Privacy Policy
What We Collect
We do not collect personal information from people who simply read our website. The information we have about you is what you choose to share with us, through a contact form, newsletter signup, appointment request, or as part of clinical care.
How We Use and Disclose Your Information
Email addresses are used to send Amanecia Health newsletters and practice updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email, and we honor unsubscribes immediately. We do not sell email addresses or share them with advertisers.
Information shared with us as part of clinical care, including medical history, lab results, treatment notes, and billing details (your protected health information, or PHI), is used to provide treatment, coordinate with other providers and labs, bill for services, and meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
We disclose PHI without your authorization only when required or permitted by law, such as for payment, healthcare operations, public-health reporting, or in response to valid legal process. For uses or disclosures not covered by this policy or by law, we will obtain your written authorization, and you may revoke that authorization at any time.
