Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to the public Mobile Podiatry NYC website. It describes website and contact information practices. It does not replace the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information handled for treatment, payment, and health care operations.

2. Information you may provide

You may provide information when you request an appointment, send an email, call the practice, or complete patient paperwork. This may include your name, contact details, preferred office, insurance information, appointment details, and information you choose to share about the reason for your visit.

Web hosting systems may also create technical logs containing an IP address, browser or device type, requested pages, dates, and error information. Embedded maps, fonts, or linked social platforms may receive information according to their own privacy policies.

3. How information may be used

• Respond to questions and appointment requests.
• Coordinate care and office communications.
• Verify insurance or prepare for a requested visit.
• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
• Meet legal, regulatory, recordkeeping, and safety obligations.

4. Service providers and disclosures

Information may be handled by vendors that support website hosting, email, communications, scheduling, security, or other practice operations. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect patients or others, or as otherwise permitted under applicable health privacy rules.

Links to maps, social media, and external medical resources lead to services controlled by other organizations. Their policies govern information collected on their websites.

5. Retention and security

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable legal, clinical, accounting, or security requirements. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website, email, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

6. Your choices

You may choose not to provide information through the website and contact the practice by phone instead. You may also ask questions about your information or request updates to contact details by using the contact information below. Rights relating to medical records are described in the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

7. Children’s information

This website is intended for patients and caregivers seeking practice information. A parent or legal guardian should communicate on behalf of a minor when appropriate.

8. HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

This website privacy policy is not the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. A copy of the practice’s current Notice of Privacy Practices is available from the office upon request. Contact the practice if you need a copy or have a question about protected health information.

9. Policy changes

This policy may be updated as website services, vendors, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the latest version.
