4.1 Personal Information and Protected Health Information
(a) Personal Information and Protected Health Information. “Personal Information" means data that is personally identifiable to you, including your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and Website login credentials, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with, or linked to, such information. Your Personal Information may include “protected health information” (“PHI”) subject to privacy and security protections under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). For example, your member identification number and medication information, if applicable, would constitute PHI. For more information about how Elixir safeguards PHI in compliance with HIPAA, please see our Privacy Notice for Elixir Insurance and Elixir Pharmacy, LLC, as applicable. To the extent any terms in this Privacy Policy conflict with any terms in the Notice of Privacy Practices, the conflicting terms in the Notice of Privacy Practices will control and override the corresponding terms in this Privacy Policy.
We collect Personal Information such as the following in connection with the Website:
- (i) When you create an account with us, we will collect your first and last name, middle initial, e-mail address, password, address, and telephone number.
(b) Transactions. In addition to providing Personal Information during the registration process, you may provide us with Personal Information and PHI to fulfill transactions that you may have requested through the Website.
(c) Contacting Us. After you register for our Website, you may contact us through the Website to provide feedback and testimonials about your use of the Website. You may provide Personal Information to us when you provide feedback on and testimonials about our Site.
(d) Analytics. We may use certain in-house or third-party functionality to analyze your communications with us and interactions with the Website. The analysis enables us to monitor the services that we provide so that we can improve the services provided to you through the Website. These third parties will be required to protect any Personal Information and PHI in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Other analytics capabilities are reflected below in the description of Non-Personal Information.
4.2 Non-Personal Information and Other Types of Data
(a) Non-Personal Information. When you use the Website, and during your interactions with the Website, we may collect Non-Personal Information from you (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information means a data element or collection of data elements that by itself cannot ordinarily be associated with a specific individual. Non-Personal Information includes by way of example but not limitation, the Internet browser or computer operating system you are using, your navigation of the Website including the pages of the Website that you access, the amount of time spent on various portions of the Site, the length and dates of your use of the Site, and certain Website data captured through your interactions with the Site. Non-Personal Information may include information provided by you through the Website or otherwise (e.g., through a third-party website) that is not Personal Information or PHI. Certain Non-Personal Information may be collected on an aggregated, anonymous basis through web server logs, cookies, ad servers, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar Internet tracking devices (collectively “Tracking Mechanisms”). Based on certain interactions with the Website, third-party websites, mailings, other communications with us, and/or our system configurations, certain Non-Personal Information may be associated with your Personal Information such that your Non-Personal Information is identifiable with you. You may be able to opt-out of certain third-party associations by following customization and/or opt-out options as described below.
(b) Cookies (or browser cookies); Flash Cookies; and Web Beacons. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website. Additionally, certain features of our Website may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. For information about managing your privacy and security settings for Flash cookies, see the Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information and Protected Health Information Section within this Privacy Policy. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
(c) IP Addresses, Phone Serial Numbers, Phone Numbers and Aggregate Data. Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, phone serial numbers and phone numbers are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number used by computers on the network to identify your specific computer device. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data (“Traffic Data”) so that certain information (such as the web pages you request) may be sent to you. We may combine, separate, aggregate, or otherwise parse and process Non-Personal Information. The parsing and processing of such information may generate Aggregate Data (“Aggregate Data”). Aggregate Data is summary level data, such as a number of Website visitors in a specific geographic area. Aggregate Data does not contain information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address, and does not reflect the original form of the Non-Personal Information collected from you.
(d) Referer. A “Referer” is the information transmitted by a web browser or application that references the Web URL you linked from, and is automatically collected by our web server as Traffic Data. We reserve the right to use this information to identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally identified from this information.
(e) System Information. System information that we collect as part of Traffic Data includes time, the type of web browser or phone being used, the operating system/platform, phone network and CPU Speed (“System Information”). System Information is sent automatically by your web browser when you are connected to a website or mobile application. We reserve the right to use System Information for purposes of identifying broad demographic trends. System Information may also be used to provide information appropriate for your specific computer device. You will not be personally identified from this information.

We may embed tracking pixels within various pages of the Website to enable use of Site analytics.
