Medicare Internet Privacy Policy Statement |
The privacy of Medicare beneficiaries is important to
us. We understand that visitors to the Medicare Arizona Web
site need to be in control of their personal information. Therefore,
we have developed and adhere to the following Internet Privacy
Policy:
- You do not have to give us personal information to visit
this site. If you choose not to provide personal information,
you can still visit our pages.
- We may collect personally identifiable information (name,
e-mail address, physical address, and other unique identifier)
only if you specifically and knowingly provide it to us.
- We will not use any personally identifying information
even if you choose to provide it to us except in connection
with Medicare Arizona, or for the purposes we describe
at the point of collection.
- Information we collect is for statistical purposes only.
We perform analyses of user behavior to measure customer
interest in the various areas of our Web site. We use "cookies" (a
code generated and stored in a special file in your computer)
to identify your computer. The "cookie" does not extract
personal information about you.
- We use "cookies" so that you do not have to re-enter
information you already provided to us each time you revisit
special sections of our site. You have the ability to turn "cookies" on
or off at your computer, or to have your browser tell you
when a "cookie" is being sent. You can choose to accept
or deny the "cookie" if you have this feature enabled on
your browser. For more information on "cookies", consult
the help section of your browser.
- We will protect any personal information you share with
us. We do not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal
information to third parties. If we share demographic information
with third parties, we will give them aggregate information
only.
- We will make every attempt to protect the personal information
that you share with us. However, electronic mail (e-mail)
is not secure against interception. If your communication
is very sensitive, you may want to send it by postal mail
instead.
- Our site contains links to other Web sites not controlled
by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. The information you
provide us does not transfer to those Web sites. We do
not assume responsibility for the privacy practices or
the content of those sites. We encourage you to review
the privacy policies of those sites.
- We would like to receive your comments and questions
about this Internet Privacy Policy. Visit our Contact Us
[link] page to address your comments or questions to us
regarding our Internet Privacy Policy.
- This Web privacy statement is effective as of January
1, 2000. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona reserves the
right to change the Web privacy statement from time to
time. This privacy policy is not intended to and does not
imply any contractual or other legal rights in respect
to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona or any other party.
- We may occasionally update this policy. Notice of revisions
will be posted here.
Once again, we will not obtain personally-identifying information
about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide
such information. |
