Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the PlanSurity family of companies, including PlanSurity Dental Designs, LLC and PlanSurity Directories, LLC (collectively, “PlanSurity”) collects, uses, shares and safeguards Personal Data and Non-Personal Data on the www.plansurity.com website, the website’s portals and any other digital services and platforms officially operated or used by PlanSurity from time to time (the “Site”), as well as by phone or by paper.  Except as explained under the heading “Exclusions” below, this Privacy Policy applies to all Users and data collected, processed, analyzed, stored or transmitted via the Site or any of its portals.  

Our Site and its portals are designed to make it easier for users of our Site (“Users” or “you”) to learn about us and about our services and programs and, in certain cases, to use our services.  The nature and extent of the Personal Data and Non-Personal Data that may be collected by or shared with PlanSurity on the Site will depend on whether a User is within a publicly-accessible section of the Site, or the User has registered for access to a portal in accordance with and subject to PlanSurity’s policies in effect from time to time. A “portal” is a website within the Site that allows two-way interaction and where PlanSurity can collect information from a User and transmit it to another User. Access to and the type of Personal Data and Non-Personal Data collected in certain portals may be restricted based on whether or not you are paying customer at the time such access is granted. Access to certain portals may also be restricted, even if you are not a paying customer, based on whether you are dental provider, employer, third-party administrator (“TPAs”) or broker doing business or considering doing business with us. Access to portals may be made subject to additional requirements and policies of PlanSurity in its sole discretion, including your acceptance of more limited rights or incurrence of additional obligations.

This Privacy Policy describes policies applicable to the collection, processing, analysis, use, storage or transmission of Personal Data and Non-Personal Data in publicly-accessible sections of the Site. While this Privacy Policy applies as the default policy for Personal Data and Non-Personal Data collected by PlanSurity in portals, as explained under the heading “Exclusions” below, the rules applicable to the collection, processing, analysis, use, storage or transmission of Personal Data and Non-Personal Data in portals may be different in certain situations.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

As PlanSurity’s products and services change from time to time, this Privacy Policy is expected to change as well. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason. The date of the last revision to the Privacy Policy will be indicated by the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.

Our processing of your data, if any, is based upon your consent, contract performance (e.g., your purchase of products), legitimate business interest (e.g., direct marketing of goods and services), or compliance with law.  You have the right to object to our processing of your data or to restrict our processing of your data.

How We Protect Personal Data

PlanSurity implements commercially reasonable security measures to help protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. Except for directories and registration lists available to customers and the sharing of information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we restrict access to Personal Data to certain companies who need the data to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals or partner organizations are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is fully secure. Accordingly, and despite our reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, PlanSurity cannot guarantee or warrant the security of the Personal Data you transmit to us, or to or from our online Site.

How you Can Access, Change and Delete your Personal Data

We rely on you to update and correct your Personal Data.  If you are a user of our Site, purchaser of PlanSurity products and services, or a PlanSurity member, you can review, update and correct your information directly on PlanSurity’s website or by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Information” section below.

Exclusions

From time to time, PlanSurity may enter into agreements with certain of its customers that contemplate the collection, processing, analysis, storage or transmission of “individually identifiable health information” of individuals enrolled in a dental plan (“covered persons”) via select portals in this Site.  This Privacy Policy is not applicable to or describes PlanSurity’s policies and procedures with respect to “individually identifiable health information”, if collected, processed, analyzed, used, stored or transmitted via any such portal, and is distinct from the PlanSurity’s Notice of Privacy Practices (the “HIPPA Notice”), a special notice with respect to the use of any “individually identifiable health information” required by a federal privacy law and regulations known, collectively, as the “HIPAA Privacy Rule, that would be provided should PlanSurity were to collect, process, analyze, use, store or transmit any such “individually identifiable health information” at any time.  A summary of our policies, the rights and obligations related to and the protections afforded under the HIPAA Privacy Rule is available for review by our customers, prospective customers and our customers’ covered persons in those portals.   Customers, prospective customers and our customers’ covered persons are encouraged to review the HIPPA Notice, as in effect from time to time.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to Personal Data and Non-Personal Data of customers or covered persons of customers collected, processed, analyzed, used, stored or transmitted via or in connection with a portal in this Site established in furtherance of the performance by PlanSurity of its obligations under agreements entered into with them (or for their benefit) to the extent the application of this Privacy Policy would be contrary or inconsistent with or prevent or change the standards of performance by any person or duplicative of procedures established under or pursuant to those agreements.  The nature, extent and treatment of such Personal Data and Non-Personal Data, including that of covered persons, will depend on the terms and conditions of those agreements, and in the case of “individually identifiable health information”, if any, the HIPAA Privacy Rule, among other applicable laws.    Prospective and actual customers are encouraged to become familiar with the terms of those agreements, as set forth in our portals, before providing their Personal Data and Non-Personal Data.
