Appleton Dental Plan takes
maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information seriously.
The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination
practices for this Web site.
Appleton Dental Plan
respects your privacy. All information is held to the highest degree
of confidentiality. We want your dealings with us to be as private,
easy, and secure as possible. We do not sell, rent, or loan any
personally identifiable information regarding our customers to any third
party. We may use and share information with those persons
specifically involved in the processing of your application and we may use
and share aggregated information when it enables us to improve and enrich
our product and content offering. Any personally identifiable
information you give us is held with the utmost care and security both
online and off-line.
Personally Identifiable
Account Information
In order to process your
application, our site provides you the option to use an online application
form. We collect your contact information, financial information, and
demographic information to process your application. This information
is required to process an application form. The financial information
will be used to bill you after you have been approved as a member.
Your contact and demographic
information may also be used by an Appleton Dental Plan employee to get in
touch with you when necessary to process your application. Email may
be sent to you to inform you of the status of your application or to request
additional information that is required as part of the application process.
IP Address
Appleton Dental Plan logs IP
addresses for systems administration purposes. IP addresses are NOT
used to track a user's session. It only helps us determine how often
the areas of our site are visited. We do not link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable.
Cookies
Appleton Dental Plan may
place cookies on a user’s hard drive. A cookie is a small data file
sent from our server and placed on a personal computer. It contains
information about a visit that can only be read by our server. This
information may assist a user on a return visit to the Appleton Dental Plan
website. Users may stop the cookies by changing a setting on their
browser.
Security
Maintaining your financial
and personal information in a secure manner is among the highest priorities
of Appleton Dental Plan. We want you to know that safeguards described
below are in place, both online and off-line, to attempt to prevent any
unauthorized parties from reading any information that you send us.
We limit access to personal
information about you to employees and agents who we believe reasonably need
to come into contact with that information to provide products or services
to you related to the Appleton Dental Plan.
This site has security
measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration
of the information under our control. Appleton Dental Plan uses
industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers, to safeguard the
confidentiality of your personal information. In certain areas, the
information passed between your browser and our system is encrypted with SSL
to create a protected connection between you and our site to ensure
confidentiality. All personally identifiable information collected in
connection with the services on our site is securely stored on our system.
It is the same secure technology used by thousands of the most popular
websites on the Internet. However, "perfect security" does not exist
on the Internet and therefore Appleton Dental Plan cannot guarantee “perfect
security”.

As part of our service, we
provide links to websites over which we exercise no control. Appleton
Dental Plan is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
such websites. You are encouraged to read the privacy statements of
these linked sites as their privacy policy may differ from ours.
Please make note that when you click on one of these links you will be
directed to another website.
Email Communications
Choice/Opt-Out
Appleton Dental Plan
provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving promotional
communications from us. To discontinue your receipt of such
promotional communications, simply reply to the email you receive with the
word "remove" in the subject line. For membership management purposes,
Appleton Dental Plan may occasionally deem it necessary to send members a
non-promotional service email concerning their account.
