What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Automatic Data Collection & Tracking Technology

What We Collect and Why 

Like many modern websites, we use automatic data collection technologies, such as cookies, server logs, and web beacons, to analyze how visitors interact with our site. This data helps us improve website performance, optimize navigation, and enhance the services we offer.

When you visit our website, we may collect technical, non-personal information, including but not limited to:

• Device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system).
• Usage data (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages, and clickstream data).
• General location data (e.g., city/state derived from IP address).

We configure certain tools to reduce or limit the collection of identifying information where reasonably possible. We do not intend for this website’s tracking technologies to be used to collect sensitive health information, and you should not submit sensitive medical information through general website forms unless expressly instructed.

How We Use and Share This Data 

We may share this de-identified usage data with third-party analytics providers to help us understand website traffic trends. The data shared with these providers is aggregated and does not include direct personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or phone number.

Distinction from Protected Health Information (PHI) 

Please note that general website analytics data is separate and distinct from Protected Health Information (PHI).

• PHI is health information you voluntarily provide to us through secure channels, such as our Patient Portal or secure intake forms.
• Our collection, use, and disclosure of PHI are governed strictly by our Notice of Privacy Practices.

We do not use or disclose PHI for marketing or general website analytics purposes without your valid, written authorization as required by HIPAA.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

• Third party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites on the internet.
• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website.
• Users may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
