By using our Site, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We may collect different categories of information, including personal details such as your name, address, email, phone number, and date of birth, as well as sensitive health information you may provide when requesting appointments or submitting forms, which may qualify as Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Additionally, we automatically gather technical and usage data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and browsing behavior, often through cookies and other tracking technologies, to improve performance, analyze trends, and enhance the user experience. The information we collect may be used to schedule and deliver healthcare services, process insurance or billing requests, respond to your inquiries, send administrative communications, conduct internal quality and performance reviews, comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, detect and prevent fraud or security threats, and support operational improvements. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties, but in certain circumstances we may disclose it to trusted business partners, third-party service providers that assist in website hosting, analytics, communications, or payment processing, as well as healthcare providers, insurers, or government agencies when required or permitted by law, including for public health and safety reasons. Any PHI shared or stored is managed in accordance with HIPAA standards, and we implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to reduce risks of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse, though no system can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure. Our Site may use cookies, beacons, and analytics tools to gather information about how visitors interact with our pages, and while you can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies, some functionality of the Site may be affected. Depending on your state or country of residence, you may have specific privacy rights including the right to access and obtain a copy of your personal information, request corrections, ask for deletion of data subject to recordkeeping laws, restrict or object to certain processing activities, and opt out of non-essential marketing communications, and we will honor such requests to the extent required by law. Our Site may also contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services, but we are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or security of those third parties, and you should review their terms before providing information.
