We know that when you visit us at UPHealth.com, you depend on us to be as diligent about protecting your privacy on-line as we've always been in our more traditional interactions with you.

What kind of information does UPHealth.com collect?
We've designed our Web site to capture two types of information: automatic tracking and individualized. The first allows us to see which topics interest you most; the second helps us service your accounts.
Automatic tracking information is gathered by following your "footsteps" through UPHealth.com. When you enter our site, you can choose one of four routes to information tailored to a specific group: Member, Spouse, Professional or Provider. The route you—and other visitors—choose tells us a little something about the people who visit our site. We use aggregate numbers to compile statistics, monitor trends and track site usage. We also use the information to make sure our technology is compatible with yours. We're then better able to offer products and services that match your needs.
Individualized information can be anything you've provided to UPHealth.com that identifies you or your accounts. For example: Your name, social security number, birth date, address and names of your dependents are types of individualized information. We use this information to service your accounts. It's our policy to send and receive individualized information through encrypted channels only.
To use our secure services, "cookies" must/may be enabled. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored in your computer when you visit a Web site.

What do you do with the information you collect about me?
We will not sell, rent or license your individualized information furnished by you to UPHealth.com unless you authorize it. But we may need to use it within the UPREHS family of affiliate companies or with a third party vendor to perform administrative, technical, hosting, marketing or other functions that help us manage the site while providing service to you. Our third party vendors subscribe to the same privacy practices as UPHealth.com.
Except as noted above, we will not release individualized information to any other party unless required to do so by government authorities or legal process or as otherwise permitted by law.

What if I need to correct or remove information about me?
You can contact your employer or account representative directly. Please do not e-mail individualized information unless you do so through a secure channel. We have a policy that prohibits us from communicating individualized information through non-secure e-mail.

What if I don't want you to collect, use and distribute my information?
If you don't want UPHealth.com to collect, use and distribute information about you, there are always traditional means of communication available to you. Simply pick up the phone or send your questions, comments and specific information by regular mail.

Please remember that e-mail messages can be viewed by other Internet users while in transit. If you have individualized information to communicate, please contact your local customer service representative or e-mail us a request for your customer service representative to contact you.

What about the links on your site? Are they secure?
Because we don't own or control all the sites linked from UPHealth.com, we can't guarantee they're secure; therefore, we cannot assume responsibility for all their privacy practices. If you enroll with a company that is not affiliated with UPHealth.com or any UPREHS company, we urge you to review the privacy policies of any of the Web sites you visit once you leave UPHealth.com.

I'm not a U.S. customer. How do I fit into your privacy policies?
Your continued use of UPHealth.com from within the European Union ("EU") or other non-U.S. country means that you are giving your consent to have your individualized information processed outside the EU or other country in accordance with the protection described in this statement.

I've switched my coverage to another company. What will you do with my information?
We will continue to treat your individualized information with the same confidentiality and respect we extend to all our valuable customers.
