Privacy Policy

Our Practice takes your privacy seriously, and we want you to know how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our related mobile applications or opt-in for messaging.

Please note this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) does not apply to Protected Health Information (PHI) that is subject to privacy regulations published under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). We separately address how your PHI is handled in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at each office location or online.

The information contained in this document does not constitute medical or healthcare advice for any individual problem. It is not a substitute for medical or other professional advice and services from a qualified healthcare provider familiar with a patient’s unique facts. Individuals with health concerns should always consult a healthcare provider for any health problem or medical condition, and/or prior to the start of any new treatment.

Collection of Personal Information You Submit

When you use this website or messaging service, we may use the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you submit an inquiry or register for an event. By doing so, you are giving our practice your permission to use the information for the stated purpose. If you choose to provide us with personal information, including completing a web form or sending us an email or message, we will use that information to help us provide you the information or service you have requested or respond to your message.

The information we may receive from you varies based on what you do when visiting this website or using our messaging service. This personal information may include your:

Any other details you voluntarily choose to submit

The amount of information you provide is completely voluntary; however, providing less information might limit a user’s ability to access all of the website or messaging features.

Automatically Collected Information

In addition to the personal information you voluntarily submit to us, our practice and its vendors use analytics tools and other third-party technologies to collect certain information automatically when you use this website or our messaging services.

For example, we use a third-party analytics service provider that uses cookies to support the operation and performance of this website and to analyze visitor interactions on this website. A cookie is a small file that a website transfers to your computer to allow it to remember specific information about your session while you are connected. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will be transmitted to and stored by this service provider and is not personally identifiable.

Use of Personal Information

For example, if you provide your email address so you can receive emails about a particular activity or topic, we may send you information about other activities or topics we believe are compatible with your request. If you wish to stop receiving such promotional communications from us, you may use the “unsubscribe” link included in our emails to opt out. Please note that we may still send you transactional and administrative emails even if you opt out of promotional communications.

Other examples of how we may use information obtained include to:

Communicate with you, including responding to inquiries that you submitted, and/or emailing, calling, or texting you in accordance with your preferences and subject to your consent, were required by law.

We will not disclose personal information, information regarding text messaging opt-in or message data to third parties, except as stated in this Privacy Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices per HIPAA.

Information Security

Our practice has implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures to help safeguard your personal information against unauthorized or illegal access, destruction, use, loss, modification, or disclosure.

Although we follow reasonable procedures to safeguard information, transmission via the Internet is not completely secure, and it is impossible for our practice to completely guarantee that user data will be immune from malicious attack or compromise. Users of this website and messaging should understand that their transmission of personal or user data is always at their own risk.

Storage and Maintenance of User Data in the United States

Our practice collects and stores all user data domestically; therefore, your information will be subject to the laws of the United States, regardless of the country from which your data originates.

We will never share, trade, or otherwise sell your personal information such as Phone numbers and SMS consent to third parties under any circumstances.

If you have any questions, queries, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our personal information practices, please contact us directly via email or phone. Given the potential security risks associated with email, please use caution when sending any personal information via email.
