Blue Button Privacy Policy

Overview

Our Privacy Policy outlines our procedures for gathering and utilizing data acquired via this website. It is designed to provide comprehensive information for individuals who are worried about the way their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is used online. According to US privacy regulations and data security guidelines, PII refers to data that can, either on its own or when combined with other information, be employed to recognize, communicate with, locate, or contextualize an individual. We urge you to thoroughly review our privacy policy to gain a clear comprehension of how we collect, employ, safeguard, and otherwise manage your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website MEDIGAP INSTANT QUOTES and your interaction with the Ascend Quote and Enrollment product (referred to collectively as the “Site”).

We gather and handle data that comprises protected health information (PHI). The safeguarding of your PHI is ensured by the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its associated set of laws, particularly the Privacy Rule outlined in 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 & 164. These rules are enforced by the federal Department of Health and Human Services and impose specific limitations on how we can use and share PHI while mandating the preservation of its privacy & security.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE GATHER?

We gather and retain all data you input on MEDIGAP INSTANT QUOTES or provide to our website through any other way. Additionally, when you access or browse our website, specific information is gathered automatically. This includes data obtained through cookies and comparable technologies. Furthermore, we obtain personal information from our website visitors, such as your name, address, mailing address, and telephone number.

We will gather additional details related to your demographics & personal information, including your Protected Health Information (PHI) as mandated by HIPAA regulations. When you register with your chosen health plan, your PHI will be transmitted via the website to the selected health plan.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We may use the data we gather from you for various purposes, including tailoring your experience, providing content and products that align with your interests, enhancing our website to provide you with better service, and improving our ability to respond to your inquiries and feedback.

The data gathered through the tools on this website is utilized to facilitate your enrollment in the selected health plan. By using the site, you agree to allow this information to be shared with the website and subsequently transmitted to the chosen health plan.

We might utilize your data for various purposes, including resolving issues, meeting legal responsibilities like court directives or other legal procedures, asserting or exercising our legal privileges, protecting ourselves against legal complaints, or fulfilling legal requirements. Additionally, we may need to respond to situations related to corporate transactions, such as divestitures, investments, mergers, consolidations, asset sales, or other significant matters.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?

Although no website can provide absolute security assurance, we make diligent commercial efforts to safeguard your information. This includes maintaining sufficient physical, procedural, and technical security measures for our offices and data storage facilities. Our aim is to stop any unauthorized access, loss, misuse, revelation, or modification of the information we control.

DO WE REVEAL ANY INFORMATION TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?

We don’t engage in the sale, exchange, or any other form of external distribution of the personally identifiable information we gather from your visit to the website except when transferring it to the health plan of your choice. We might, however, collaborate with third-party entities who have established agreements with us to ensure the privacy and security of the data we share. These entities could include our development partners and the third parties responsible for hosting our services.

HOW DO WE SAVE AND ENCRYPT YOUR DATA?

Your data is not kept on any specific device; instead, it is stored in secure facilities that employ encryption for safeguarding your information, whether it’s on computer servers or held by a third party. Additionally, your data remains encrypted during transmission.

ACCESS TO OTHER DATA

None of our technologies will demand access to data or applications stored on other devices, such as your mobile’s camera, pictures, or contact numbers. None of our technologies share any details with your social media accounts, like Instagram or Facebook.
