Federal regulations require Jones to provide benefits-eligible employees with the following notices:
Private Health Information
A portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) addresses the protection of confidential health information. It applies to all health benefit plans. In short, the idea is to make sure that confidential health information that identifies (or could be used to identify) you is kept completely confidential. This individually identifiable health information is known as “protected health information” (PHI), and it will not be used or disclosed without your written authorization, except as described in the Plans HIPAA Privacy Notice or as otherwise permitted by federal and state health information privacy laws. A copy of the Plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices that describes the Plan’s policies, practices and your rights with respect to your PHI under HIPAA is available from your medical plan provider. For more information regarding this Notice, please contact Jones Resources or the medical plan directly.
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act
Jones’ medical plans, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services. These services include:
- All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed
- Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance
- Prostheses and treatment of physical complications resulting from mastectomy (including lymphedema)
This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions that apply to the mastectomy. For more information, contact your medical plan provider.
Special Enrollment Rights
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in a Jones health plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards you or your dependents’ other coverage.) However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependent’s other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage.)
In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that your request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoptions, or placement for adoption. For more information, contact Jones Resources.
Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage
Jones provides a “Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage” to all Medicare-eligible participants on an annual basis. This notice states that under the Jones medical plan, you have prescription drug coverage that is, on average, as generous as the standard Medicare prescription Drug Coverage. If you or an enrolled dependent becomes eligible for Medicare, you will receive this notice for your records. A copy is available upon request from Jones Resources.
Individual Coverage Mandate
Effective January 1, 2014, Federal law requires that you have Health Care coverage or you may be subject to an income tax penalty. You can enroll in Jones’ health plan, or you may want to consider visiting www.healthcare.gov for information on health plans available through the Healthcare Marketplace in your area.

7. What are your rights?
To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you may request access to the personal data we maintain about you or request that we correct, amend, delete or block the information by contacting us as indicated below. Where provided by law, you may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us or object at any time on legitimate grounds to the processing of your personal data, and we will apply your preferences going forward.
At any time, you can follow the “unsubscribe” link provided in marketing email message received from us to opt out of receiving our email marketing communications. You can make a request to exercise any of these rights in relation to your personal data by clicking here or contacting us through the address or telephone number provided below.
You also have the right to make a complaint at any time with your national data protection authority or other public authority governing the protection of your personal data.
8. How do we protect your personal data? We have implemented technical and organisational security measures to safeguard the personal data in our custody and control. Such measures include, for example, limiting access to personal data only to employees and authorised service providers who need to know such information for (a) the purposes described in this Privacy Notice; and (b) in order to perform their jobs, such as providing you with information you request, or notifying you of new products and services. We also maintain certain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the personal data in our possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology.
While we endeavour to protect our systems, sites, operations and information against unauthorised access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
Although we will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal data, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure and the website cannot be absolutely protected against unauthorized intrusion. We will have no liability for disclosure of information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized or negligent acts of third parties. In addition, we will release specific information about you to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of security or a physical threat to you or others. Please note that if you give out personal data online that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.
9. How long do we keep your personal data?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which that data was collected and to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation. We may retain and use your personal dataas necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and rights.
10. How do we respond to “Do Not Track” signals?
California Law requires that we disclose how we respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing the Internet. The DNT feature of these browsers sends a signal that inform operators of services online that they do not want certain information about their online activities collected over time and across websites or online services. Currently, we do not recognize or respond to DNT signals.
11. Links to other Websites
Please note our website may, from time to time, contain links to and from other websites, such as the website of companies in the JPS portfolio. If you follow a link to any other websites from our website, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we have no control over how they may use your personal data. You should check the privacy policies of third party websites before you submit any personal data to them.
