Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how JAS MindCare Psychiatry (“JAS MindCare Psychiatry,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information obtained through our website and related online services. This policy is intended for website visitors and is not a substitute for our Notice of Privacy Practices that applies to protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide. Depending on the features of the website, you may voluntarily provide your name, email address, telephone number, preferred contact information, appointment-request information, and other information you submit through contact or scheduling forms.
Information collected automatically. Our website provider and certain service providers may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and approximate usage information. We may use cookies or similar technologies for website functionality, security, analytics, and performance.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to respond to inquiries, facilitate appointment requests, provide and administer website services, maintain website security, improve website performance and content, communicate with you about services you request, comply with legal obligations, and protect our rights and the safety of our patients, visitors, and business.
3. Protected Health Information and HIPAA
Do not use ordinary website forms, email, text messages, or other general website communications to send sensitive medical information unless JAS MindCare Psychiatry has specifically instructed you to do so through a secure, appropriate channel. If you become a patient, certain health information may be protected by HIPAA and other applicable privacy laws. Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices describes how PHI may be used and disclosed and your rights regarding PHI.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, communications, scheduling, technology, security, or other business functions, as permitted by applicable law. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of JAS MindCare Psychiatry or others. We do not sell personal information for money.
5. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, patient portals, scheduling platforms, payment services, social-media pages, or other external services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party sites that we do not control.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain functionality, understand website traffic, and improve the website. You can adjust cookie settings through your browser, although disabling cookies may affect some website features.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of information handled. However, no website, email transmission, or internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide services, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal requirements.
9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning certain personal information, which can include the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information about certain processing. Requests are subject to applicable legal exceptions and verification requirements. Patients should also review the rights described in the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
10. Children
Our services may involve care of minors, but the website is not intended to knowingly collect unnecessary personal information from children. Parents or legal guardians should avoid submitting sensitive health information through general website forms unless specifically directed to use a secure method.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised policy will be posted on this website with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
