Your Data
You are required to provide certain information in order to use the helpful services
on HealthInsurance.com. Some of this information
is general information on your company (such
as the name of your company, a contact person,
address, phone number,
and e-mail address), which is referred to as "Registration Data".
As part of the application process, we may contact
you and your employees to assist your company in completing your insurance application, and alert
you to additional benefits that you can provide to your
employees through HealthInsurance.com.
We also may send you and your employees customer satisfaction surveys so that we can receive
feedback on how
we can improve our services. If you would
not like us to contact you in this manner, you can
notify us using the contact information below. In addition, we may notify you and your employees of additional products and services that
might be of interest to you from HealthInsurance.com
or our business partners. When utilizing
our site, you and your employees will each be given
the option
during the registration process, and may contact us via e-mail or U.S. mail, whether you would like to receive
these promotional offers. In any circumstance, HealthInsuance.com will never rent, sell, trade, or barter
your Registration Data
to any third
party.
In addition to Registration Data, you and your employees will need to provide additional information
to complete an application for insurance
("Application Data"). Any health-related
Application Data will only be used for processing
your specific request for health insurance coverage, whether provided on our website, via fax,
or via mail. All health-related Application
Data will only be provided to our service partners (e.g., insurance carriers) who need the information in
processing your
application for health insurance.
We may use Application Data that does not contain any health or health-related
information when the use of such data is
required to fulfill your specific requests
for additional products and services. In such cases we may share this information
with
service providers required to fulfill these requests.
In certain instances, HealthInsurance.com may reveal
general, aggregated data about our Web site
(e.g., how many users we have in a particular geographic area). Such data will not contain any
personally identifiable
information.
You also have the option of reviewing your information and correcting any information. Such requests can
be made via e-mail or U.S. mail using the contact information below.
Security
HealthInsurance.com securely collects and
transfers your information using
encryption technology. We retain these records
to make our services easier and more personalized
each time you visit the site. We employ Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
for all of your information entered on the site. SSL encrypts your information as it travels from your browser
to our servers, and from our server back to your browser. Your browser must support SSL in order to fully
access our site.
Please note that
e-mail communications are not secure and should not include any sensitive information, including any health
information or your login ID or password.
In addition, we maintain security measures at our physical
offices to ensure that only our staff that
are assisting you in the application process
have access to your information.
In each user session, HealthInsurance.com may use "cookie" technology
to reduce the time required for you to submit
your requests. These cookies are small bits of code, which enable a Web site to "personalize" itself
