The term Personal Information also covers certain categories of "sensitive" or "special" Personal Information that often receive additional protections and/or are subject to additional restrictions under applicable laws.

The Personal Information that we may collect about you varies depending on the context of our interactions with you. Personal Information collected from or about you falls into the following categories:

We may also collect such information in relation to monitoring potential malicious code on our systems, such as through the collection of metadata and traffic data, or portions or hashes (a file that has been converted into a numerical string by a mathematical algorithm) of any of the information listed here.  For more information relating to the use of such tools, review our “Cookies” section.

Geolocation information: We may collect information about the location from which you are accessing our mobile applications. For more information relating to the use of such tools, review our “Cookies” section.

Inferences: We may develop inferences about you using the data set forth above.

Sensitive personal information: Of the information listed above, geolocation, your Social Security or Driver’s License number, or your login and password information for certain Services, may also qualify as sensitive Personal Information.

The provision of the sensitive Personal Information listed above is voluntary. In certain instances, we will not be able to process your request for our Services without the requested sensitive Personal Information.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you are located, you may have additional rights, as detailed below.

• The right to access: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Information concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the Personal Information. This access to information includes the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Information concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the Personal Information has been or will be disclosed, among other categories of information. However, this is not an absolute right and the interests of other individuals may restrict your right of access. You may have the right to obtain a copy of the Personal Information, subject to certain restrictions.
• The right to correction: You may have the right to request that we correct any Personal Information about you that is inaccurate. Depending on the purpose of the processing, you also have the right to request that we complete the Personal Information we hold about you where you believe it is incomplete, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
  • After completing the sign in process, website users have the option to change their password, email address, and security question and response. If the website user forgets or misplaces their password, Humana Military will use the security question and response to identify the website user and grant access to the website. To change Personal Information, registered members and patients must contact the appropriate Humana Military Customer Care representative listed on the contact us page.
• The right to deletion: You may have the right to request that we erase your Personal Information, under certain conditions. However, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on the website. In addition, it may be impossible or disproportionately burdensome to completely delete your information.
• The right to restrict processing: You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information, under certain conditions. In such case, the data will be marked and may only be processed by us for certain purposes.
• The right to data portability: You may have the right to request that we transfer the Personal Information we have collected about you to another organization, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions.
• Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information: We will only use sensitive or special Personal Information as needed for the purposes for which it was collected.  If this changes, we will notify you, and you may have the right to restrict such additional uses.

We do not discriminate against individuals for the exercise of any of their rights described in this Privacy Policy. However, Humana Military may require the use of your Personal Information to provide access to the Services. Therefore, when you exercise your deletion right, in particular, as well as other rights, you may lose access to certain aspects of the Services that require your Personal Information.

Exercising your rights

To exercise your rights, or appeal a decision we have made regarding your rights, please contact us as stated in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy.

If you choose to assert any of these rights under applicable law, we will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the rights listed in the “Your Rights” section are subject to exceptions and limitations. Further, we may request additional information to respond to or fulfill any requests regarding your rights under applicable laws or regulations. Your rights and our responses will vary based on your country or territory of residency.

In certain jurisdictions, a person authorized to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. If you designate an authorized person to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided the authorized agent with such permission.

Your verifiable request must: (i) provide sufficient information (e.g., name, address, phone number, and/or email address) that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Prior to complying with your request, we will need to verify your identity. Our verification procedure may differ depending on whether you have a registered account, the sensitivity of the Personal Information, and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized disclosure or deletion as applicable. You may also be asked to submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury stating that you are the individual whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

 

Internal security procedures

No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we use government-required standards to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Only authorized persons are permitted to access your Personal Information. All authorized persons must abide by security, privacy, and confidentiality agreements.

To the extent the Humana Military website contains links to third party sites, Humana Military is not responsible for linked pages. Humana Military may not have control over third-party partners' use of your information. Please consult each site’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.

 

Children’s privacy

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information about persons under 13 years of age. Users under the age of 13 should not submit any Personal Information to us. If you believe we have collected Personal Information from your child in error or have questions or concerns about our practices relating to children, please notify us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below. We will take prompt steps to remove the Personal Information from our systems.
