Empower Med, PLLC ("Empower Med," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and used through empowermed.us and how website information is separated from protected health information used for clinical care.
Our public consultation form may collect your name, contact information, date of birth, state, service interest, and optional scheduling or nonclinical details you choose to provide. Please do not submit medical history, diagnoses, medication details, laboratory results, or other sensitive clinical information in the public website form. Detailed health information is collected through secure clinical systems.
We may also collect technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, and interactions with the Site through hosting, security, and analytics services.
Information created or received as part of your clinical care may constitute Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is handled according to applicable law and our Notice of Privacy Practices. This website Privacy Policy does not replace that Notice.
We use website information to respond to consultation requests, schedule care, operate and secure the Site, communicate about administrative matters, process permitted transactions, comply with legal obligations, and improve our services. We use clinical information only as permitted by applicable healthcare privacy law and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
We may use service providers for website hosting, analytics, communications, payment processing, electronic health records, laboratories, pharmacies, and other practice operations. When a vendor is a HIPAA business associate, we use a Business Associate Agreement when required by HIPAA. We may also disclose information when required by law or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We do not sell your personal information.
The Site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, and analytics. Browser settings can be used to limit or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some Site functions.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the type of information involved. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We retain information for periods required by law and as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
You may contact us to request access to or correction of website contact information we maintain about you, subject to applicable law. Rights concerning PHI, including access, amendment, restrictions, confidential communications, and complaints, are described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Empower Med's clinical services are intended for adults age 18 and older. We do not knowingly solicit website intake information from children for clinical enrollment.
We may revise this Policy as our services or legal obligations change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
