MultiPlan publishes a searchable provider directory and information about our company to the general public. We also host several access-restricted portals for specific user groups. These two types of visitors to MultiPlan websites may expect different collection, processing, and use of their personal data.
Public-Facing Websites: When you visit our website for informational reasons without setting up an account, only limited personal data will be collected and/or processed to provide you with access to the website itself. For example:
Such information is necessary for us to administer the website, and we use this data only to assist us in providing an effective service (e.g. to ensure our content is accessible on your device), and to collect broad demographic information for anonymized, aggregated use.
You may also choose to supply your contact information, for example, to subscribe to a newsletter, or to request additional information via the web form on the Contact Us page. This information will be used to communicate with you as needed, and will not be shared with any third party.

Registration for these portals may require us to collect:
This information is necessary for us to provide you secure, authenticated access to our portals, to administer the website, to communicate with you as needed, and to fulfill our contractual obligations.
Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on this website. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

For all visitors to our website, we deposit and track cookies. Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier for each visitor. Our website is then able to recognize repeat users and track usage patterns to better serve visitors when they return to that website.

C. Data Security and Retention
We have implemented appropriate safeguards to secure your personal data, and only authorized personnel have access to personal data. Our security program and its related policies are regularly reviewed. We cannot guarantee the security of information submitted while it is in transit, however, and the submission of personal data is at your own risk.
The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
We will retain data about you only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it. If applicable regulatory or contractual retention timelines apply, we will retain your personal data as required.
