The Bennie Platform also allows a company’s employees to access their benefits enrollments, account balances and usage for various employment benefits, and facilitates communication between a company’s employees and the Bennie service team via phone or encrypted in-app messaging. The Bennie Brokerage service allows Bennie to offer benefits consulting and advisory services to companies and their human resources teams. This Privacy Policy applies to the Website, the App, and all of the products, services, and websites, including any related software, domains, subdomains, content, and versions and upgrades thereto, offered by Bennie or our related, affiliated and/or subsidiary companies (collectively the “Services”).

Some of the Personal Information received by Bennie in connection with the Services may be provided by employers in their capacity as a self-insured health plan entity that is subject to laws and regulations, such as rules issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, including implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), that govern the use and disclosure of certain individually identifiable Personal Information processed by health care providers, health insurers, business associates and other covered entities as defined in HIPAA (“Protected Health Information”). When we receive Protected Health Information, we may do so as a “Business Associate” of the employer under an agreement that, among other things, prohibits us from using or disclosing the Protected Health Information in ways that are not permissible by the employer itself, and requires us to implement certain measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Protected Health Information. When we act as a Business Associate, we may be subject to certain laws and regulations, including HIPAA, that govern our use and disclosure of Protected Health Information and that may be more restrictive than otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. For more information about how we comply with HIPAA, please contact askbennie@bennie.com.

Prospective Customers: We collect names, email addresses, other personal information, and business contact information about individuals who we consider to be prospective customers and business partners (“Prospects”).

If you provide your telephone number, you acknowledge and agree that we may contact you, including but not limited to for promotional, informational, and other purposes, and push notifications (if applicable).

We use this information to comply with legal obligations relating to such data and to keep a record of such changes. We may also use it to improve our Services.

We may link this automatically collected data to Personal Information. Device identifiers may be tied to Personal Information to troubleshoot access issues.

We may also use other third-party tracking services that use log files, cookies, and possibly other techniques to track non-Personal Information about visitors to the Services in the aggregate. These services capture usage and volume statistics as well as geographical location data to compile usage reports and maps for optimization and troubleshooting purposes.

We do not assume liability for the policies or procedures of third parties. While we make diligent efforts to maintain the accuracy of the information provided above and update it as necessary, it is provided as a courtesy and may not always reflect the most current or precise details. We recommend that you reach out to the relevant third parties directly for inquiries pertaining to their privacy and data security policies and practices.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone.

Service Providers and Business Partners: We may from time to time employ third parties to perform tasks on our behalf and we may need to disclose Account Information and other Personal Information to them to provide certain services, including third party providers of voluntary insurance policies, products, and services. Unless we tell you differently, such third parties do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary for them to provide the tasks and services on our behalf. These third parties may also be required to comply with the restrictions set forth under HIPAA. We currently engage third party companies and individuals employed by us to facilitate our Services, including the provision of maintenance services, database management, Web analytics and general improvement of the Services, and businesses who engage our Services (to the extent provided for above).

Business Transfers: If our business (or substantially all of our assets or stock) are acquired by a third party, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information may be made available or otherwise transferred to the new controlling entity, where permitted under applicable law.

With Your Consent: If we need to use or disclose any Personal Information including Protected Health Information in a way not identified in this Privacy Policy, we will notify you and/or obtain consent as required under applicable privacy laws.

As Required by Law: We may disclose Personal Information to third parties without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other end users, or anyone else (including the rights or property of anyone else) that could be harmed by such activities. Further, we may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law. We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to: (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce our contracts or user agreement, including investigation of potential violations hereof; and (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. We may disclose Personal Information if we believe it is necessary to investigate potential violations of our Terms of Service, or to enforce those Terms of Service. The above may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and spam/malware prevention. Notwithstanding the general terms of this policy, the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information may be made outside of the terms herein to the extent provided for in any applicable privacy or other legislation in effect from time to time, or pursuant to court orders.

RETENTION

We will keep Personal Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. We may retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Terms of Service or a separate agreement with you governing the applicable Services, if you cease using such Services, we may retain or destroy, at our discretion, all Personal Information and non-personally identifiable information we collect through your use of such Services. All retained Personal Information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

ACCESS, CORRECTION AND ACCURACY OF PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

You have the right to access the Protected Health Information we hold about you in order to verify the Protected Health Information we have collected about you and to have a general account of our uses of that information. Upon receipt of your written request, we will provide you with a copy of your Protected Health Information, although in certain limited circumstances, and as permitted under law, we may not be able to make all relevant information available to you, such as where that information also pertains to another user. In such circumstances we will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavor to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

We will strive to keep Protected Health Information accurate and up to date, and we will provide mechanisms to update, correct, delete or add to Protected Health Information as appropriate. As appropriate, this amended Protected Health Information will be transmitted to those parties to which we are permitted to disclose your information. Having accurate Protected Health Information about you enables us to give you the best possible service. In the event Protected Health Information relates to an employer’s employee, and we are providing services as a Business Associate, the terms of the Business Associate Agreement will dictate the manner in which we update, correct, or remove Protected Health Information. In the event there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Business Associate Agreement, the Business Associate Agreement will control.
