KAHS values your privacy and recognizes the sensitivity
of your personal information. Our employees share the same concerns. Together,
we work toward protecting your privacy. We have carefully crafted our Privacy
Policy to assure you that the personal information you provide to us will be
treated carefully and appropriately.
You will be required to provide certain personal information in
order to use this site, its features and other functions. In addition, other
information about you will be generated by your use of the site and any
participation in a health benefit plan that provides coverage for you. By
providing such information and by using the site, you consent to our collection
and use of the information, as described in this Privacy Policy.
Several individuals and entities may require access to your
personal information in order for you to participate as a member of a health
benefits plan. Some of these individuals and entities may include health
program underwriters, Third Party Administrators, and licensed producers for
purposes of considering and verifying your participation in a health benefits
plan and in connection with other administrative activities, as well as certain
other administrative service providers who have agreed to provide support
services to KAHS. These administrative service providers may include
entities providing claims processing, insurance, stop-loss insurance and
third-party administrator functions. While KAHS attempts to require that
its service providers not further use or disclose your personal information for
any purpose other than as described in this Privacy Policy, KAHS cannot
guarantee their compliance with such restrictions. KAHS will otherwise
only release your personal information to third parties in the following
limited circumstances: will otherwise only release your personal information to
third parties in the following limited circumstances:
i. If legally required to do so under a law, regulation,
search warrant, subpoena or court order;
ii. If the rights or property of KAHS, its service
providers or the users of the website are at risk; or
iii. If the personal safety of users of the website or other
members of the public are at risk.
KAHS may also use your personal information to generate
information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted
("Aggregated Information"). Aggregated Information shows user activity as a
whole rather than on an individual basis. For example, KAHS might
compile personal information in order to determine the percentage of Users that
live in a particular geographic area or who might obtain a particular
healthcare service. KAHS reserves the right to perform statistical
analyses and profiling of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure
interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform third
parties of such information. In some cases, KAHS may receive fees for
providing this information. KAHS will provide only aggregate data from
these analyses to third parties; no personal information will be disclosed.
KAHS may also use your contact information to contact you
regarding various matters, including the status of your membership. You may
also be contacted by us or by licensed producers regarding additional services
and features, or requesting your feedback about your experience with the Site.
The Site may provide you with e-mail capabilities and/or
bulletin boards and chat rooms for your use. In the event you voluntarily
disclose personal information using such convenience services, that
information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your
communication or post, can be collected, correlated and used by third parties.
This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of KAHS. KAHS does not monitor or review the
contents of any e-mail, bulletin board or chat room.
KAHS takes every reasonable precaution to protect site
users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website
(such as social security number), that information is encrypted during the
transmission process. Despite the use of encryption technology to protect your
information, you should be aware that no security system is foolproof. While KAHS
attempts to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing stored files or
tampering with the website, KAHS cannot guarantee that these efforts
will be successful. KAHS is not liable for disclosures of user
information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third
parties.
KAHS also does everything reasonable to protect user
information off-line. KAHS takes reasonable measures to limit access of
personal information in its possession to KAHS employees who need the
information to perform a specific job or individuals and entities that may
require access to this information to provide you with the benefits of
membership. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices. Our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that the site
users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store all personal
information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked door.
Like most websites, KAHS Site uses "cookies" to allow you
to move more quickly through the site. Cookies are small text files a website
can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate their ongoing access to and
use of the site. Cookies do not collect personal information, but collect
information related to the characteristics of your computer, or when and how
you reached the Site. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to
the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. KAHS cannot
control the use of cookies by advertisers or third parties hosting data for KAHS.
If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a
simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie
feature. Please note that cookies may be necessary to enable you to use certain
features on KAHS Site.
KAHS may provide you with links to the websites of third
parties. In the event you choose to access such websites, KAHS is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. We recommend
that you check the applicable privacy policy of such party before providing
personal information to it, as its privacy policy may differ from that of KAHS.
By following the simple instructions on KAHS, you may
correct or update any of the information you provide to us at any time by
accessing the "Administration" section of the Site or by calling KAHS at
(800) 432-1228.
KAHS reserves the right, at its discretion, to change,
modify, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. If we change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you may become
aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances we disclose it. You should visit this page from time to time to
review the then-current policy because it is binding on you. We may also
contact you by e-mail with any changes.
KAHS is not intended or designed to attract children
under the age of 13. We do not collect personal information directly from any
person we actually know is a child under the age of 13. However, if a parent
learns that a child under the age of 13 has submitted information to our
website, the parent should contact us and that information will be deleted.
We invite your comments and questions about KAHS, your
experience with our site and services, and our Privacy Policy. Please contact
us at administration@keyahs.com.
