CompEraser Privacy Policy
Fundamental to the design of CompEraser's on-line services is our commitment to
protecting at all times the privacy and security of your company's claim information.
Being an internet-based system, the threat to your Privacy comes from the following
sources, all of which are addressed in detail below:
- Security of the CompEraser itself from intrusion by unauthorized individuals
- Release of confidential and private employee information to users within your
company
- Release of confidential and private employee information to authorized third party
users
- Release of confidential and private employee information to the staff at CompEraser
- The sale or distribution in any for of any data provided by you by CompEraser
- The sale or distribution of email addresses or other address information
Security
CompEraser utilizes Secure Socket Layer technology to protect all data. Only authorized
users are allowed access to the Member-Only website through the use of a Company
Code, User ID and Password. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol for encrypting
and decrypting data across a secure connection from a client to a server with SSL
capabilities. The server is responsible for sending the client a certificate and
a public key for encryption. If the client trusts the server's certificate, an SSL
connection can be established. All data passing from one side to the other will
be encrypted. Only the client and the server will be able to decrypt the data.
A
secure page is indicated with a yellow lock symbol at the bottom-right side of each
window. Also, you can right mouse click on a page and select 'Properties' and select
the Certificates button to verify that SSL encryption is being used.
Protection
Of Confidential And Private Employee Information - Users Within Your Company
CompEraser
has been designed so that the medical information of each injured employee kept
strictly confidential. The System Administrator for each employer totally controls
the access privileges by all authorized users. You will be provided a unique Company
Code, User ID and Password that allows only individuals you specify to see complete
claim details. You also can permit either partial of full view of the worker injury
information. In the partial view the name, social security number, address and other
information that would identify the injured employee are hidden from view. You maintain
total control over the access to your claim data at all times.
Protection Of Confidential
And Private Employee Information - Authorized Third Parties
At your discretion CompEraser
also allows for your third party administrator or Consultant to have access to reports
and other financial data that will be useful in providing cost reduction advice
and service. To maintain the privacy of your information and to guarantee your control
over the data, your Consultant must obtain your permission in writing. CompEraser
has built into its administrative function a formal request procedure. Your Consultant
must request your permission, and obtain approval, before they can access your information.
You can refuse access privileges at any time. You also can limit their access to
"View Only" or permission to up-date specified areas of your records. Again, privacy
of employee injury information is protected.
Protection Of Confidential And Private
Employee Information - CompEraser Staff
The risk management staff at CompEraser
will function in a manner identical to that of an authorized Third Party Consultant.
While CompEraser needs to access your data in order to assist you, we will only
do so with your written permission. Therefore, as part of our initial set-up procedure
we will make a formal request to you to be granted full access to your data. This
access will be used for support purposes only.
Sale Or Distribution Of Your Data
CompEraser will not sell, distribute, or disclose any claim information, whole or
in part, to third parties for whatever reason - period.
Sale Or Distribution Of
Email Addresses
CompEraser, as part of its service commitment, will provide a monthly
email newsletter to specified employees of your company. This newsletter is issued
by permission only. Your email address will be kept strictly confidential and will
not be sold, distributed or disclosed to third parties for whatever reason. Also,
you have the option to unsubscribe to this newsletter at any time.
