Privacy & Security Statement

At Delta Dental of New Jersey, your privacy is important to us. The following information explains how we collect the information we receive about you and how we protect that information.

Confidentiality
The personal information we receive through your use of our web services is not disclosed to other companies for marketing purposes, and eligibility and dental benefit information is released only to authorized individuals.

While our web pages may contain links to other related websites, Delta Dental of New Jersey is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.

Security
Our site uses industry standards, such as firewalls and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. It encrypts all of your personal information, including your Social Security number, name, and all of your plan coverage and benefit information. This means that your personal information displayed on our site cannot be read by unauthorized persons as it travels over the Internet.

Delta Dental of New Jersey uses "cookies" technology to provide session management. Session management allows the site to track which page a user was on after submitting a request for information. This technology prevents the user from having to re-enter information each time he or she looks at a page of output from a request.

We also may use what is known as "client-side page tagging," which uses code on our products pages to write certain information about the page and the visitor to a log when a page is rendered by your web browser. "Tagging" does result in a JavaScript program running on your computer, but it is limited to providing information about the page that you are requesting and the configuration of your browser. It will not read any of your data files, or execute any additional programs. It does not extract any personal information about you, such as your name or address. You can prevent tagging by disabling JavaScript in your browser, but that may prevent you from using all of our website's functions. You can opt-out of receiving behavioral ads if you're uncomfortable with the concept. Please follow the instructions here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

There are some things you can do to help protect the security of your information; for instance, never give out your password. Also, remember to sign out of your computer, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.

Delta Dental of New Jersey also is a licensee of the VeriSign program.

This information explains the precautions we have taken to protect your personal information; however, Delta Dental is not liable for any hardware or software problems you may experience while using the Internet.

Email
Please note that any information you send to Delta Dental of New Jersey in a public form (such as an email) is not subject to the security and encryption procedures of this statement.
