8. Does the Centennial Rewards program collect information protected by HIPAA?
Yes, the Centennial Rewards program may collect information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and related laws and regulations (the "HIPAA rules").
The HIPAA rules protect the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). This includes information that personally identifies an individual or that may be used to identify an individual. Examples of PHI include
- your name, address, date of birth, health plan member ID, and Social Security number
- your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition
- the provision of health care to you
- the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to you
The HIPAA rules protect all PHI from improper use or disclosure by Covered Entities (such as health plans) and certain Business Associates. Finity is not a Covered Entity under HIPAA; however, we may be a Business Associate of a Covered Entity from whom we receive your information. For example, we may perform certain services for health insurance companies sponsoring your access to this site. In instances where Finity is a Business Associate or handling your PHI, we will comply with all HIPAA requirements and all terms of the pertinent Business Associate agreement.
This site and all other aspects of the Centennial Rewards program are designed to comply with the applicable HIPAA rules. We collect PHI that you voluntarily submit when you register for the Centennial Rewards program or take part in any wellness activities and programs made available through the program. For example, as part of the registration process for a wellness challenge or health activity, you may be asked to submit your name, age, height, weight, health conditions, health risk factors, etc.
The PHI we collect may be shared with your health plan or the state to administer your health program or incentive, with third-party health service entities, or to comply with a court order or other legal requirement. We may also share your PHI within the Finity family of businesses, but only in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws. To find out how your health plan may use your PHI, we recommend that you review their privacy policies and terms of use.
Although this site and the products and services offered through Finity are not intended for use by children, we are committed to compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง6501-1605. Parents and legal guardians may have the opportunity to voluntarily submit personally identifiable information or PHI on behalf of their children. Any such information is only obtained upon parent/guardian consent. Any personally identifiable information or PHI submitted on behalf of children will be used in the same manner and for the same purposes as information collected for adults accessing this site.
9. Does this site collect genetic information?
No. The Centennial Rewards program does not collect genetic information for any purposes that are prohibited by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). GINA generally prohibits health plans from collecting genetic information, including family medical history, prior to or in connection with enrollment, for underwriting purposes, or as part of a health risk assessment.
10. Does this site collect Social Security numbers?
Yes. The Centennial Rewards program uses your Social Security number when you register for the program. We may also use it to help confirm your identity when you contact Centennial Rewards Customer Service. We use advanced encryption, security technology, and strict procedures to protect your Social Security number from unauthorized use or disclosure.
11. How do you use my personal information?
The Centennial Rewards program does not sell any of the personally identifiable information we collect. In the course of providing service to you, we may share your personal information with your health plan for the purpose of administering the Reward Program, including forwarding your current and previous contact information. We may also share some of your personal information with other third-party service entities, or to comply with a court order or other legal requirement.
We may also remove all personal identifiers from your PHI through a process known as de-identification, in accordance with HIPAA regulations. Once de-identified, the information can no longer be tied to you or used to identify you in any way. The de-identified information we collect and create is compiled in large volumes for the purpose of performing statistical analysis.
In the event we transfer the ownership of our business services to another organization, in whole or in part, because of a reorganization, merger, or succession plan, your personal information may be transferred. If such a transfer of interest occurs, the successor organization's use of your personal information will still be subject to this Privacy Policy, until you are notified otherwise.
12. How does this site protect personal information?
The Centennial Rewards program uses advanced encryption, security technology, and other safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to this website and to maintain the privacy and security of collected data and information. We are not responsible for any harm that may occur if you voluntarily or accidentally disclose your PHI or personal information, including your username or password, to any third parties.
13. Can I opt out of receiving communications?
Yes. You can change your communication preference for the rewards program or opt out of certain reward communication media in the My Account section of www.centennialrewards.com. You may also call us at 1-877-806-8964 (TTY: 1-844-488-9722) to opt out.
Please be advised that you may not be able to opt out of certain required system messages used to verify your identity or service your account. Finity also has no control over the opt-out policies of other companies, including your health plan.
14. Will you publicize my name if I earn a reward?
The Centennial Rewards program will not use your name, image, or likeness for publicity purposes unless you give us written permission.
15. Is information I provide by email secure?

By taking part in the Centennial Rewards program, you agree that any dispute, lawsuit, or controversy related to your use of the program will be resolved in the federal courts of New Mexico or the state courts of Santa Fe County, New Mexico.
You further expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the federal court of New Mexico or the state courts of Santa Fe County, New Mexico in connection with any dispute involving the Centennial Rewards program, its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, administrators, and telecommunication providers.
