Last Updated: February 2026
Left Hand Chiropractic Center (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or use our online forms.
This policy applies to information collected through this website and related online services. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (explained below).
1) Who We Are (and our website provider)
This website is hosted and maintained with support from Spinealytics (our website and marketing services provider). Spinealytics may process certain information on our behalf to keep the website running, measure performance, and support communications. They are required by contract to safeguard data they handle for us.
2) Information We Collect
A) Information you provide to us
You may choose to submit information such as:
- Name, email address, phone number
- Appointment requests and scheduling details
- Messages you send through forms, chat, or email
- Any details you include in a form field (including health-related details if you choose to share them)
Important: Please do not submit sensitive medical details through website forms unless the form specifically requests it. If you need urgent care, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
B) Information collected automatically
When you browse our site, certain data may be collected automatically, such as:
- IP address, device type, browser type
- Pages visited, time spent, referring/exit pages
- Approximate location (city/region)
- Interaction data (for example, clicks or form-start events)
C) Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Make the site function properly
- Remember preferences
- Understand how people use the site
- Support advertising and measurement (where enabled)
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
3) How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and appointment requests
- Provide customer support and communicate with you
- Improve website performance, content, and user experience
- Measure marketing effectiveness (for example, call clicks or form submissions)
- Maintain website security and prevent fraud or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
4) How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information in limited circumstances, such as:
- Service providers who support our operations (website hosting, analytics, email delivery, scheduling tools). These providers are permitted to use data only to perform services for us.
- Legal and safety reasons if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfers if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (information may be transferred as part of that transaction).
5) HIPAA and Protected Health Information (PHI)
A) HIPAA overview
If you are a patient, we may create, receive, maintain, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) as part of providing care. PHI is health information that can identify you and relates to your health, care, or payment for care.
B) Notice of Privacy Practices
HIPAA requires healthcare providers to provide a separate document called a Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains in detail:
- How your PHI may be used and disclosed
- Your rights regarding your PHI
- Our legal duties regarding PHI
To request a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices, please contact us using the information in Section 12.
C) Website forms and HIPAA
Our website may allow you to request appointments or send messages. If you choose to include health details in these communications, we will treat them appropriately and safeguard them in accordance with applicable requirements. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we encourage you to limit sensitive details unless specifically requested.
6) Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
That said, no website, system, or transmission method can be guaranteed secure. You use this site at your own risk.
7) Your Choices and Rights
A) Marketing communications
If you receive marketing emails from us, you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link (if included) or by contacting us.
B) Cookies and analytics choices
You can:
- Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Use Google’s analytics opt-out options (where applicable)
- Adjust ad preferences on platforms like Google or Meta (where applicable)
C) Access, correction, and deletion
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we hold. We will respond as required by law.
For PHI requests, HIPAA rules apply and will be handled through our Notice of Privacy Practices process.
8) Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (including healthcare recordkeeping obligations).
9) Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our site, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
10) Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites.
11) Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
