Last Updated: April 26, 2022
This Privacy Policy shall govern and apply to anyone accessing or using the website https://wholehealthacu.com and any other website(s) in existence now or created in the future (hereinafter and collectively, the “Site”) owned and/or operated by Whole Health Integrative Care (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”).
Company respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personally identifiable information we may collect, and how we might use this information. This policy also describes other important topics relating to your privacy.
By using this Site, you consent to the collection and use of information by Company from the Site as indicated below.
INFORMATION COLLECTED.
Company will only collect personally identifiable information, such as name, name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address, that you voluntarily provide through our website or e-mail correspondence. Our host web server tracks and collects general information about the visits to our Site. While IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) are logged to track a user’s session, the user remains anonymous. We analyze this data for certain trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting, how long they spend there, the visitors’ domain names, and what states or countries those requests come from. We do not link your IP addresses to anything personally identifiable to you. We will collect general information (such as the type of browser you use and the files you request) to improve our Site and better meet your needs.
Company also requests and collects personal information from users at various site locations and instances, including, but not limited to, when you make an appointment, communicate with us via social media, write a review, or post other user-generated content to this Site. These are currently the primary ways in which we gather information; however, we may also collect data through other channels in the future. The types of personal information we may collect from you (as addressed further below) can vary according to the method through which it was attained.
PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US.
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us, such as:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Information provided by you through your interactions with us in social media
- Location and geographic information that could be collected if you use our mobile site or app
- Other details that you may submit to us or that may be included in the information provided to us by third parties
The personal information as described above shall hereinafter be referred to as “Personal Information.”
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION.
Company offers various services to our patients and also strives to meet the needs of our patients. We use your Personal Information for internal purposes such as analyzing your preferences and noting trends and statistics. To do this effectively, we need to collect certain Personal Information.
CONSENT OF COLLECTION.
All Personal Information we collect from you requires your consent. We may request your consent from time to time for marketing purposes that we think will be useful to you. However, unless you are informed otherwise, the Personal Information we hold is for establishing and managing our business and patient relationship with you. Sensitive information is subject to greater restrictions and governed by law.
By communicating with Company, including by email and by completing online forms, you are giving your consent to the collection of what Personal Information you provide.
INFORMATION SHARING.
Company does not share the Personal Information of its users with any unaffiliated third parties for their promotional purposes. However, we use a third-party insurance billing company and a third-party appointment scheduling platform, and we may use other third parties for other services from time to time. These third parties have no authority to use your personal information for their own promotional purposes. These third parties will only have limited access to your Personal Information in order to help facilitate our services.
Although Company uses industry-standard BEST practices to protect your Personal Information, WE DO NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT AND/OR GUARANTEE THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL REMAIN SECURE. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications will always remain private. Notwithstanding this, as a matter of policy, we NEVER sell or rent any Personal Information about you to any third party. In the event there is a breach of security, or we are made aware that your Personal Information could be jeopardized, we will take all necessary measures to communicate these issues to you so that you can take steps to protect yourself.
LEGAL DISCLOSURE.
Because Company considers the individual information we maintain to be confidential, our policy is to disclose no Personal Information to third parties (except as described above) unless release is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or government investigations or proceedings. We reserve the right to disclose personal information to our service providers, the government, law enforcement agencies, or other third parties under certain circumstances where a formal request has been made (such as in responding to a court order, subpoena, or judicial proceeding) as Company, in our sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary and appropriate. Moreover, in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of some or all of Company’s assets, or dissolution or bankruptcy, your Personal Information may be transferred to an unaffiliated third party as part of or apart from other transferred assets or assets. Any transfer will then be governed by and be the responsibility of any purchaser of or successor to the transferred assets or assets. We shall notify you by a notice on the home page of any change in the information practices governing your personal information as a result of any transfer of assets or any asset change in ownership, and your choices in how your information is used.
YOUR CHOICES.
You have the right to access the Personal Information you have provided to us. If you require details of your Personal Information held by us, we will need to verify your identity before meeting your request, which we will process in a reasonable time. If you find that the information that we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, then we will promptly correct it upon receipt of the changes from you.
