Privacy on this website.

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Meadowcrest Family Physicians (“we,” “our,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information gathered through our website at meadowcrestfp.com. It does not cover information you provide to us in person at our offices, by phone, through our patient portal, or in your medical record. Those interactions are governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information we collect

Information you provide

If you send us a message through any contact form on this website, we receive the information you submit — typically your name, contact information, and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not request, and you should not send, sensitive medical information through the website.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours automatically collects basic technical data when you visit:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location (city/region level)
• Your browser type, operating system, and device type
• The pages you view, how long you spend on each, and how you arrived
• The date and time of your visit

This data is used to operate the site, troubleshoot technical issues, protect against abuse, and understand how visitors use our content so we can improve it. We do not link this data to your identity unless you have separately provided it (for example, by submitting a contact form).

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses minimal cookies and similar technologies. Specifically, our hosting provider uses limited technical cookies for security and performance. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across other websites, or building marketing profiles. Most browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through their settings.

How we use information

We use the information collected through this website for the following purposes only:

• To respond to messages or requests you send us
• To operate, secure, and improve the website
• To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We do not share your information with advertisers or marketing partners.

Third-party services

Our website includes links to services operated by other companies — including but not limited to our Patient Portal, online Bill Pay, our Facebook page, and our Careers listings on Indeed. When you click these links, you leave our website and enter sites that are governed by those companies’ own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies before sharing personal information.

How we protect information

We use commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect information collected through this website against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. The website is served over HTTPS, ensuring that information transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted in transit. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your rights

You may request information about the data we hold about you collected through this website, request that we correct inaccurate information, or request that we delete it. To make a request, contact us using the information below. Please note that some information may be retained for legitimate business reasons, such as accounting records or to comply with legal obligations.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
