Privacy Policy
DATE EFFECTIVE: April 24, 2013
Your privacy and the privacy of all users of this website is very important to us. We have adopted the following Privacy Policy for the FAIR Health website (fairhealth.org) and all successor sites, including, but not limited to, the FH Consumer Cost Lookup website, the FAIR Health Research Support Program website and the FH Fee Estimator website (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by FAIR Health, Inc. (“FAIR Health,” "we," "us," "our"). By using the Site you, as an individual and on behalf of your company or institution (“you,” “your”) agree to the collection and use of your personal information by us in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is current as of the effective date stated above. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be posted on this page; therefore, we encourage you to check this page regularly. You can determine when this Policy was last revised by referring to the "DATE EFFECTIVE" legend at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site following any changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
Information We Collect
You can visit and browse the Site without revealing your own personally identifiable information. You also may voluntarily disclose additional information to us, which may include, but is not limited to:
· Name, address and telephone numbers
· Email addresses
· Personal information and preferences provided by Internet activity and survey responses
· Credit/debit card number(s), associated billing address and expiration date(s)
If you choose to license any data for research purposes, you must complete the application and disclose personally identifiable information about you, the principal investigator of the research project and the researchers, including names, the name of the institution licensing the data (if applicable), addresses, telephone numbers, location where the data products will be accessed and used and e-mail addresses.
We may collect "non-personally identifiable information" such as your website browsing patterns, browser variables (for example, media access control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system version, Internet browser and Internet browser version), IP address or demographic information. We and our service providers may collect such non-personally identifiable information from you by "passive" means, often through the use of cookies, "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means. In addition, sometimes the Site may set a "session cookie" to help us administer the Site. A session cookie expires when you close your browser and does not retain any information about you after it expires. We and our service providers also may use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means in connection with Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to track the actions of Site users and e-mail recipients on the Site and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage. We also may collect demographic information that you provide to us, such as your zip code or professional background. We use your demographic information to tailor the Site to users’ needs and preferences and for our internal purposes. Additionally, we may aggregate personally identifiable information so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, such as by using personally identifiable information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code. We consider aggregated information to be non-personally identifiable information.
This Site is not intended for use by children. We do not solicit or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we receive actual knowledge that we have received such personal information, we will delete the information from our database as soon as possible.
How We Use and Disclose Information Collected on the Site
We will use your personally identifiable information for customer service and to customize our users’ experience on the Site. Your personal information is used by us to respond to your questions, inquiries, comments and instructions and to fulfill your requests.

We do not disclose any personally identifiable information that we collect from the Site to third parties for their marketing purposes without your prior consent.
We may disclose personally identifiable information to third-party service companies to help us operate our business and the Site or to administer activities on our behalf and may share your information with these companies for those limited purposes.
We use non-personally identifiable information for internal purposes and to help us interact with visitors to the Site. We also may share non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form with third parties to illustrate trends and patterns. Because non-personally identifiable information does not identify you, we reserve the right to use and disclose it for any purpose. If FAIR Health or any of its assets are sold or if it is merged with another company or if it declares bankruptcy, some or all of the information collected from your information may be transferred to a third party as a result of such event.
Links
The Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the information collection practices or the content of the websites to which our Site is linked that are not owned or operated by us. We encourage you to read the privacy statements provided by those other websites before you provide personally identifiable information to them.

Security
Information Security is important to us. We seek to have security measures in place to protect the security of your personally identifiable information. These safeguards are regularly reviewed to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure and improper use of your information, and to maintain the accuracy and integrity of that data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with the Site or of information stored by us. You acknowledge and agree that any information you transmit through the Site or upload for storage in connection with the Site is so transmitted or stored at your own risk.
