Who we are
At Amrit Mind & Body Psychiatry, we respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal and health information seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs how we handle your protected health information as a patient, and which we provide separately at your first visit.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways when you visit our website or contact our office.
Information you give us directly: When you fill out a contact form, request an appointment, or email our office, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, phone number, email address, and any message you include. We ask that you avoid including detailed medical history or sensitive health information in website contact forms or emails, since these channels are not secure enough for that level of detail. We discuss your medical history directly during your appointment instead.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our site automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and general location, along with pages you view and how you navigate our site. We collect this through standard analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it over time.
Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support basic site functionality and to gather anonymous analytics about site usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended if you do.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and schedule appointments
- Communicate with you about our services
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Meet legal, regulatory, and administrative requirements
- Protect the security and integrity of our website
We do not use information submitted through our website to make clinical decisions about your care. Clinical information is collected and protected separately, in accordance with HIPAA, once you become a patient.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- With service providers who help us operate our website, such as hosting or analytics providers, under agreements that require them to protect your information
- When required by law, such as in response to a valid legal request
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of our practice, our patients, or others
- With your consent, or at your direction
Protected health information related to your care as a patient is handled separately under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, not under this website privacy policy.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
You can choose not to provide certain information, though this may limit our ability to respond to your inquiry or schedule your appointment. You can also:
- Ask us what personal information we have collected about you through our website
- Request that we correct inaccurate information
- Request that we delete information you have submitted through our website, where applicable
- Opt out of non essential cookies through your browser settings
To make any of these requests, contact our office using the information below.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact our office so we can remove it.
Third Party Links
Our website may contain links to third party websites, such as our online scheduling portal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
