Welcome to artemis control AG’s websites. We appreciate your interest in us. When you visit and navigate our sites and when you communicate with us via our sites, we will not collect personal information about you unless you provide us that information voluntarily. Any non-public personal information that you may provide via our sites will be used solely for the purpose stated on the page where it is collected.  (In some cases, and in all cases where required by law or regulation, you will be able to update the information that you provide to us either by sending us an e-mail or, where you have established personal profiles with us, by updating your profile online. Please refer to the specific pages where data is collected for more information.) artemis control AG will not sell, license, transmit or disclose this information outside of artemis control AG and its affiliated companies unless (a) expressly authorized by you, (b) necessary to enable artemis control AG contractors or agents to perform certain functions for us, or (c) required or permitted by law. In all cases, we will disclose the information consistent with applicable laws and regulations and we will require the recipient to protect the information and use it only for the purpose it was provided.



By “personal information,” we mean data that is unique to an individual, such as a name, address, Social Security number, e-mail address, or telephone number. From time to time, we may request personal information from you at our sites in order to deliver requested materials to you, respond to your questions, or deliver a product or service.



Your e-mail

We welcome your comments or questions about our websites and have provided e-mail boxes for that purpose. We will share your comments and questions with our customer service representatives and those employees most capable of addressing your questions and concerns.



Please note that your e-mail, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet e-mail communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. If you wish, you may contact us instead via non-cellular telephone at the numbers provided at various locations on our sites or, in the case of our health plan members, at the Member Services toll-free number that appears on your ID card.



There are some locations on artemis control AG’s websites where we have made special provisions for a more secure environment in which we can exchange information with you. At each of these locations, we will provide you with appropriate instructions.



Other information; "cookies" and "tags"


You should also be aware that when you visit our websites, we will not collect certain information that does identify you personally. 


We will not 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. Due to that fact the visitor cannot be recognized as a repeat user when you return to that side.

We will not use what is known as "client-side page tagging".
This technique uses code on each page to write certain information about the page and the visitor to a log when a page is rendered by your web browser. Due to that fact it is not necessary to have JavaScript program running on your computer.

From time to time, artemis control AG websites may provide links to other websites, not owned or controlled by artemis control AG, that we think might be useful or of interest to you. We cannot, however, be responsible for the privacy practices used by other website owners or the content or accuracy of those other websites. Links to various non-artemis control AG websites do not constitute or imply endorsement by artemis control AG of these websites, any products or services described on these sites, or of any other material contained in them.
