This Site is a product of, and provided by, INTEGRATED SERVICES INCORPORATED
("ISI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaii Medical Service Association
("HMSA"), and its affiliated company the Hawaii Family Medical Centers ("HFMC").
All use of the Site is subject to the
Conditions of Use
and this Privacy Statement. ISI may only
use the information that you provide through this site for purposes permitted or
required by law, and as described in this Privacy Statement.
To address privacy concerns you may have
while visiting our interactive, customized Site, this Privacy Statement
describes how ISI may use information that you provide. If you do not wish ISI
to use information that you provide through this Site as described in this
Privacy Statement, you should disconnect from this Site.
Please note that this Privacy Statement
applies only to how ISI uses individually identifiable personal information
that you provide when visiting this Site. "Online personal information" is any
information or data you provide through this Site that is individually
identifiable, such as a name, subscriber number, address, email address, and
birth date. ISI routinely gathers quantitative information on Web site activity,
including the number of users to this Site and the pages visited.
When you communicate with us via our
Site, we collect personal information about you only if you provide it to us
voluntarily. "Online personal information" may or may not be individually
identifiable health information that is also protected by the HIPAA Privacy
Rule. (the "HIPAA Privacy Rule" is a federal regulation officially known as the
"Standards for the Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health
Information").Where online personal information also constitutes individually
identifiable health information under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the provisions of
the HIPAA Privacy Rule also will govern ISI's permitted uses and disclosures of
the online personal information.
Portions of our Site may allow you to
provide us with online personal information in order to deliver requested
materials, products or services to you. The ISI Corporate site is not equipped
to do this. There are no ISI health
plans.
ISI does not sell, license or disclose
online personal information that you provide to us outside of ISI, its
contracted agents (e.g., business associates) and affiliated companies.
As permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule,
individually identifiable health information that you provide through this Site
or that ISI creates or receives about you may be used or disclosed by ISI in
connection with services provided to you by ISI, and for other purposes that are
permitted or required by law. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule this information is
called "protected health information." Protected health information is
individually identifiable health information, including demographic information,
collected from you or created or received by a health care provider, a health
plan, or a health care clearinghouse and relates to: (i) your past, present or
future physical or mental health or condition; (ii) the provision of health care
to you; or (iii) the past, present or future payment for the provision of health
care to you. We refer to protected health information and individually
identifiable health information interchangeably in this Privacy Statement.
ISI does not direct this Site to
children under the age of 18 years, or knowingly collect information from
children under 18. Adults should not assist minors in accessing the Site, and no
person under 18 years old is permitted to use the Site. When users enter
personal information on our Site, the user is representing to us that he/she is
an adult, 18 years or older. We would be pleased to work with parent and
guardians to delete from our records personal information a child may improperly
disclose. Please contact us at
webmaster@isi-hawaii.com.
At ISI, we are committed to protecting
the privacy of your individually identifiable health information (including any
online personal information that also constitutes individually identifiable
health information) as follows:
1. ISI does not sell, transfer or disclose individually identifiable health information
without your prior authorization, except when permitted or required by law. As
used in this Privacy Statement, "required by law" includes the permissive and
mandatory requirements of state and federal regulations that govern the use and
disclosure of individually identifiable information, such as the federal
regulation known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
a. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, ISI is permitted to disclose individually identifiable
health information to our contracted agents- business associates- who perform
various functions or provide services on ISI's behalf. To perform these
functions or to provide services, business associates will receive, create,
maintain, use, or disclose protected health information, but only after we
require the business associates to agree in writing to contract terms designed
to safeguard your information.
b.ISI is also permitted to use and disclose individually identifiable health information to
support the services ISI provides through this Site, and to support the business
functions provided by ISI. These services and functions may include:

purposes of tailoring our Site to meet our customers' needs and interests.
Distribution and use of this aggregated, anonymous information will be
restricted to staff, management, agents and business associates of ISI who need
aggregated statistical information about our users as a group, as well as the
patterns of their Site usage.
4. ISI also may use your online personal information on an aggregated basis to provide our
editors with information that is useful in developing new features and content
for the Site, and to provide our agents/business associates, affiliated
companies, or any others permitted by law to receive aggregated data,
information about our users and the usage patterns of the Site.

basis in order to measure interest in, and use of, the various areas of the

others permitted by law to receive such information.
6. ISI may use Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") or other encryption technology to enhance
data
privacy and help prevent loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our
control. This encryption technology, however, does not absolutely guarantee or
safeguard the total privacy of user information that has been voluntarily
disclosed to the Site.
