Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Taggart Terminal ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the website at taggartterminal.com and related services (the "Services"). We are an independent research firm, and protecting the trust that our public-data focus depends on is central to how we operate.
1. Our core commitment: no protected health information
Taggart Terminal does not collect, request, store, or process protected health information (PHI) or individual patient records. Our research concerns prices, plans, providers, and networks derived from publicly available and permissioned datasets — not individuals' health information.
2. Information we collect from you
We collect only limited information that you choose to provide or that is generated when you visit the site:
- Contact information you submit — such as your name, email address, and organization — when you email us or use a contact form.
- Technical and usage data — such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring URLs — collected automatically through standard web logs and privacy-respecting analytics to keep the site secure and understand aggregate usage.
3. How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the Services you request;
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
4. Public and permissioned research data
The datasets we analyze for our research are obtained from public sources or under permission from their publishers, and are handled separately from any personal information you may submit through the website. These datasets do not contain PHI.
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate the Services (for example, website hosting, email delivery, and analytics), and only as necessary for them to perform those functions. We may also disclose information where required by law.
6. Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies or similar technologies and privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used and to improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some site functionality.
7. Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve disputes.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the limited personal information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have provided to us by contacting privacy@taggartterminal.com. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.
10. Children's privacy
The Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
