Your Personal Information Is Secure |
|
To make sure all the information you submit online stays private, the Humana Military Web site became certified to display the TRUSTe Privacy Seal on Jan. 17. TRUSTe, the leading privacy certification and seal program, awards its privacy seal to companies completing its certification process.
The TRUSTe Privacy Seal signifies a Web site has posted a privacy statement and its information-gathering and dissemination practices address the elements of notice, choice, access and security in the Federal Trade Commission’s Fair Information Practices. TRUSTe members agree to:
|
|
|
- Disclose their information gathering and dissemination practices
- Give consumers a choice in limiting any secondary uses of their personal information through opt-in or opt-out
- Provide consumers with access to their personal information to correct any inaccuracies
- Ensure reasonable security mechanisms are being used to protect the data that’s collected

“We are pleased to join TRUSTe in providing fair information practices online,” said David J. Baker, CEO of Humana Military. “TRUSTe certification serves as a benchmark in our ongoing commitment to safeguard our armed forces’ privacy and security.” |
