Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Dr. Shahin Ghadir's practice ("we," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website, contact us through a form, or interact with our team electronically. It does not cover protected health information (PHI) collected during clinical care, which is governed by HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

• Information you submit through inquiry forms (name, email, phone, message, subject).
• The page you submitted from, to help us route your inquiry correctly.
• Standard log data your browser sends (IP address, user agent, referrer).
• Cookies and similar technologies used to operate the site and measure aggregate traffic.

• To respond to your inquiry and follow up about scheduling, services, or media questions.
• To improve the content and structure of the website.
• To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, or security incidents.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers who help operate this site (such as our hosting and database provider) under written agreements that limit their use to providing those services, and as required by law.

Inquiries are stored in a database protected by row-level security policies and accessed only by authorized practice staff. We use TLS encryption in transit and follow accepted practices for credential, key, and access management. No system is perfectly secure, and we encourage you not to send sensitive medical information through web forms.

Inquiries are retained as long as necessary to respond and to keep a reasonable record of communication. You may request deletion at any time using the contact information below.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time.

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
