Please do not submit medical records, photographs, diagnoses, treatment information, medication information, laboratory results, symptoms, or other sensitive health information through general Site forms or email addresses.

HIPAA

This Privacy Policy governs coreybabb.com and is not a Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).

Clinical services provided through a medical practice may be subject to separate privacy practices, policies, notices, and legal requirements. Those practices are governed by the applicable medical practice and are separate from this Site.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as representing that information submitted through the general Site is protected health information under HIPAA.

Certain privacy laws may define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary sale for money. If the Site engages in activities subject to such definitions, applicable rights and choices will be provided as required by law.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may link to or integrate with third-party websites, platforms, or services, including services related to scheduling, newsletters, publications, social media, education, payment processing, consulting, clinical care, or other activities.

When you leave the Site or interact with a third-party service, that third party may collect information directly from you.

Email and Other Communications

If you subscribe to marketing, educational, newsletter, or similar email communications, you may unsubscribe using the link provided in those communications or by following other instructions provided to you.

We may retain certain information as reasonably necessary to honor an unsubscribe request, maintain appropriate records, or comply with legal obligations.

Transactional, administrative, or individually requested communications may not be subject to marketing unsubscribe preferences.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business and administrative records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect legitimate interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information collected through the Site.

No website, network, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored in connection with the Site.

For this reason, sensitive medical information should not be transmitted through general Site communication methods.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult and professional audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If we learn that such information has been collected in circumstances subject to applicable children's privacy laws, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Depending on where you reside and the laws applicable to our activities, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to request:

• information about personal information collected about you;
• access to certain personal information;
• correction of inaccurate information;
• deletion of certain information; or
• other choices concerning certain uses or disclosures of information.

These rights are not absolute and may apply only when required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Privacy requests may be submitted using the contact information provided on the Site.

Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Browsers and devices may provide mechanisms that allow users to express privacy preferences, including “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy signals.

Because standards and legal requirements regarding these mechanisms continue to develop, the Site will respond to legally recognized privacy preference signals when and to the extent required by applicable law.
