Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 21, 2026
Premier Family Chiropractic respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the Premier Family Chiropractic website, contact our office, or interact with features available through our website.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through this website and related online communications. It does not replace our Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs the use and disclosure of protected health information maintained as part of a patient’s healthcare record.

- Submit a website contact form

The information you provide may include your name, email address, telephone number, appointment information, communication preferences, and any other information you choose to include in a message.
Please do not submit sensitive medical information through a general website contact form unless the form is specifically identified as a secure method for communicating health information.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, and similar technologies.
This information may include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser and device type
- Operating system
- Referring website
- Pages viewed
- Date and time of access
- General geographic location
- Website interactions and navigation activity
We may use this information to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve performance, maintain security, and evaluate our outreach efforts.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, support website functionality, measure traffic, and improve the visitor experience.
You may be able to block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the operation of certain website features.
The website may use third-party services that place their own cookies or collect information according to their respective privacy policies.

We may use information collected through the website to:
- Respond to questions and requests

We will not use information submitted through the website in a manner materially different from what is described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice.
Healthcare and Patient Information
Information created or maintained in connection with chiropractic, acupuncture, or other healthcare services may constitute protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, and other applicable laws.
When information is part of a patient’s healthcare record, its use and disclosure are governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable healthcare privacy laws rather than solely by this website Privacy Policy.
Submitting a general website inquiry does not, by itself, establish a doctor-patient relationship.
Appointment Scheduling and Third-Party Services
Our website may link to an outside appointment scheduling platform or other third-party services. Information submitted directly to those services is governed by the privacy policies, security practices, and terms of those providers.
Premier Family Chiropractic does not control every aspect of a third party’s data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any outside service before submitting personal or medical information.
Communications by Email, Telephone, and Text Message
When you provide your contact information, we may use it to respond to your request or communicate about appointments, services, office matters, or other subjects relevant to your relationship with Premier Family Chiropractic.
Email and standard text messages may not be completely secure. Do not send highly sensitive medical or financial information through an unsecured email or text message.
When required by law, promotional text messages will be sent only with appropriate consent. Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of receiving treatment or making a purchase. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP and may request assistance by replying HELP.
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe instructions in the message or contacting our office. Administrative communications related to appointments, billing, treatment, safety, or legal obligations may continue when permitted by law.
How We Share Information
We may disclose information collected through the website to:
- Employees and authorized members of our practice
- Website hosting and technology providers
- Appointment scheduling and practice-management providers
- Email, telephone, or messaging service providers
- Analytics, security, and fraud-prevention providers
- Billing, insurance, or professional service providers, when applicable
- Government agencies, regulators, courts, or law enforcement when legally required
- Other parties when necessary to protect our rights, safety, patients, staff, property, or the public
- A successor organization in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of the practice
Service providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for us and are expected to protect it appropriately.
We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
We do not disclose protected health information for advertising or unrelated marketing except as permitted by law and, when required, with the patient’s authorization.
Website Analytics and Advertising Technologies
We may use analytics tools to understand website traffic and improve website performance. These tools may collect information about your browser, device, approximate location, and interactions with the website.
Because visits to a healthcare website can reveal potentially sensitive interests, we take reasonable steps to limit the disclosure of identifiable health information through analytics or advertising technology. We do not intend to send medical record information, appointment details, diagnoses, treatment information, or the contents of patient communications to advertising platforms.
The website administrator should configure all analytics, advertising pixels, cookies, and tracking tools in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable healthcare privacy requirements.
Google reCAPTCHA
Our website may use Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam and automated abuse. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Google may collect technical and device information to determine whether a website interaction is being performed by a person or an automated system.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information under our control.
However, no website, email system, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk and should use caution when deciding what information to send through an unsecured website form, email, or text message.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Fulfill the purposes for which it was collected
- Maintain appropriate business and patient records
- Comply with healthcare, tax, insurance, and legal requirements
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Protect the practice and its patients
Medical records are retained according to applicable healthcare record-retention requirements and practice policies.
Your Choices
Depending on the nature of the information and applicable law, you may request that we:
- Update inaccurate contact information
- Stop sending promotional emails or text messages
- Explain what personal information we collected through the website
- Delete certain website inquiry information that we are not legally required to retain
Requests involving protected health information or medical records will be handled under our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable healthcare laws.

Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without authorization from a parent or legal guardian.
Parents and guardians may contact our office regarding pediatric chiropractic services. Information submitted about a child should be provided only by a parent, guardian, or other person legally authorized to act for the child.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to appointment platforms, social media services, insurance resources, maps, or other third-party websites.
We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. Review the policies of each third-party website before providing information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, technologies, or legal obligations.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the website after a revised policy is posted constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
