Information We Collect
Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, certain information is collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the links and buttons you click, how long you spend on the site, and the website or advertisement that referred you here. Some of this information is collected by third-party tools described below.
Information you choose to give us
If you fill out and submit our contact form, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, phone number, and email address. Submitting the form is entirely optional.
Advertising and Website Tracking
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. To measure whether our advertising works, this website uses the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API, tools provided by Meta Platforms, Inc.
These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how you interact with this site, including which pages you visit, which buttons you click, and whether you submit a form. They also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type, and general geographic location.
We do not send Meta the contents of any form you submit to us. Your name, phone number, and email address are not transmitted to Meta. Meta is informed that a form submission occurred, but not who submitted it or what it contained.
We use this information to measure advertising performance and to show ads to people who have visited this site or who may have similar interests. Information shared with Meta is used by Meta in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy. We do not control how Meta uses this information.
You can manage how ads are shown to you at https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences, or limit tracking through your browser’s cookie and privacy settings. Some parts of this site may not function normally if tracking is blocked. You are also always welcome to call our office directly instead of using the form.
About Our Contact Form
Using the contact form on this website is optional. The form is provided and processed by Jotform, a third-party form service. When you submit the form, your information is transmitted through Jotform’s systems and then delivered to our office. Jotform handles that information under its own privacy policy and terms of service.
This form is intended only for contact and scheduling. It is not a secure channel for health information, and you should not treat it as one. Please do not include details about your symptoms, medical condition, diagnosis, treatment history, medications, or any other sensitive health information in the form. Give us your name and the best way to reach you, and we will discuss everything else with you directly.
Contacting Us by Phone
You are always welcome to call our office at 732-389-2800 instead of using the form. Information you discuss with us by phone in connection with your care is handled by our practice in accordance with HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices. The advertising tools described above do not have access to the contents of a phone call.
HIPAA and Your Health Information
This privacy policy covers information collected through this website. It is a separate document from our Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how our practice handles protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
If you become a patient of our practice, information about your care is governed by HIPAA and by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to you at your first visit and is available on request. Information submitted through this website before you become a patient is not protected in the same way, which is why we ask that you not include health details in the contact form.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, contact you about scheduling, and communicate with you about care at our office. We use automatically collected information to understand how this website is used, to measure the performance of our advertising, and to improve the site.
Who We Share Your Information With
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with data brokers.
We share information only with service providers who help us operate this website and communicate with you — including our website host, our form provider (Jotform), and our email provider — and with Meta Platforms in connection with the advertising tools described above. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and to maintain records of our communications. If you become a patient, records relating to your care are retained according to the requirements that apply to health care records in New Jersey. You may ask us to delete a form submission by contacting us at the phone number or email address above.
Age Requirement
This website is intended for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older to submit information through any form on this site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
Cookies
This site uses cookies — small files stored by your browser. Some are necessary for the site to function. Others are placed by the advertising and analytics tools described above and are used to recognize returning visitors and measure advertising performance.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of this site work.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos. Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you had visited that website directly. Those websites may collect information about you, set their own cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this website. However, no method of transmitting information over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information sent to us electronically. Please do not send sensitive health information by web form or unencrypted email. Call our office instead.
Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you, to request a copy of it, or to request that we delete it. This does not apply to information we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or health care recordkeeping purposes.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information under state law. Contact us using the information above and we will respond as required.
Links to Other Websites
This site may link to other websites, including mapping and directory services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites we do not operate. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
No Medical Advice
The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Individual results vary. No specific outcome is promised or guaranteed. Whether a particular treatment is appropriate for you can only be determined through an examination.
