Brighter Mind Psychiatry respects your privacy. This policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and retained when you visit this website or contact the practice through it.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
We may collect your name, telephone number, email address, appointment request details, and other information you voluntarily provide through a contact form, telephone call, or other communication. Please do not send medical records, diagnoses, Social Security numbers, payment-card information, or other sensitive health information through a general website form.
Information collected automatically
Our website host and service providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate location. Cookies or similar technologies may support essential operation, security, preferences, and aggregate analytics.
2. How we use information
- Respond to appointment requests and general inquiries.
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- Understand aggregate website use and diagnose technical issues.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect patients, visitors, the practice, and others.
3. Cookies and analytics
We use a first-party consent cookie to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. If you accept, we also use a first-party cookie to remember your English or Spanish language preference on later visits. Rejecting cookies removes the saved language preference. We may use privacy-conscious analytics only after applicable consent. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies. We do not use website analytics to provide a psychiatric diagnosis or treatment.
4. Third-party sharing and disclosure
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share limited information with vendors that support hosting, security, analytics, communications, or other website operations; when required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request; or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security. Providers are expected to use information only for services they perform for us.
5. Health information and communications
Using this public website does not by itself create a patient-provider relationship. General website forms and ordinary email may not be secure. Once you become a patient, protected health information is handled under applicable healthcare privacy laws and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs if it conflicts with this website policy.
6. Data retention and security
We retain website information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, legal and recordkeeping requirements, dispute resolution, and security. Retention varies by the information and applicable law. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, including under the CCPA/CPRA or GDPR, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about disclosure of personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing. We do not discriminate for exercising applicable rights. Rights may be limited by identity verification, legal exceptions, and medical-record retention duties. Call or mail the practice to submit a request; we may ask for information needed to verify your identity.
8. Children, external links, and changes
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. External websites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control. We may revise this policy as practices or legal requirements change; the date above identifies the current version.
