Rhett Women’s Center (“we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website.
Your medical records and the health information we keep as your provider are protected by federal law (HIPAA) and are covered by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not this policy.
Information you give us
- Appointment requests. Our appointment request form is provided by a HIPAA-compliant form service that has signed a business associate agreement with us. What you submit is encrypted and sent to our office, and we protect it as health information under our Notice of Privacy Practices.
- Phone calls and email. If you call or email us, we use what you share to respond. Regular email is not secure, so please do not email personal health information. Call the office instead.
- Newsletter. If you sign up for our newsletter, we use your name and email address to send it. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email.
Information collected automatically
When you visit, our website and the tools we use may collect technical information such as your browser type, device, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site and general location based on your IP address. We collect this with cookies and similar technologies, and only in the categories you allow (see “Cookies and your choices” below).
Health information and online tracking
We take extra care because the pages you read on a medical practice’s website can reveal something about your health.
- We do not place advertising or analytics tracking on our appointment request form or any page where you enter personal health information.
- Analytics and advertising cookies stay off on the first page you view until you make a choice. If you continue to another page without choosing, we treat that as agreement and turn them on. Visitors in Europe, the UK and Switzerland, and browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal, must opt in with a click.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share health information with advertising platforms for marketing.
- We configure analytics so reports are about how the site is used overall, not about you as an individual.
Cookies and your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all but the essential ones, or choose by category. If you move on to another page without choosing, we treat that as agreement to all categories. The categories are:
- Strictly necessary cookies keep the site secure and remember your cookie choice. They are always on.
- Functional cookies remember preferences and allow embedded content such as maps and video.
- Analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, help us count visits and see which pages are useful.
- Advertising cookies, such as Google Ads, help us measure our ads and show relevant ads on other sites.
You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a request to opt out of advertising cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as expected.
How we use information
- To respond to your requests and schedule appointments
- To send the newsletter or other messages you asked for
- To understand how the site is used and improve it
- To measure our advertising, only if you allow advertising cookies
- To keep the site secure and comply with the law
How we share information
We share information only with service providers who help us run the website and our practice (such as our web host, form service, email service and analytics provider), when the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our patients, staff and others. Service providers may use the information only to provide services to us.
Text messages and calls
If you give us your mobile number, we may text or call you about appointments and your care. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of text messages at any time. We do not sell or share your mobile number for marketing.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we have collected about you through this website, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of your information. Residents of some states, including California and Washington, have additional rights for consumer health data. Use the “Your Privacy Choices” link at the bottom of every page to opt out of advertising cookies, or contact us to make any other request. We will verify your request and respond as the law requires. We will not discriminate against you for using your rights.
To access or correct your medical records, follow the steps in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them online.
Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information, including encryption on this website and our forms. No website is completely secure. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or as the law requires.
Links to other sites
Our site links to other websites, such as social media and product partners. Their privacy practices are their own, so please review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
