This privacy policy covers how PMS Insight LLC (“PMS”, We”, “Us”, or “Our”) treats personal information that PMS collects and receives through the websites www.eClaimStatus.com / www.rcm-eClaimStatus.com. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information. Personal information is about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address or phone number.
This Website is offered and available to users who are 18 years old or older. By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company. If you are not 18 years old or older, you must not access or use the Website.
Information collection and how it is used General Information
You do not have to give us any personal information to visit the product information portion of our web site. No personally identifying information (such as your name, e-mail address or Social Security number) will be collected unless you choose to provide that information to us.
PMS collects personal information when you sign up for a trial or paid subscription to the PMS Service. When you sign up, we ask for your name, email address, phone number and your company’s demographic and financial information such as credit card information.
When you sign up for a paid subscription, we will ask you to enter your credit card or ACH information. This information is encrypted on computer systems that are secured in a locked cage at a data center co-location facility rented by PMS.
PMS automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address and the page you request.
PMS uses information for the following general purposes: products and services provision, billing, identification and authentication, services improvement, contact, research, and anonymous reporting.
PMS will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.
IP Addresses
IP Addresses are automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page or use our Service. Your IP address is not permanently stored in a way that is identified with your personal information.
IP addresses may be used for various purposes, including:
ü To diagnose or service technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP.
ü To estimate the total number of users visiting PMS from specific geographical regions.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. We do link the information we store in cookies to personal information you submit while on our web site. PMS uses both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. A session ID cookie will get removed automatically when you close your web browser. We may use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our web site. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We may also set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once if you so choose. We have cookies on our site but the data is only collected in the aggregate. We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies and other tracking technologies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our web site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited.

PMS may be required to disclose personally identifiable information or protected health information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the PMS Terms of Service.
PMS may share demographic information with business partners, such as “7% of PMS customers are in the Los Angeles region” or the like. No personally identifiable information or protected health information will ever be used without your permission (i.e., we will ask you before using a quote or testimonial).

We will transfer information about you if PMS is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, PMS will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on our web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We use a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services, an email service provider to send out emails on our behalf.
