Healthmine Privacy Policy

Purpose

Your privacy is very important to us at Healthmine. We created this Privacy Policy to let you know how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your personal information, as well as your rights in determining what we do with the information that we collect or hold about you when you access the Healthmine websites (collectively, the “Site”) or the features, content, or applications offered by Healthmine (collectively, the “Service”).

The purpose of this document is to detail the Healthmine Privacy Policy.

Policy

This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Healthmine Terms of Use. The terms “Healthmine,” “we,” and “us” include Healthmine, Inc., and our affiliates and subsidiaries. This Privacy Policy explains how Healthmine may: collect, use, and disclose information we obtain through the “Service.” By using the Service or providing your information to us or to our affiliates, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Healthmine Terms of Use.

As part of providing the Service, Healthmine transmits, processes, and maintains data for health plans and health plan sponsors that use this Service. Such information will be held subject to the requirements specified by them and in accordance with our contracts with them and applicable law. This Privacy Policy does not reflect the privacy practices of the health plans and health plan sponsors, and we are not responsible for their privacy policies or practices. Healthmine does not review, comment upon, or monitor health plans’ or health plan sponsors’ privacy policies or their compliance with their respective privacy policies, nor do we review health plans’ or health plan sponsors’ instructions with respect to our processing of information to determine whether such instructions are in compliance or conflict with the terms of their published privacy policies.

“Personal Information” Can Be Used to Readily Identify, Contact, or Locate You

“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. Personal Information also includes associated health-related information. Personal Information does not include information that has been anonymized so that a third party cannot easily identify a specific individual.

The Service Collects Your Information

We collect Personal Information:

  • when you register to use the Service;
  • from employers and health plans;
  • when you use the Service;
  • from your device, such as location information; and
  • when you communicate with us.

We also collect information, such as anonymous usage statistics, by using cookies, server logs, and other similar technology as you use the Service.

Some Examples of the Types of Personal Information We May Collect Are:

Registration & Account Information. You must have an account to use the Service. To create an account, you may need to provide Personal Information, such as your name, date of birth, group number, member number, email address, and a password. You may also provide other optional information, such as your address, so we can send you rewards.

Your Use of the Service. We collect information you provide through the Service. For example, when you submit information in a health risk assessment or community forums or otherwise interact with other users, the Service will collect the information you provide in such submissions, including any Personal Information.

From Employers & Health Plans. Health plans and health plan sponsors may provide information, including Personal Information, to the Service about their members and personnel. When providing the Service, we maintain Personal Information collected or provided by health plans and health plan sponsors using the Service according to their instructions. It is the health plans’ and health plan sponsors’ responsibility to ensure that the information they submit to the Service is collected and used in compliance with applicable law, including, for example, by providing the appropriate level of notice to individuals.

Making Payments. When you make payments through the Service, you may need to provide financial account information, such as your credit card number, to our third-party service providers. We do not collect or store such information, though we may receive summary information about a transaction that does not include credit card or bank account numbers.

Location Information from Your Mobile Device. We may collect and store your precise location information if your device settings are enabled to send it to us. Collection of this information may improve the provision of the Service.

Like many other online services, the Service collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you use it, including your preferences and anonymous usage statistics. When we associate such information with Personal Information, we will treat the combination as Personal Information.

When you use the Service, we and our third-party partners, such as analytics providers, use “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about how the Service is used. Our partners also may collect information about your online activities over time and on other websites or apps. When they provide such services, they are governed by their own privacy policies. You may be able to change browser settings to block and delete cookies when you access the Service through a web browser. However, if you do that, the Service may not work properly.

We may provide our services to employers and health plans subject to HIPAA, and when we process “protected health information” as defined by HIPAA on behalf of them, we are acting as a “business associate” to them as regulated by HIPAA. Therefore, we must adopt and maintain appropriate physical, technical, administrative, and organizational procedures to safeguard and secure the protected health information we process. We also may not access, use, or disclose the protected health information except as permitted by health plans and health plan sponsors, you, and/or applicable law. We strive to protect the privacy of the Personal Information the Service processes and to avoid inadvertent disclosure.
