Mybenefitshighway.com is owned and operated by Caremark Inc. (“Caremark”). The majority of the Mybenefitshighway.com web site is accessible only to registered users. To become a registered user, you must be employed by a company who has hired Caremark to provide you with online prescription services. Your employer or Caremark will provide you with the information you need in order to complete the registration process. There are several areas at Mybenefitshighway.com that are open to the general public, however these areas of the site may provide additional information or services for registered users.

We have provided this notice to describe the online information collection and use practices at Mybenefitshighway.com. This document describes the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. This privacy policy applies only to the information collected on Mybenefitshighway.com, and does not apply to any other information that Caremark collects about you on other Caremark owned, operated, or sponsored web sites, or in other forums, including in e-mail correspondences or over the telephone. This policy does not apply to the “Client Services” section of Mybenefitshighway.com, which is available only to Mybenefitshighway.com clients, and is governed by separate agreements in place between Caremark and its clients.

In some circumstances, Caremark’s use of your information will also be subject to the requirements of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (frequently referred to as “HIPAA”). For example, when you are submitting information for prescription refills we are subject to the requirements of HIPAA. In those circumstances, the terms of Caremark’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices will apply. If you have questions about which policy applies to information you have submitted, please do not hesitate to contact us (for contact information, please go to the “Contacting Caremark and Options” section of this policy).

From time to time, our internal processes may change, or we may offer new features at Mybenefitshighway.com. If appropriate, we will revise this privacy policy. We encourage you to return to this area to read the most recent version of the privacy policy. The information we provide you on Mybenefitshighway.com will be treated in accordance with the privacy policy in effect as of the date you provide information to us. If we alter our practices in a manner that will affect the treatment of information that you have already provided to us, we will send you a notice of our new practices. If you do not agree with the privacy practices described in this policy, you should not provide us with information. This version of the privacy policy is effective as of January 3, 2004.

Information Collection

Caremark collects personally identifiable information at Mybenefitshighway.com from web visitors who are interested in receiving services it offers, such as prescription benefit, disease management and specialty pharmacy services, e-mail alerts, newsletters, and event notifications. Caremark also collects additional information from registered users, such as shipping address, billing address, credit card number and other information necessary to process your request. In order to provide you with online pharmacy services, Caremark receives certain personally identifiable information about registered users from the user’s employer. If you have questions about the information your employer may have shared with us, please contact your employer’s human resources department.

Caremark works with third-party providers to provide specific services offered on Mybenefitshighway.com, and may collect personal information as part of the provision of those services. For example, BrassRing operates the “Careers at Caremark” feature at the “About Caremark” area of our site, Yesmail sends several of our email alerts, and Shareholder.com operates the “Investor Relations” feature at the “About Caremark” area of our site.

For example, to fulfill your order or contact you with information about your order, to send you email alerts, to send you documents you request, to send you newsletters, or to process your online job application.

We may provide you with these materials by phone, mail, facsimile, or e-mail. We may also share your information with our subsidiaries, affiliates, or business partners.

We will disclose your personal information if, in good faith, we believe we are required by law to do so, including but not limited to disclosure to law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. We may also disclose your information in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event.
