal Data from third parties, such as companies or individuals who direct or refer you to us (including third-party staffing or recruiting firms), as well as from publicly available sources and third-party professional social networking websites. Where permitted or otherwise authorized by law, we may also collect information received from third parties in connection with background checks.

We may also collect and process information about you generated during or after interviews and related activities, such as tests or satisfaction surveys. This information may come directly from you or from our employees or contractors.
