This Privacy Policy describes how Second Sight Solutions, LLC and its affiliates (“Second Sight,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information that we collect online and offline about users of our website portal hosted at www.340besp.com and associated web pages (our “Websites”) and the 340B ESP Platform offering made available therein (collectively, the “Platform”). The Platform is intended for use by persons located in the United States.
340B ESP Platform enables a 340B covered entity (“Covered Entity”) to submit, via an authorized employee or agent acting on its behalf, certain de-identified 340B pharmacy claims data, which predominantly includes 340B claims data that has been deidentified in accordance with the HIPAA deidentification standard (“Covered Entity Claims Data”) to Second Sight. Second Sight then analyzes this data on behalf of pharmaceutical manufacturers (“Manufacturers”) in order to identify duplicate Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE and commercial payer rebates, determine eligibility under the 340B Drug Pricing Program (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 256b), and determine compliance with Manufacturers’ policies. For additional information about the Platform, please see our Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQs”), available online at www.340besp.com/faqs. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the Covered Entity Claims Data that we process in our capacity as a service provider on behalf of the Manufacturers and Covered Entities, who are the entities that control the processing of that data.
This Privacy Policy also does not cover the personal information that we collect about Company employees or job applicants or contractors engaged by the Company.
