Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Amit Parekh, MD collects, uses, and protects information gathered through amitparekhmd.com (the "Website"). By using this Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to Protected Health Information (PHI). This Website is a marketing and informational site, not a patient portal or clinical record system. Any medical, diagnostic, or treatment-related information you share with us as an actual patient — including during appointments, phone calls, or through our clinical intake and medical record systems — is instead governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided separately at the time you become a patient.
Please do not submit sensitive medical information through this Website's contact or appointment request forms. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. If you use our contact form, appointment request form, or email us directly, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, and any message content you choose to include.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website. This is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies (see "Cookies and Analytics" below).
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, insurance ID numbers, or clinical health information through this Website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
Respond to inquiries and appointment requests
Improve the content, usability, and performance of the Website
Understand how visitors find and use the Website (via analytics)
Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your contact information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.
Cookies and Analytics
This Website may use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site (e.g., which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and what device they use). Google Analytics collects this information in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
[If you run Google Ads / retargeting campaigns, this section should also mention that: "We may also use Google Ads and similar advertising tools to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show relevant ads to prior visitors on other websites."]
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the Website but will not prevent you from viewing its content.
Third-Party Links
This Website may contain links to third-party websites (such as hospital systems, professional societies, or patient education resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
Data Retention
We retain information submitted through contact or appointment forms only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or as required by applicable law, after which it is deleted or archived securely.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we have collected about you through this Website. To make such a request, contact us using the information below.
Children's Privacy
This Website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
