We understand how important it is to keep your personal information private and secure. We take your privacy very seriously. The Health Plan wants you to know what we do with any information about you that we collect from our website.
The Health Plan collects the Internet domain name and IP address of the computer you use to visit healthplan.org. We also obtain the type and version of the web browser you use, along with the date and time of each visit to each webpage you access. This is typically the same amount of information that most websites collect from your computer. The Health Plan collects this information for the purposes of running summary reports for analyzing website traffic and bandwidth load analysis. For the casual visitor, no personally identifiable medical information is collected.
If you fill out any online forms on our website to request services such as a change of address, requesting ID cards, changing your primary care physician, or sending us comments, this personally identifiable information will be kept confidential and will not be shared, given, or sold to any third parties unless those third parties are business partners of The Health Plan, whose services are required to provide service to you. This information you provide to us online will only be used to respond to any request for services and will be stored on secure computer systems that have technical and physical safeguards in place to protect your information.
By providing us with your email address in an online form, you are indicating that you wish to be contacted by us via return email. If you do not wish to be contacted by email, please indicate you would prefer a phone call or postal mail.
