Website privacy
How this website handles information.
This policy applies to the public website at padelaspineandjoint.com. It is separate from the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices governing protected health information created or maintained in patient care.
Information collected through this site
This version of the website does not use a patient intake form, advertising pixels, or third-party analytics. The web host may automatically receive standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, date and time, and security logs. This information is used to deliver, protect, and maintain the site.
When a visitor calls or emails the practice, the visitor chooses what information to provide. Ordinary email is not a secure method for sending medical records or sensitive health information.
Do not submit protected health information through ordinary email
Do not send diagnoses, imaging, detailed medical histories, Social Security numbers, complete card numbers, or other sensitive information to the general email address. Patients will be directed to an appropriate secure method when records or clinical information are needed.
Payments
When secure online payments are enabled, card and transaction information will be processed by a third-party payment processor. The practice generally receives transaction details needed to identify and reconcile a payment, but does not store complete card numbers on this website.
Cookies and tracking
This website does not intentionally place advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies. Essential hosting, security, or payment services may use necessary cookies when those services are accessed. If analytics or additional services are added, this policy will be updated.
Sharing
Website information may be shared with vendors that host, secure, maintain, or process payments for the site; with professional advisers; or when required by law. The practice does not sell personal information collected through this website.
Retention and security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure. Technical logs are retained according to hosting, security, legal, and operational needs.
Children
This website is intended for adults seeking information about orthopedic services. It is not designed to collect personal information directly from children.
