1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Dr. Brad Morris and the associated virtual functional medicine practice ("we," "us," "our," or the "Practice") collect, use, disclose, and protect information you provide when you visit our website, submit a form, request a consultation, or otherwise interact with us. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact information — such as your name, email address, phone number, and preferred contact time, when you submit a consultation request or newsletter sign-up form.
- Health-related information you voluntarily provide — such as a general description of your symptoms or health concerns submitted through our intake or consultation request forms.
- Website usage data — such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and general location, collected automatically through standard analytics technology.
- Communications — records of correspondence you have with our care team by phone, email, or online form.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to consultation requests and schedule appointments;
- Communicate with you about our services, your inquiry, or your care;
- Improve our website, content, and services;
- Send occasional educational content or updates, if you have opted in to our newsletter;
- Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and telehealth requirements.
4. Health Information & HIPAA
Any protected health information ("PHI") created or received in connection with an actual clinical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment relationship is handled in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable state law, and is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided directly to patients upon establishing care. General information submitted through this public website (such as a brief description of symptoms in a discovery-consultation request) is used solely to facilitate scheduling and initial outreach, and is treated with the same degree of care and confidentiality.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate our website, scheduling, and communications (e.g., secure form-processing, email, and telehealth platforms), under confidentiality obligations;
- Care team members involved in coordinating or providing your consultation;
- Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Practice or others.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand site usage and improve the visitor experience. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain communications. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below. You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain accurate business and clinical records, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations, after which it is securely deleted or de-identified.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 through this website.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law.
