Website privacy – what we collect

What this Privacy Policy covers

This Privacy Policy describes how Afshar Medical Group handles information collected through our website, online forms, booking tools, payment pages and email links. It does not describe how we use or disclose your medical chart; that is covered by our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information you provide to us

We collect information that you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, appointment requests, messages you send through our contact or booking forms, and any documents you upload. If you email us, we receive the content of your email and your email address.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed and the time and date of your visit. This helps us understand how patients use our site and improve it over time.

Cookies & similar technologies

Our website and third-party tools may use cookies or similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep sessions secure and understand how the site is used. You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

Information from third-party services

We may use trusted third-party services to provide online booking, patient portals, payment processing, analytics or forms. When you use these features, those companies may receive your information and handle it according to their own privacy policies in addition to ours

Not for emergencies

Our website and online forms are not monitored 24/7 and must not be used for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

How we use, share & protect information

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to respond to your messages, schedule appointments, manage our relationship with you, operate and improve our website and services, and comply with legal or regulatory requirements..

When we share information

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our practice (for example, IT support, hosting, analytics, patient portal and payment vendors). These parties are required to protect your information and to use it only for the services they provide to us. We may also share information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety or property.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect through our website. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Retention of information

We keep information collected through our website only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to maintain business records, or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
