We may use cookies to identify and keep track of, among other things, those areas of the Web Properties that you have visited in the past in order to enhance your next visit to the Web Properties, and to improve the Web Properties’ performance and usefulness. You can choose whether or not to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser, but some functionality of the Web Properties may be impaired or not function as intended if you choose not to accept cookies.

In addition to the times or occasions permitted under HIPAA when we might disclose Personal Information about you, we might also disclose Personal Information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: (1) comply with a legal process and applicable laws; (2) enforce this Privacy Policy; (3) respond to claims that any materials, documents, images, graphics, logos, designs, audio, video and any other information provided to, from or on the Web Properties by you violates the rights of third parties; (4) assist government enforcement agencies; (5) investigate and/or protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, property or personal safety of our agents, employees, contractors, visitors and the public; (6) investigate potential unauthorized access or misuse of the Web Properties; or (7) otherwise enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements.

Non-personally identifiable information, in an aggregated, anonymized form, such that you are not individually identified, may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses, as we see fit.
We also reserve the right to disclose Personal Information and/or non-personally-identifiable information in connection with the enforcement of our Terms and Conditions, to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Web Properties, and to protect our rights, property, or personal safety of the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan, and that of our users or others.

You expressly agree and consent to the use and/or transfer of your Personal Information or other information in connection with a sale or transfer of some or all of our assets in any of the above described proceedings. Furthermore, we cannot and will not be responsible for any breach of security by any third parties or for any actions of any third parties that receive any of the information that is disclosed to us.
The Web Properties may also link to a wide variety of other websites and may contain advertisements of third parties. We are not and cannot be responsible for the privacy policies of those websites of third parties or for how they treat information (including, but not limited to personally identifiable information) about their users.
We may disclose your Personal Information and/or Usage Information for any purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information. We may also disclose your Personal Information and/or Usage Information with your permission or as directed by you.
User Account, Password, and Security
For certain features available through the Web Properties, we may require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or User Account. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your username, password and User Account information and to ensure that information collected through the Web Properties is not lost, misused or altered inappropriately by administering security measures.
You are ultimately responsible for protecting your username, password and User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You agree to: (a) immediately notify the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan of any unauthorized use of your username, password and/or User Account, and/or any other breach of security; and (b) ensure that you log out from your User Account at the end of each session. While we may provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that any information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
We maintain reasonable safeguards to keep your Personal Information secure. When we provide Personal Information to our affiliates or third party service providers as discussed in this Privacy Policy, we require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy or in a manner that complies with applicable privacy laws. The use of your information by a trusted business partner may be subject to that party’s own privacy policy.
Employment Opportunity Information Collection
For individuals interested in job opportunities with the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan, the Web Properties currently or may in the future allow you to submit a request for additional job opportunity information and/or submit a resume or similar information. The Web Properties may be used to collect Personal Information from prospective employees for human resources recruitment purposes. The information may then be shared with the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan human resources department and others within the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan who are involved in the recruitment process. By submitting any of this information you consent to our use of the information. This permission also applies to job application inquiries that you may send to us other than through the Web Properties.
Information from Children
We do not collect Personal Information from any person that we know to be under the age of 13 for purposes of the Web Properties. Specifically, the Web Properties are not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age (or such greater age of consent in your state of residence), or are an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in this Privacy Policy, and to abide by and comply with this Privacy Policy. THE WEB PROPERTIES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 WHO ARE UNSUPERVISED BY THEIR PARENT(S) OR LEGAL GUARDIAN(S).
Parents and legal guardians should be aware that this Privacy Policy will govern our use of Personal Information, but also that information that is voluntarily given by children – or others – in email exchanges, forums, discussion areas, comments, bulletin boards or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited communications. The SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan encourages all parents and legal guardians to instruct their children in the safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet.
The SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan do collect Personal Information about children in connection with administering and operating the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan pension and health plans, and nothing herein shall limit or otherwise restrict the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan ability or practices with respect to such collection about children. We do not engage in any marketing activities to your child through the Web Properties. To be clear, we treat privacy as a top priority, especially any information about your child.
Privacy Outside the Web Properties
The Web Properties may now or in the future contain various links to other websites, including, but not limited to, links to websites of various third party service providers. SAG-AFTRA Health and SAG-Producers Pension Plan are not and cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of those other websites. Other than under agreements with certain reputable organizations and companies that are Business Associates under HIPAA, we do not share any of the Personal Information that you provide to us with any of the websites to which the Web Properties link, although we may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information, such that you are not individually identified, with those other third parties. Please check with those websites in order to determine their privacy policies and your rights under them.
European Union Users
The Web Properties and our products and services are hosted in the United States and are governed by United States law. As some of the SAG-AFTRA Health and SAG-Producers Pension Plan participants are located in countries subject to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which took effect on May 25, 2018, we are providing this GDPR Notice. The purpose of this Notice is to make clear that while our operations are not necessarily subject to GDPR compliance, the Plans are nonetheless issuing this GDPR Notice to explain the handling of the personal data of those who reside in one of the countries subject to the GDPR. If you are using the Web Properties or our products or services from outside the United States, please be aware that your Personal Information and/or Usage Information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated.

By using the Web Properties or our products and services, you consent to your Personal Information and Usage Information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Notice.
Choices Regarding Your Personal Information
Whether you submit any Personal Information to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan through the Web Properties is entirely up to you. You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information to us. However, this information is essential for the provision and quality of some of the services that we offer to you, so we cannot provide you with certain services or provide you with access to certain features if you choose to withhold requested information.
You may choose to prevent the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan from disclosing or using your Personal Information under certain circumstances (“opt out”). You may opt out of any disclosure or use of your Personal Information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or for which you subsequently gave authorization by notifying us by one of the methods at the end of this Privacy Policy, or by following the procedures set forth in an electronic communication from us, if applicable. There are some uses of Personal Information from which you cannot opt out, such as pursuant to HIPAA, a valid law enforcement investigation or civil proceeding, or a transfer to a third party in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
You also may not opt out of the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan collection and use of your Personal Information in connection with the routine business operations and data collection in connection with administering and operating the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan pension and health plans. Nothing herein shall limit or otherwise restrict the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan ability or practices with respect to such collection and use of your Personal Information as set forth in the preceding sentence.
Please note that opting out of the disclosure and use of your Personal Information as a prospective employee may prevent you from being hired as an employee by the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan to the extent you are using this Web Properties to apply for an open position.
If the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan collect Personal Information from you, such information will not be disclosed or used by the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension Plan for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or for which you subsequently gave authorization unless you affirmatively consent to such disclosure and use.
