Provider's Request for Covered Person Eligibility: Within the registered provider area of the Site, providers can request covered person eligibility from us which lets a provider know whether or not a covered person is eligible for vision services. During this process, we collect covered person's name, primary subscriber (if covered person is a dependent), and an individually identifiable number assigned to each covered person (i.e. social security or other number) in order to verify a covered person's eligibility.

COOKIES

We use Cookies to enhance the user experience, support login functionality, deliver personalized content, and collect information about the use of the Site. "Cookies" are small computer files that we transfer to the Users’ computer hard drives. Cookies allow us to statistically monitor how many people are using the Site and for what purposes, how often someone visits the Site, and the length of their stay. This information helps us dynamically generate advertising and information specifically designed for the Users’ interests. We also use Cookies to prevent Users from having to re-enter their identification and password information each time the Users visit our Site. Cookies are not designed to retrieve personal or business data from their hard drive, email, or any other personal information. Most browsers are initially set to accept Cookies, but Users can change the setting to refuse Cookies or to be alerted when Cookies are being sent. Although refusal of Cookies will not interfere with the ability to interact with most of the Site, Users will need to accept Cookies in order to access information and use certain functions. For example, Cookies are required to be accepted for access to our web-based services or desktop products with online features. The Cookies are renewed each time a user logs on to one of the sites that uses Cookies.

Although the majority of the online advertisements on the Site is displayed by MESVision, we also from time to time allow third-party vendors, such as Google, to display advertisements on the Site. These third-party vendors may assign a different cookie to the Users. These cookies may be used to select which ads Users see on the Site and determine the effectiveness of this advertising. Users may choose to decline cookies from third-party ad servers, which we do not control. If the Users would like to opt out from receiving these third-party targeted advertisements, Users may read the instructions for more information.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

We want the Users' Business Information to remain as secure as reasonably possible. We combine industry-standard technical safeguards with training for those employees who are permitted to access our customers' Business Information. When Users purchase a product or service online, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to encrypt their information before it is sent to us in order to ensure the integrity and privacy of the information that the Users provide to us via the Internet.

Many of our web-based services are hosted on servers that are co-located at a third-party facility with whom we have a contract providing for security measures. For example, hosted services data is submitted via SSL and TLS encryption and stored on a server equipped with industry standard firewalls.

Hosted data may include personally identifiable information and other information that belongs to our customers' own customers, website visitors, or other users. We will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such customer data except as provided in the service, or as may be required by law. Individual records of customer data may be viewed or accessed by authorized MESVision employees, or independent contractors only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support and service for the plan, or suspected violation of the service or license agreement, or as may be required by law. MESVision policy requires that both employees and consultants execute a confidentiality agreement before working for and with MESVision. Those employees that violate our Privacy Policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Despite these security measures, we do not represent or warrant that Business Information will be protected against loss, misuse, attacks, or alteration by third parties. Customers are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of their usernames and passwords.

Passwords: This Site utilizes passwords from benefit administrators to allow only authorized User access to benefit administration functions. The benefit administrator is the person at the covered person’s company who will be managing the company’s account. This Site also utilizes passwords from other Users to access various Site functions.

Security: Data flowing to and from this Site is protected by encrypted digital certificates secured using TLS protocol.
