How we use cookies

When you access our website, we may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer.

We send a “session cookie” to your computer when you sign in to your account or otherwise use MassMEDIC Services. This type of cookie helps us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages on our site during the same session, so that we don’t need to ask you for your password on each page. Once you sign out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer has any effect.

We also use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to remember your account information, so that you don’t need to re-enter information each time you sign in to your account. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website.

How we protect and store personal information

Throughout this policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not identify a specific user.

We store and process your personal information on our computers in the US, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
