At Healthx we're dedicated to maintaining your privacy. See how far we've gone to protect it.

Healthx has created this Privacy Policy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for this website: Healthx.

Visitor Tracking

Healthx places great importance on visitor privacy and security. We do not require site registration by visitors and we do not pass personal information about individual users to any third party without your prior knowledge and consent. Healthx reserves the right to perform statistical analysis of user behavior in order to measure consumer interest in the various areas of our site, and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or clicked on their advertising banners and/or rate-quoting forms. In performance of these analysis, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form; no individual information will be given. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic user information.

Ads & Cookie Technology

Cookies, which are very small files sent to your web browser by a site's server, enable more efficient ad processing, letting us streamline many of our ad presentations eliminating repetitive ads. Cookies cannot get information from your hard drive without your permission, destroy files, or send you viruses. Some of Healthx's advertising is delivered using cookies. We count the number of its readers who view and click on ads, use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, and to save your password so you don't have to reenter it each time you visit our site.

Registration Material

Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information like a name and e-mail address (brokers are required to provide state license numbers and additional information); unique identifiers and demographic information like a zip code, age, or income level (small businesses are asked additional information, such as their current insurance carrier, their insurance renewal date and the SIC code for their business). The customer's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future communications; see the choice/opt-out section below. Unique identifiers (such as social security numbers) are collected to verify the user's identity. Demographic and profile data are also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences.

Site Security Measures

Personally identifiable information collected by cookies and site-analysis tools is stored in electronic logs behind our firewall, but is not sold and can be accessed only by approved Healthx staff.
