Restoration Psychiatry is sensitive to protecting the privacy of our website visitors. The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to let you know how Restoration Psychiatry handles information received from you through this website, as well as inform you of the risks involved when you communicate or provide information by way of the Internet.

During your visit to Restoration Psychiatry's website, remember that the medical and health information presented here is intended to be general in nature and should not be viewed as a substitute for professional advice. Please consult with a healthcare professional for all matters relating to personal medical and health care issues.

Health and Medical Information

Certain health and medical information about you is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and applicable state law. This information may be provided by you online or offline or may be collected by us through other methods such as through a healthcare provider. Restoration Psychiatry protects covered health and medical information as required by HIPAA and applicable state law. Similarly, Restoration Psychiatry may use covered health and medical information as permitted by HIPAA and applicable state law.

Security/Confidentiality

No transmission of data over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure.

Information Collection and Storage

Personally Identifiable Information

Restoration Psychiatry does not collect information that personally identifies you unless you choose to provide it to Restoration Psychiatry (for example, Web pages that allow you to register for a webinar, complete an online application, or send an email message). The personal information you submit is shared only with those people at Restoration Psychiatry who need this information to respond to your question or request, and as otherwise permitted by law to allow Restoration Psychiatry to operate our business or comply with applicable laws.

As used in this Privacy Statement, personal information does not include information protected under HIPAA or applicable state laws, which is protected as described in the section “Health and Medical Information” above.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Restoration Psychiatry collects information that does not personally identify you for various purposes (for example, website usage, traffic patterns, site performance, and related statistics based on your visits to our website).

Restoration Psychiatry collects some of this information using persistent “cookies” to recognize a repeat visitor and gather general information about how the site is viewed. Restoration Psychiatry also collects and logs the IP address of each visitor to gather aggregate data on visitors to our site. Keep in mind that neither cookies nor IP addresses are used to collect any personal information from you.

These tools help us understand how visitors interact with our website and enable us to deliver targeted advertising across various digital platforms. Information collected through these tracking tools may include IP addresses, device information, browsing activity, and interactions with our website.

You can manage your cookie preferences or opt out of certain tracking by adjusting your browser settings or using tools provided by Facebook, Meta, and Google.

Email

Most email does not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It is possible that your email could be viewed inappropriately by another Internet user. If you choose to provide us with your email, any misaddressing may result in others intercepting, altering, forwarding, or using the information without authorization. If you wish to keep your information completely private, you should not use email.

At times, a representative from Restoration Psychiatry's website may wish to deliver information to you via email. In addition, Restoration Psychiatry's Marketing and Communications Department may occasionally distribute news and announcements via email. Please note, Restoration Psychiatry does not sell, trade, or otherwise share our email lists with others. You may remove your name from any list you have registered for using our website’s established method.

If you receive email at work, your employer may have the right to save and read your email; similarly, your Internet service provider may have the right to save and read your email. If you share your email account, others may view your emails. Email can be used unknowingly to spread computer viruses.
