GroupAccess > Privacy Statement
We recognize and respect your desire for privacy when it comes to your personal and healthcare affairs. We attempt to protect online information according to established Company security standards and practices, and we continually evaluate new technologies for safeguarding information.
Please use your best judgment when sending information via the Internet to an email address. Email sent via the Internet may pass through private and public networks with varying levels of security. Some networks may have taken steps to secure email transmissions while others have not, thereby compromising the privacy and integrity of an email. An email may be copied, altered or destroyed.
If you have personal or confidential information to relay to our Company, please call the appropriate member service phone number found under our myBlueCross Customer Contact Us page.
We preserve the content of your email, your email address, and our response so we can efficiently respond to questions you might have. We also do this in an effort to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
If you choose to not be contacted by email, we will respect your request.
You may have the opportunity to provide information to us through online surveys and forms. We use this information to better understand healthcare needs and to provide quality products, services and other opportunities.
We want your visit to our website to be informative and enjoyable. Any information you provide will be used to help us continually improve the content, functionality and overall usefulness of our website; but in no way will make specific and individually identifiable information given to us available without your specific consent.
