According to the DEFINITIONS attached, we have developed the following practices and policies to safeguard your information.

Your Non-Personal Information

When you visit a Site page, we may collect non-personal information from you, such as the Internet browser or computer operating system you are using. We use this information only to provide you with better service and to improve this Site. We will not sell or disclose non-personal information to other companies or organizations.

Your Personal Information

When you register for a PTI® service or make service elections (such as signing up for a Pharmacy SMARTCARD™), you may voluntarily provide us with personal information.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of collection, PTI® will not sell or disclose your personal or health-related personal information to other companies and/or organizations.

PTI® will only use your personal and health-related personal information for the following purposes:

· We will manage your prescription benefits and process your prescription drug claims. This process may involve sharing certain information with you and/or your doctor, pharmacist, health plan and/or program administrator. These disclosures are made in full compliance with the terms of your health plan or prescription benefit plan.

· We will facilitate the processing of orders that you have placed with your convenient PTI® network pharmacy.

· At your request, we may from time to time send your general information regarding health conditions and/or medicines. We may also from time to time send you information about promotional offers that may interest you.

· At the request of either you or your health plan, we may send your information or contact you regarding programs designed to improve your health.

PTI® also reserves the right to use your personal or health-related personal information to generate aggregate data for the following purposes:

· To better serve you, we may perform statistical analyses of the traffic patterns, site usage and behaviors associated with this Site. We may use these analyses to generate aggregate data that we may sell or disclose to other companies or organizations in conjunction with utilization review and reimbursement.

· PTI® reviews and analyzes drug utilization information in the aggregate to study outcomes, costs and provider profiles, and to suggest formulary and plan benefit designs for your employer or health plan. These studies generate aggregate data that we may sell or disclose to other companies or organizations.

Under certain circumstances, PTI® may be legally compelled to release your personal or health-related personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law or regulation. Under these circumstances, we will notify you unless doing so would violate the law and/or court order.

Therefore, although we are committed to protecting your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will remain private.
