WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

INTRODUCTION
We recognize the privacy of your personal information is important. The purpose
of this policy is to let you know how we handle the information collected
through the use of this website. Portions of this website may describe privacy
practices applicable to specific types of information or to information provided
on specific web pages.

This policy does not apply to information collected through other means such as
by telephone or in person, although that information may be protected by other
privacy policies. As used in this policy, terms such as "we", "us", "our" and
“Company” refer to UnitedHealthcare and its current and future affiliated
entities, including our parent company UnitedHealth Group.

This website is intended for a United States audience. Any information you
provide, including any personal information, will be transferred to and
processed by a computer server located within the United States.

COOKIES AND TRACKING
The Company may use various technologies, including cookies, tokens, tags, web
logs, web beacons, scripts, and web server logs to gather automatically
collected information and may aggregate this information from our website
visitors or to enable certain features of our website. This information may
include demographic data, technical information about the technology (e.g.,
phone, computer) used to connect to the website, web browser information, your
IP address, and browsing behavior such as pages visited and how often they are
visited (“Activity Information”). We may also use third-party analytics
companies to provide these services.

We may also allow third party service providers to use cookies and other
technologies to collect information and to track browsing activity over time and
across third-party websites such as web browsers used to read our websites,
which websites are referring traffic or linking to our websites, and to deliver
targeted advertisements to you. We do not control these third-party technologies
and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such
technologies. For more information about third party advertising networks and
similar entities that use these technologies, see www.youradchoices.com/control,
and to opt-out of such ad networks’ and services’ advertising practices, go to
www.optout.aboutads.info and http://www.networkadvertising.org. Once you click
the link, you may choose to opt out of such advertising from all participating
advertising companies or only advertising provided by specific advertising
companies. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated
into our website, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of
tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored. Also, we
do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any
choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or
accuracy of these mechanisms.

Activity Information is captured using various technologies and may include
cookies. “Cookies” are small text files that may be placed on your computer when
you visit a website or click on a URL. Cookies may include “single-session
cookies” which generally record information during only a single visit to a
website and then are erased, and “persistent” cookies which are generally stored
on a computer unless or until they are deleted or are set to expire. You may
disable cookies and similar items by adjusting your browser preferences at any
time; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of all the features
on our website. In addition, you may also have additional means to manage the
collection of Activity Information by:

 * Managing the use of "flash" technologies with the Flash management tools
   available at Adobe’s website;
 * Clicking on the "Opt-Out" link at the bottom of the applicable home web page,
   if applicable;
 * Visiting Google to "Opt-Out" of display advertising or customize Google
   display network ads; and/or
 * Clicking on the Optum Pixel "Opt-Out" link.
 * Clicking on the SessionCam "Opt-Out" link.

Please note that we do not currently respond to web browser “Do Not Track”
signals that provide a method to opt-out of the collection of information about
online activities over time and across third party websites or our website
because, among other reasons, there is no common definition of such signals and
no industry-accepted standards for how such signals should be interpreted.

We gather Activity Information about you in order to improve the quality of our
services, such as the best method and time to contact you. Without limiting the
other ways in which we may use Information as described herein, we may otherwise
use and disclose your Activity Information unless restricted by this Policy or
by law. Some examples of the ways we use your Activity Information include:

 * Customizing your experiences, including managing and recording your
   preferences;
 * Authenticating your account information;
 * Marketing, product development, and research purposes;
 * Tracking resources and data accessed on the Online Services;
 * Developing reports regarding website usage, activity, and statistics;
 * Assisting users experiencing problems with our services;
 * Updating and servicing our website;
 * Enabling certain functions and tools on the website; and
 * Tracking paths of visitors to the Online Services and within our website.

As described above, we may use tracking technologies that allow us to recognize
your device when you return to our website within a period of time, as
determined by us, and to support automatic login to your website. To maintain
your privacy, you should affirmatively log out of your account prior to your
session ending (whether you end your session or we end your session, for example
if our website has "timed out" – i.e. we have ended your session automatically
after a period of inactivity as determined by us in our sole discretion). Unless
you affirmatively log out of your account, you may be automatically logged back
in the next time you, or any user of your devices visits our website.

to send you an email message on our behalf. Similarly, we may hire companies to
host or operate some of our websites and related computers and software
applications.
