1. Tandigm Value Partners Website Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Tandigm Value Partners website. Our publicly-accessible website is designed to make it easier for visitors to learn about the services and programs provided by TVP. As with all online resources, we appreciate that visitors to our website are concerned about the privacy of personal information. This Privacy Policy discloses TVP’s policy for collecting, using and disseminating information through its website. Please note that this Privacy Policy is distinct from TVP’s Notice of Privacy Practices (“the TVP Notice”), which is a special notice required by a federal privacy law known as “the HIPAA Privacy Rule.” The TVP Notice describes how TVP uses “individually identifiable health information” collected by TVP — both online and offline — to provide services to you and to administer the various programs that TVP administers. Together, this Privacy Policy and the TVP Notice describe how TVP uses your individually identifiable health information and personal information collected through this website. Information you provide to TVP in an offline setting is covered by the TVP Notice but is not covered by this Privacy Policy unless otherwise specified in this Policy.

2. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors to Tandigm Value Partners’ Website

When you visit www.tandigmvaluepartners.com, TVP may collect and/or track: (1) your home server domain names, your email address, your type of computer, the files downloaded, the search engine used, operating system, and type of web browser; (2) the email address you use when you communicate with TVP via email; (3) information knowingly provided by you in online forms, surveys, email, contest entries, and other online submissions (including demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate information on pages accessed by you. To better serve you, we use “cookies” to customize your browsing experience. Cookies are simple text files stored by your browser, and they provide a method of distinguishing among visitors to our sites. We use “cookies” to store a randomly generated tag on your computer such that when you revisit our sites, we may recognize you by the Internet cookie and customize your experience accordingly. The cookies created on your computer by using our sites do not contain personally identifiable information. You may refuse a cookie or delete the cookies file from your computer at any time by using any one of a number of widely available methods.

3. Use of Online Personal Data Collected Through Tandigm Value Partners’ Website

When you access the website, you may choose to give TVP online personal information about you. “Online personal information” is any information or data you provide through this website that is individually identifiable, such as a name, address, postal address, email address, birth date, phone number, and other personal information, including health information that you voluntarily provide to TVP. It also may include other information that we collect about you that is associated with your name or address, such as your email address. You may provide that information to us on our website, if you email us, or at some other point during your online interaction.

TVP may use the online personal information for a number of different reasons, including editorial and feedback purposes, healthcare marketing and promotions, performing a statistical analysis of visitor usage, product development, content improvement, to protect our rights or property, or to customize the content and layout of our site. Aggregate data that does not identify individual users may be used for internal purposes or provided to third parties.

Personally identifiable information (PII) that visitors voluntarily provide to TVP, online or offline, may be added to our databases and used for future communications, which may include website updates, new products and services, the confirmation of transactions through the website, upcoming events, or health reminders, and for other purposes in accordance with applicable state and federal law.

Online personal information may or may not be individually identifiable health information that is also protected by the federal HIPAA privacy law (“the HIPAA Privacy Rule”). Where online personal information also constitutes individually identifiable health information under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the provisions of this Privacy Rule and the TVP Notice also will govern TVP’s permitted uses and disclosures of the online personal information.

4. Disclosure of Online Personal Data Collected Through the Tandigm Value Partners’ Website to Third Parties

Unless otherwise authorized by a visitor or required or permitted by law [e.g., disclosure to healthcare oversight agencies, etc. would be permitted and that isn’t stated herein], TVP will not sell, rent, license, or disclose personally identifiable information collected through the VP website to unaffiliated third parties. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, however, TVP is permitted to disclose individually identifiable health information to business associates who perform various functions or provide services on their behalf. To perform these functions or to provide services, business associates will receive, create, maintain, use, or disclose individually identifiable health information that has been provided to or made available to the business associate by TVP, but only after we require the business associates to agree in writing to contract terms designed to safeguard your information.

Except as set forth above, TVP will not release personally identifiable information to any party unless required to do so by government authorities or legal process in accordance with applicable law, to protect our rights or property, or in conjunction with an acquisition of all or part of our company. Laws that permit disclosure of your personally identifiable information as part of healthcare operations might include activities such as Wellness Programs.

5. Links from Tandigm Value Partners’ Website to Other Websites

The TVP website may include links to other organizations’ websites for your convenience in locating health-related information, services, and products. Please be advised that when you link to these other sites, you are leaving TVP’s website and that these other sites are maintained by organizations over which Tandigm may have no control.

Accordingly, a link on any of these sites does not constitute an endorsement of the content, viewpoint, policies, products, or services provided or advertised on that site. These other third-party sites may have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies or no policy at all. Once you link to a website not maintained by TVP, you are subject to any terms and conditions of that site, including, but not limited to any privacy policy. The TVP Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Access do not apply to the sites of such other third parties. TVP does not guarantee that you will receive an alert that you are leaving a TVP website and linking to other third-party websites. It is your responsibility to determine when you have left the TVP website.

6. Security Measures

TVP has implemented numerous security features to prevent the unauthorized release of, or access to, personal information. For example, all TVP employees are required to certify their understanding that personal information is considered confidential, that it is important to safeguard personal information, and that TVP will take appropriate action against any employee who fails to acknowledge these facts or adhere to the requisite security standards of conduct.

You should be aware that the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from TVP via this site or email cannot be guaranteed. TVP is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. Visitors who prefer to communicate with TVP in another manner other than through our site can write to us via regular mail at: 300 Four Falls Corporate Center, 300 Conshohocken State Road, Suite 260, West Conshohocken, PA 19428.

7. Opt-out Right

Visitors may opt out of having certain personally identifiable information, i.e., PHI, used by TVP or its affiliates for health-related promotional communications by contacting TVP via regular mail or email at the addresses above. This opt-out right does not apply to TVP’s collection of the type of web browser of the visitor to TVP’s site or the sharing of PHI permitted under the HIPAA Privacy Rule for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations as described above.

8. Access to and Ability to Correct Online Personal Data

Upon request via regular mail or email, TVP provides visitors a summary of any personally identifiable information retained by TVP regarding the visitor. Visitors may seek to modify, correct, change, or update information that TVP has collected by contacting us via regular mail or email at the addresses above. Although you may provide individually identifiable health information on this website, the information is not a medical record, and is not, under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, considered information we maintain in a designated record set. Such information, however, will be treated as PHI, as discussed in this Privacy Policy and in TVP’s Notice.

9. Collection of Online Personal Data From Children

TVP does not attempt to knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Adults should not assist minors in accessing the Site. When visitors enter personal information on our website, the visitor is representing to us that he/she is an adult over 18 years old.

To the extent that TVP is able to determine the age of visitors by their submissions to or communications with TVP’s site, TVP will not knowingly (1) collect or post information from individuals under age 18 without their parent’s or guardian’s consent, or (2) provide any personally identifying information collected from children, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless otherwise permitted by law.

No information collected through TVP’s website from visitors who identify themselves as children will knowingly be used for any promotional purposes. If there are no age restrictions on a contest that requires registration, and if a child wins, notification and prizes will be sent to the parents or guardians identified in the initial registration process.
