Internet Privacy Policy
CareFirst Holdings, LLC and its affiliated companies (CareFirst) have policies and procedures to protect the confidentiality of customer and partner information. Below are general guidelines for how we handle your information. It is important to note that all records containing confidential data are handled and discarded in a way that is designed to protect the privacy and security of the information.
How We Secure Your Personal Information
CareFirst respects the need for security regarding your personal information. Whenever you provide personal information, your information will be protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is an industry standard that encrypts the information you provide, to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than CareFirst. This technology, however, does not absolutely guarantee the total privacy of information that has been provided to this site.
Information you submit directly to us will remain on our servers or those of our affiliates, secured by various industry approved technologies to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information.
