Internet Protocol Addresses

You should also be aware that when you visit our Sites, Molina Healthcare may collect certain information that does not identify you personally, but provides us with "usage data," such as the number of visitors we receive or what pages are visited most often. This data helps us to analyze and improve the usefulness of the information we provide on these websites.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Like most commercial website owners, we may also use what is known as "cookie" technology. A "cookie" is an element of data that a website can send to your browser when you link to that website. It is not a computer program and has no ability to read data residing on your computer or instruct it to perform any step or function. By assigning a unique data element to each visitor, the website is able to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns and better serve you when you return to that site. The cookie does not extract other information about you, such as your name or address. Most browsers provide a simple procedure that will enable you to control whether you want to receive cookies by notifying you when a website is about to deposit a cookie file.

On some pages of the Sites there may also be use of action tags, sometimes referred to as web beacons or 1x1 pixel graphics interchange format ("GIF") images. Such tags are used to monitor and assess the effectiveness of promotions and marketing. These tags work in combination with cookies, but do not collect or contain any personal information. Molina Healthcare may use pixels or other online tracking technologies to collect personal information about visitors on certain Sites. This information may include demographic or technical information, and/or web browser data, such as your IP address and browsing behavior. We may also use your information in order to provide information or advertising to those visitors about certain Molina Healthcare services, benefits plans, and/or provider networks.

Links on the Sites

The Sites may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that Molina Healthcare is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. When you connect to a website that is linked to our Sites, we encourage you to read the privacy statements of that website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Sites.

Response to “Do Not Track” Signals

Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not yet been adopted, Molina Healthcare does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Children's Privacy Protection

Under Age 13

The Sites are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children under 13 years of age. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13 who is not a member of Molina Healthcare plan. No one under the age of 13 should submit any personal information to Molina Healthcare or the Sites.

Under Age 18

Minors under 18 years of age who are not members of a Molina Healthcare plan may have the personal information that they have provided to Molina Healthcare through the Sites deleted by sending an email to CPO.Office@MolinaHealthcare.com requesting deletion. Please note that, while we make reasonable efforts to comply with such requests, deletion of your personal information does not ensure complete and comprehensive removal of that data from all systems.

Data Retention

Molina Healthcare retains personal information of visitors to the Sites to the extent required by applicable law, government contracts and in accordance with its data retention and destruction policy. We securely destroy such personal information when applicable retention periods have expired.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time as we add new features and services, as laws change, and as industry privacy and security best practices evolve. We display an effective date on the policy in the bottom left corner of this Privacy Policy, following the Terms & Conditions of Use,  so that it will be easier for you to know when there has been a change. If we make any change to this Privacy Policy regarding use or disclosure of personal information, we will provide advance notice on the Sites. Small changes or changes that do not significantly affect individual privacy interests may be made at any time and without prior notice.

Online Security

Molina Healthcare uses reasonable and appropriate security measures to safeguard the information that has been collected from you via the public Sites or Secure Services. Among the measures that Molina Healthcare has implemented for its websites and mobile applications are administrative, physical and technical safeguards. However, you should know that no website operator, including Molina Healthcare, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. While Molina Healthcare has endeavored to create secure and reliable Sites for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Sites or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.
