PRIVACY & SECURITY POLICIES
FAMILY MEDICARE SOLUTIONS (FMS) DOES NOT COLLECT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN YOU VISIT THIS SITE UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO PROVIDE IT.
INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED & STORED
During your visit to the Family Medicare Solutions website, we may store some or all of the following information: the internet address from which you accessed the site, the date and time of your visit, the internet address of the website that referred you to our site, the keywords or file names you searched for, the links you clicked on, and the browser and operating system you used.
This information is used to measure the number of users accessing different sections of our website and to identify system performance or issues that need to be addressed. We also use this data to expand site coverage, analyze usage patterns, and improve the user experience. However, this information is not used to associate users with specific browsing terms or patterns. Family Medicare Solutions periodically deletes these records.
USE OF PERSISTENT COOKIES
Like many websites, FMS uses persistent cookie technology. A persistent cookie is a small text file that our site uses to collect anonymous demographic information and recognize your browser when you return in the future. These cookies identify a browser but never a person. For example, if a user visits the site using both Chrome and Internet Explorer, two separate cookies will be assigned—one for each browser—meaning the same user will be counted as two different visitors based on browser usage, not the person or device. FMS uses persistent cookies in various ways to enhance your experience while protecting your privacy.
Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies. While we believe cookies improve your experience on our website, Family Medicare Solutions functions without them as well. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can modify your browser settings to block persistent cookies or receive a warning before accepting cookies from websites you visit.
IF YOU PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
FMS does not collect personal information unless it is necessary to respond to a user’s request or inquiry. The only personal information we collect is what you choose to provide when filling out a form on our site, such as your address and phone number. This information is used only to respond to your message and fulfill your request. If you order a publication from our website, we will collect your name and mailing address to send your order. (If you choose to share personal information, please do not include your Social Security number or other sensitive data.)
Additionally, we do not create individual user profiles with the information you provide, nor do we share it with other government agencies or private organizations.
WEBSITE SECURITY
Except for legally authorized law enforcement investigations, we do not attempt to identify users or track their browsing habits. Raw data logs are not used for other purposes and are deleted periodically in compliance with National Archives and Records Administration guidelines.
Unauthorized attempts to upload or modify information on this website are strictly prohibited and may be subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
EXTERNAL LINKS
FMS includes links to many websites maintained by public and private organizations. If you click on an external link (e.g., Facebook, YouTube), you will leave Family Medicare Solutions and be subject to the privacy and security policies of that external site.
SOCIAL MEDIA SITES
While FMS maintains a presence on social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) to share relevant information and connect with the public, we do not collect personally identifiable information through these platforms. Nor do we use the personal data that users have provided to these social media sites.
