How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the site and practice, or when required by law (for example, in response to a valid legal request). We do not sell or rent your information to third parties.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive medical or health information through the contact form.

You may contact us to ask what information we hold about you, or to request a correction or deletion, subject to applicable law. Depending on your state of residence (for example, California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights. [Confirm with counsel which rights apply and how to honor requests.]
