Privacy Policy

What this covers

This policy applies to jameskleppermd.com. It explains what happens to information you enter on this website — for example, when you send an appointment request.

It does not cover information you give the office in person, by phone, or during care. That information is protected health information and is handled under HIPAA and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.

What we collect

Only what you choose to send us. If you submit the appointment request form, that means:

• Your name
• Your phone number and email address
• The reason for your enquiry, as you describe it
• Anything else you type into the message field

The form asks you not to include medical details, precisely so that sensitive information is discussed in the office rather than sent over the internet.

Our web host also records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This is ordinary server logging and is not used to identify you.

How it is used

Information you submit is used to contact you about scheduling and to respond to your enquiry. That is all. We do not sell it, rent it, or use it for advertising.

Sharing

We do not sell or trade your information. It may be handled by service providers who operate parts of this website on our behalf — such as our web host and the software that delivers form submissions to the office — and only to the extent needed to do that work.

We may disclose information where required by law.

Cookies & analytics

This site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function. If analytics are in use, they measure aggregate traffic — which pages are visited, and how people arrive — rather than identifying individuals.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Parts of the site may not work as expected if you do.

Security

This site is served over an encrypted connection, and we take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, which is why we ask you not to send medical details through this website.

Your choices

You can ask us what information you have submitted through this website, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Call the office at 631-812-1000 and we will help.

Rights concerning your medical record are separate and are described in the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.

Children

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children through it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted here with a new date at the top of the page.
