ENCOMPASS Privacy Policy

ENCOMPASS Health Management Systems Commitment to Privacy

ENCOMPASS Health Management Systems (ENCOMPASS) recognizes that whether you are an existing client or are considering a relationship with us, you have an interest in how we collect, maintain, and use information about you. We respect your right to privacy and want you to know how we handle the information we receive from you via the Internet.

Personal Information

When you visit the ENCOMPASS web site and use it to communicate with us, we will not collect personal information about you, unless you provide us that information voluntarily. If you provide personal information voluntarily, we will not sell, license or transmit that information outside ENCOMPASS and those affiliated companies involved in administering or providing contracted services, unless required to do so by legal, judicial or governmental proceedings, or unless we do so in accordance with an express authorization you have given us. Once we have responded to your communication, it may be discarded or archived, depending on the nature of the inquiry.

Personal information can be anything that identifies you or your accounts. It may be volunteered in a form submitted through our web site or sent to ENCOMPASS via e-mail.

General Information

When you visit our web site, ENCOMPASS may collect general or "usage" information (such as the type of browser you use, the pages you visit, and your domain name). We may use this information to improve the performance and content of our site to better meet your needs. Users` IP addresses help us project problems with our server and functionally administer our web site. ENCOMPASS may also use IP addresses to collect broad demographic information about visitors. This information does not identify you personally, and therefore, ENCOMPASS can not use this information for direct marketing or solicitation of business.

Using E-mail

Please note your e-mail, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet e-mail communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to the receiver. For that reason, to best protect your privacy, please do not use e-mail to communicate information you consider confidential to us. We encourage customers to send confidential correspondence through the postal service or by using the telephone to speak directly to our employees. We are not responsible for the security or confidentiality of communications you send to us through the Internet using the e-mail process.

There are locations on our web site where we have made special provisions for a more secure environment in which we can exchange information with you. At each of these locations, we will provide you with appropriate instructions.

Security

ENCOMPASS adheres to stringent security standards on our web site. These measures are designed to protect non-public personal information against accidental or unauthorized access or disclosure. ENCOMPASS employs administrative, physical and technical barriers to create a protective firewall around the information stored on this site. VeriSign® data encryption methods are used on pages where non-public information can be found.

Links to Other Sites

The ENCOMPASS web site contains links to other web sites, not owned or controlled by ENCOMPASS, that we think might be useful or of interest to you. ENCOMPASS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content used by other web site owners, including those to which our web site offers direct links. Links to various non-ENCOMPASS web sites do not constitute or imply endorsement by ENCOMPASS of these web sites, products or services described on these sites, or any other material the sites may contain.

Changes to this Statement

ENCOMPASS may change our Commitment to Privacy statement from time to time without notice. This statement is not intended to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.

ENCOMPASS` goal is to protect your information on the Internet in the same way that we protect it whenever we interact with you.
