This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Website and not to any other websites that you may be able to access from the Website, each of which may have data collection, storage, and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy. When you leave the Website via a link to another website, you are subject to that site’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and other policies (“Third Party website policies”) applicable to that site and you should review the Third Party website policies.

 

i. Types of Information Collected

Medicare Management of WNY may collect two different types of information, Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”). PII and Non-PII may be collected anytime you access or use a Medicare Management of WNY website, including this Website. PII and Non-PII may also be collected by Medicare Management of WNY during in-person discussions, telephone conversations, and electronic or other written communications.

 

Personally Identifiable Information Collected : In order for you to access and use the services  offered through the Websites, we may require you to provide information that identifies you as an individual ( i.e. , “PII”). PII may include the following categories of information: (1) Contact Data (such as your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number(s)); (2) Financial Data (such as your account or credit card number); and (3) Demographic Data (such as your zip code and age). If you communicate with us by email, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin boards, or forums, or otherwise complete online forms or surveys, any information provided may be collected as PII.

 

Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collected : We may automatically track and collect the following categories of information when you visit our Website: (1) IP addresses; (2) domain servers; (3) types of computers accessing the Website; and (4) types of web browsers used to access the Website (collectively “Non-PII”).

ii. Uses of Information Collected

Medicare Management of WNY uses PII to respond to your inquiries, provide you with services you have requested, keep you informed of services and products Medicare Management of WNY thinks may be of interest to you, and otherwise personalize your experience with Medicare Management of WNY, among other reasons. Medicare Management of WNY does not sell or lease PII about you to others. 

iii. Technology We May Use: Cookies, Web Beacons, and Clear Gifs

Cookies and web beacons are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. Medicare Management of WNY collects information through cookies and web beacons about your web browsing activities such as the address of the page you are visiting, the address of the referrer page you previously visited, the time you are viewing the page, your browsing environment, and your display settings. We may use cookies and web beacons on our Website for the following purposes:

- Understanding traffic patterns and the number of visitors to the Website and other websites that we partner with;

- Improving Medicare Management of WNY’s services and products;

- Optimizing your experience on the Website;

- Providing anonymous individual or aggregate auditing, research, modeling, and reporting for our advertisers and other partners;

- Storing your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Website;

- Providing you with relevant advertising and content; and

- Managing our Website.

Clear Gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, used to track the online movements of Website visitors. Please note that cookies, web beacons and clear gifs may be placed by a third party service provider who performs these functions for us. These third parties may have their own privacy policies. Medicare Management of WNY does not use cookies, web beacons, or clear gifs to collect or store any PII.

 

iv. Sharing of Personal Information

Medicare Management of WNY may share PII with Medicare Management of WNY affiliates, advertisers, and third parties contracting with Medicare Management of WNY to provide services to you. The other parties with whom we share PII may send information to you about other products or services. We do not share your Financial Data with these third parties. We may share Financial Data with business partners who assist us by performing core services (such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, or data storage and security) related to our operation of the Website and provision of services. Those business partners agree to uphold the same standards of security and confidentiality described in this Privacy Policy, and they will only use your Financial Data to carry out their specific business obligations to Medicare Management of WNY. If you do not want us to share your PII with any third parties, please email us at info@wnymedicare.org .

 

If we or some or all of our assets are acquired by another company, including through a sale in connection with a bankruptcy, that company will possess the information collected by us, and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your PII as described in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose PII or other data to comply with the law or legal requirements, enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, or protect our rights, property, the safety of our users, or others.

 

Because Non-PII does not personally identify You, Medicare Management of WNY reserves the right to use and disclose to third parties Non-PII for any purpose.

 

v. Interest-Based Ads

We may also may share Non-PII with advertisers and other third parties who may use it for advertising purposes, including to serve targeted advertising on non-affiliated third party sites. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you

based on information about your online activities on the Website or other websites over time. For example, anonymous information collected across multiple sites may enable the ad network to predict your preferences and show you ads that are likely to be of interest to you. Please note

that we do not share any information that identifies you personally with the third party service providers who serve ads on our behalf. To opt out of these types of ads, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) for information about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising

by their members.
