This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our Site (as such term is used and defined in the Terms of Use). By using the Site, you accept and agree to the practices this Privacy Policy describes.

OneBridge Benefits (referred to collectively herein as "we" or "our") owns and operates the Site and any derivative website on which the Terms of Use for the Site are posted.

OneBridge takes your privacy seriously. Because we value our relationships with plan sponsors, participating employers, and participants, we do not sell your information. We will share your information only in compliance with the law and for the purposes of (1) providing services that plan sponsors, participating employers, or plan participants have engaged us to perform on your or their behalf, (2) offering you other services that are related to the services you engage us to perform on your behalf in connection with the Plan, (3) responding to inquiries about our services made through the website or Site, and (3) as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Confidentiality Practices

Generally, we support the concept of non-disclosure of your Confidential Information. We also hold business associates, service providers, vendors and/or our affiliates to similar confidentiality standards. Your Confidential Information may only be used and disclosed in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations, contractual obligations, and the Plan's underlying policies and procedures.

Protected Health Information and Nonpublic Personal Financial Information may be used and disclosed solely for the Plan's and our business activities and health care operations related to the administration of the Plan, including for the purpose of (1) providing services that plan sponsors, participating employers or plan participants have engaged us to perform on your or their behalf, (2) offering you other services that are related to the services you engage us to perform on your behalf in connection with the Plan, (3) contacting you or offering services to you in response to information you have provided to us through the site for that purpose, and (4) as otherwise permitted or required by law.
