Privacy Policy

How Ometz Health collects, uses and protects information submitted through this website — and the choices available to you.

Effective: [DATE]Last updated: [DATE]Applies to ometzhealth.com
Draft for legal review. This page provides the structure and plain-language framing for the practice's website privacy policy. The final wording must be reviewed and approved by the practice's attorney or compliance advisor before launch. Bracketed items require confirmation.
Section 01

Information we collect

This policy covers information collected through this website. It does not cover protected health information created or received in the course of treatment, which is governed separately by our Notice of Privacy Practices.

When you submit our appointment request form, we collect only the details needed to return your call:

  • Your first and last name
  • Your email address and phone number
  • The service you are interested in and your preferred contact method
  • Times you are generally available, and how you heard about us

We also receive standard technical information that your browser sends automatically, such as device type, browser, approximate region, and the pages you viewed.

Section 02

How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, schedule an appointment, verify benefits where relevant, and answer questions about our services. We use technical information to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are useful.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use the information you submit here for advertising.

Section 03

This website is not for clinical information

Our website forms are deliberately designed not to request medical, clinical or diagnostic details, and they are not a secure or confidential channel. Please do not include health information in a form or email.

Once our office contacts you, anything sensitive is collected through our protected patient portal. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For urgent mental-health support at any time, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Section 04

Cookies and analytics

This site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly and to measure general usage.

To be confirmed before launch: the specific analytics and tracking services in use (for example Google Analytics or Search Console), what they collect, retention periods, and whether a cookie consent banner is required for the practice's audience.
Section 05

Sharing and disclosure

We share information only with service providers who help us operate this website and our practice, and only to the extent needed to do that work. We may also disclose information where required by law.

To be confirmed before launch: the list of vendors that process information on the practice's behalf — website hosting, form handling, email, scheduling, and the electronic health record — and which of these require a Business Associate Agreement.
Section 06

How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, which is why our website forms are limited to non-clinical contact details.

Section 07

Your choices

You may ask us to correct or delete the contact details you submitted through this website, and you may ask us to stop contacting you at any time. Most browsers also let you refuse or delete cookies.

To be confirmed before launch: whether any state privacy laws create additional rights for the practice's clients, and the process for handling such requests.
Section 08

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information through this site from children without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Where we provide care to minors, that care is arranged through a parent or guardian.

Section 09

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of this page.

Section 10

How to contact us

If you have questions about this policy or about how your information is handled, please contact our office.
