340B ESP™ Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Second Sight Solutions LLC and its affiliates (“Second Sight,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) use, share and otherwise process Personal Information that we collect through the website portal hosted at www.340besp.com and associated web pages (our “Websites”) and the 340B ESP™ offering made available therein (together with any updates provided by Second Sight and any corresponding documentation, associated media, printed materials, and online or electronic documentation) (collectively, the “Platform”).

340B ESP™ 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 (“Covered Entity Claims Data”) to Second Sight. Second Sight then analyzes this data on behalf of pharmaceutical manufacturers in order to identify duplicate Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE and commercial payer rebates. For additional information about the Platform, please see our Frequency Asked Questions (“FAQs”), available online at www.340besp.com/faqs.
