E-Mail
Sawgrass Plans welcomes your comments or questions and has provided e-mail
boxes for that purpose. We will share your comments and questions with our
customer service representatives and those employees most capable of addressing
your questions and concerns.
Please note that 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 us. For that
reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use e-mail to communicate
information to us that you consider confidential. If you wish, you may contact
us instead via telephone at the numbers provided at various locations on our
sites or, in the case of our health plan members, at the Member Services
toll-free number that appears on your ID card.
There are some locations on Sawgrass Plans' websites 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.
"Cookies"
You should also be aware that when you visit our websites, we may collect
certain information that does not identify you personally, but provides us with
"usage data," such as the number of visitors we receive or what pages are
visited most often. This data helps us to analyze and improve the usefulness of
the information we provide at this website.
We may also use what is known as "cookie" technology. A "cookie" is an
element of data that a website can send to your browser when you link to that
website. It is not a computer program and has no ability to read data residing
on your computer or instruct it to perform any step or function. By assigning a
unique data element to each visitor, the website is able to recognize repeat
users, track usage patterns and better serve you when you return to that site.
The cookie does not extract other personal information about you, such as your
name or address. Most browsers provide a simple procedure that will enable you
to control whether you want to receive cookies by notifying you when a website
is about to deposit a cookie file.
Links to Outside Sites
Sawgrass Plans may provide links to other websites, not owned or
controlled by Sawgrass Plans, that we think might be useful or of interest to
you. We cannot, however, be responsible for the privacy practices used by other
website owners or the content or accuracy of those other websites. Links to
these various websites does not constitute or imply endorsement by Sawgrass
Plans of these websites, any products or services described on these sites, or
of any other material contained in them. Security Sawgrass Plans' web site must
be used with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) compatible browser or terminal (for
example, Netscape or Internet Explorer versions 3.0 or greater). Our SSL web
server uses authentication and offers the highest level (128-bit RC4) of
encryption technology commercially available. You can tell when you are secure
by looking at the location (URL) field. If the URL begins with https:// (instead
of http://), the document comes from a secure server.
Please be advised that Sawgrass Plans may change this policy from time to
time. When updates are made, the Privacy Policy "updated on:" date (located at
the bottom of the page) will also be updated to reflect that a revision
occurred. We encourage you to periodically reread this Policy to see if there
have been any changes that may affect you.
