McKesson Health Solutions LLC Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
We understand the importance of your
privacy and respect the confidential nature of your medical information.
For that reason, we have made every effort to ensure that your use of
our site is secure and private. The following material will help you
understand what kind of information we collect from you, how it is used,
how it is protected, and what choices you have with regard to your
personal information. Please check this Privacy Policy often, as it
may be updated without notice.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
The kind of information we
collect about you depends greatly on how you choose to use our site.
To take advantage of our online services, you will need to fill out
our membership registration, which asks for certain personally-identifiable
information. In particular, we may ask for your name, Social Security number,
health plan member ID number, home address, date of birth, gender, telephone
number and E-mail address. All this information makes up your "Personal Profile,"
which will be associated with the username and password you choose. In addition
to the information you choose to share with us, our system is set up to gather
certain technical data to help us understand better how our site is being used
and how we can improve it. This automatically gathered information is not personally
identifying; it includes your computer's IP or "Internet Protocol" address,
statistics about how visitors navigate through our site, and information provided
through the use of cookies (which are described in more detail below). Finally,
as you visit our site, please be aware that we may link to third parties' sites
and these sites may at times gather information from you. In these cases, the
third parties would provide you with their policies and disclaimers and they
would use your information according to these policies. See "Your Options"
below for more information about what you can do to limit third party access to
your information.
USE OF INFORMATION
We feel it is important for you to know how
your information will be used before you decide what to disclose. Below, we describe
how each category of information is used and with whom it might be shared. We will
not use your information for purposes other than these unless you give us your
permission or we are legally compelled to do so, such as by a subpoena or court order.
General Health Information: If you access general health information or
general health care reference materials, we will not share your personal health
information with any third party or your employer.
Program Enrollment: If you access online enrollment in a disease management
program, we may share your enrollment information with your health plan but will not
provide this information to your employer or any other third party.
Secured Messaging: If you choose to ask a personal health question
to one of our health care professionals through our secured message system, we will
not share your personal health information with a third party. In certain rare instances
we may provide this information to your health plan if you require highly complex care
and assistance in coordinating medical care and insurance benefits.
Cookies: Cookies are small files that we send to and store on your
computer for the duration of the Internet browser session so that we may provide
customized content as you visit our site. Our cookies are used to keep track of your
information for your own convenience. Cookies also help us understand the demographics
of our audience and their traffic patterns within our site. We may share this kind of
information, in aggregated, non-personal form, with other third parties.
INFORMATION SECURITY
In order to maintain the integrity and security of your
personal information, we will ask for or transmit this information only over secure Internet
connections, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption - the recognized standard for online
security. Of course, we appreciate your help in safeguarding the integrity
of your own privacy. Please keep your username and password confidential and safe from discovery
by others, and close your browser after using our site to ensure that later users of your computer
cannot return to pages displaying your personal information. Just as importantly, we encourage you
to let us know immediately if you suspect that the information you share with us is being used in
any way contrary to this Privacy Policy. To contact us you can send a feedback message using the
Feedback or Contact Us site features.
YOUR OPTIONS
Reading this Privacy Policy should help you understand how any
information you share with us might be used. If you feel concerned about any of these uses, you might
elect not to participate in some of the services that we offer. We will never collect personally
identifying information about you without your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share
this information is completely up to you. If you feel concerned about the cookies that are sent to
your computer, you may either choose to reject them automatically, or have your computer prompt you
before accepting them. This is done by selecting the appropriate cookies setting on your Web browser,
usually found in "Internet Options" or "Preferences." Please note, however, that many of our service's
features depend on the use of cookies. Therefore, you will be unable to take advantage of those features
if you choose not to accept cookies. Our site also gives you the ability to view and edit your Personal
Profile at any time.
SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy only applies to this Web site.
Our pages may contain links to sites outside our control. Please be aware that these sites may collect
information about you, and that they operate according to their own privacy practices. In addition,
we offer some of our services jointly with third parties. In these situations, the third party might
collect and use your information pursuant to its own policies. We encourage you to become familiar
with that company's privacy policy before using the service. And remember that once you're outside
our Web site, any information you submit is outside of our control.
