Privacy Policy

Bethesda Scoliosis & Posture ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or respond to our advertisements. This policy applies to information collected through our website and marketing, and is separate from our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information in your medical record.

Information we collect

• Information you provide: when you fill out a form on our website, submit a form through a social media advertisement, request a consultation, or contact us by phone or email, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and any details you choose to share about your interest in our services.
• Automatically collected information: when you visit our website we may collect standard technical and usage information, such as your device and browser type, pages viewed, and general location, through analytics tools like Google Analytics.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation or appointment.
• To provide information about our services.
• To improve our website and marketing.
• To send you information you request.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate our website, scheduling, and marketing (for example, analytics, advertising, and email providers), who are permitted to use it only to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Advertising

We advertise on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. If you submit a form through one of our advertisements, the information you provide is shared with us to follow up on your request. These platforms have their own privacy policies that govern their collection and use of data.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies, and tools such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Data security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our website and marketing are directed to adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website or advertisements. Information about minor patients is handled through our clinical intake process and is governed by HIPAA, not this policy.

You may ask us to update or delete the contact information you provided, or to stop sending you marketing messages, by contacting us using the details below.
