This Website Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit and interact with our Site.

Please note that this policy applies strictly to information collected on this public-facing website. Clinical patient interactions and Protected Health Information (PHI) are governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

We collect this information using tracking technologies, including cookies, web beacons, and server logs via third-party services such as Google Analytics and Wix Analytics.

​

We utilize a Cookie Consent Framework that honors user choice. Background tracking and analytics cookies are blocked by default upon your initial arrival at our Site.

To fulfill your requests efficiently and securely, data submitted through our website forms is securely transmitted via automated, encrypted webhooks (using secure middleware pipelines) into our HIPAA-compliant communication and tracking platforms, including Spruce Health. This data transmission is strictly transactional and occurs solely to establish communication between you and our clinical team.

​

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, lease, or distribute your personal website data or form information to third-party marketers.
