Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is important to Subimo; therefore, we conduct our business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what data Subimo may collect, how Subimo uses and safeguards that data and with whom we may share it.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Subimo web sites and Subimo Products owned by Subimo®, LLC including, but not limited to, Healthcare Advisor^SM, Pharma Advisor®, Hospital Advisor, Coverage Advisor^SM, Treatment Cost Advisor^SM, Physician Selection Advisor^SM, Hospital Advisor^SM, Hospital Performance Advisor^SM, and Physician Selection Advisor^SM and each of the forgoing related Spanish translations and/or the subimo.com site and/or the MyHealthcare Advisor SM or www.myhca.com site (collectively ‘Web Site(s)”) and is intended to clarify how any of your information may be used. By using the Subimo Web Site or communicating with Subimo by email, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy.

Personal data: Subimo will not collect identifiable personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you (a) voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. by registration, survey, or otherwise), respectively, (b)  provide your consent, or (c) unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations for the protection of your personal data.

Subimo does reserve the right to review and analyze aggregated data.

We may update this privacy policy in the future to reflect any revisions, and we encourage you to return to this page from time to time for any updates.   If you continue to use this web site after this policy is updated, you agree to the revised terms.

Access to Subimo's Web Sites may have been made available to you through your employer, a benefits management firm, insurance company, health care provider, via our consumer website, or another organization involved in helping improve the quality of your health care. You acknowledge and understand that in some instances, that organization may have provided Subimo with some limited information about you such as what health benefit plan you may be eligible for.

Security of Information: We commit to using security procedures to protect information you voluntarily submit to us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. Subimo does not store any personally identifiable information about you that you input while using the Web Site, unless, as stated above, you voluntarily provide us with that information as part of a registration, survey or other clearly identified activity.  Any information about the health plans you are considering, whether provided to us by your employer or by your health plan, is stored in our secure database. This database is physically housed in a secure, protected environment and behind an electronic firewall.

Access to the data within Subimo is limited to a few computer technicians for our site who need to maintain the database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and software tools.

Subimo makes every effort to safeguard your information. However, like other Internet web sites, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet.

Similarly, we cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from our Web Sites because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from our site. This includes e-mail you send to us through our various mailboxes. If you are concerned about your privacy, we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive.

Cookies: Cookies are small bits of information placed on your computer's hard drive by a web site. A cookie is a simple text file that helps your browser remember certain information that the web site can later retrieve to streamline communication between your browser and the Web site. Subimo does not store this information. Our site can only read the cookies placed on your computer by us. We cannot access any information on your hard drive placed there by you or any other source.

Subimo uses only benign cookies that have no functionality. This means the cookie cannot do anything to your computer's hard drive and cannot read information from your computer's hard drive.

Subimo uses cookies solely for user convenience. The cookie will tell our system certain information so you don't have to re-enter the same information each time you move from one page to another during your current visit to our site.

Cookies also may be used by Subimo on an aggregate basis to track site navigation. This information is not traceable to an individual user. Navigation streams are used to assist us in determining where people go when visiting our site and how long they stay in a particular area. This information is used to improve our site and may be shared with advertisers and site sponsors.

Unlike many other web sites, Subimo Web Sites do not use cookies to tailor advertisements or other information that appears during your visit to your preferences or your use of our site.

The cookie feature can be turned off on your browser. For more information on turning off the cookie feature, consult your browser's help section. If you reject our cookies, some of the functions of our Web Sites may not work properly. Once the cookie feature on your browser is turned off, you might have to "refuse" a cookie each time you encounter one searching our site.

IP Addresses: An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) whenever you access the Internet. This number may be the same each time you access the Internet or it may change. Like other Internet sites, Subimo uses IP addresses to collect aggregate information about numbers of visitors and site usage. The address is logged on our server when your computer requests information from Subimo. However, to allow users to access our site anonymously, your IP address is not linked with personal information about you. Subimo reserves the right, in rare instances, to use IP addresses to identify individuals who threaten our site, service or customers.

Surveys, Questionnaires and Polls: Periodically, we may provide surveys, questionnaires, and polls on our site. Participation is completely voluntary. When you respond to surveys, questionnaires or polls on our site, we may ask you for demographic information such as your gender or age. This information is shared only as anonymous, aggregated information and is used for statistical purposes.

Children: We will not knowingly allow children or minors under the age of 18 to register on our site for any purpose or to access any features that require registration.

Leaving Subimo:  This privacy policy applies only as long as you remain on the Subimo Web Sites. Subimo provides links to other Web sites. This privacy statement does not cover the information practices of those web sites linked to Subimo. Once you leave Subimo to visit another site, we have no control over your privacy or security issues even if you reached the other site by clicking on a link within Subimo.

Throughout Subimo, you will see links that can lead you to another site. If you click on one of these links while you are on Subimo, you will be leaving Subimo and will be directed to the linked web site. Also, if you click on a link or a "Return to" or "Back to" banner for another web site, you will be leaving Subimo and will be directed to the linked web site. At times, clicking on a hyperlink within an article will bring up information on another site.

Please be aware that Subimo is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other sites and to be aware that some of these sites may collect personally identifiable information about you.

Effect of Privacy Policy: This privacy policy is not intended to and does not create any contractual or legal rights in or on behalf of any third party.
