Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) of your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including if you are logged in.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.

For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete your personal data, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

All clients have access to a private client portal for managing payments, appointments, messages, and other account-related activities. The same privacy rules apply within the portal, and all data there—as well as information shared during phone calls—is protected under HIPAA guidelines.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data in the client portal is held in strict confidence and is fully protected under PMI HIPAA guidelines.
