Privacy Policy

This policy covers the https://meridianspine.com website. Protected health information created during your care is handled separately under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which you receive at your first visit and can request a copy of at any time.

What this website collects

• Form submissions. Name, phone, email, and whatever you write in the message field when you use the booking or contact form.
• Basic analytics. Pages viewed, approximate region, referring site, and device type — in aggregate, not tied to your identity.
• Nothing else. We do not run advertising pixels, cross-site trackers, or data broker scripts on this site.

Why we collect it

Form data is used to contact you about your request and, if you become a patient, to create your record. Analytics tell us which pages people find useful so we can write better ones. That is the whole list.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your information. Not to anyone, for any price.
• We do not share it with marketing partners or data brokers.
• We do not add you to a mailing list because you filled in a booking form.
• We do not use health information you disclose in a form for advertising.

Who processes data on our behalf

Form submissions are transmitted through Web3Forms and delivered to our clinic email. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Both process data on our instruction only. Our practice management and records systems are separate, HIPAA-covered, and not connected to this website.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not become appointments are deleted within 12 months. Patient records are retained as required by Ohio law and professional standards — generally seven years from the last date of service, longer for minors.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete anything not subject to a legal retention requirement. Emailhello@meridianspine.com and we will respond within 30 days. You do not need to give a reason.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Any cookies present are strictly necessary for the site to function. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Children

This website is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them through it. Care for minors is arranged by a parent or guardian.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. Material changes will be noted on the homepage for 30 days.
