Website Privacy Notice
This notice explains what happens to information when you visit polarispsychiatry.com. It covers this website only. How Polaris Psychiatry uses and protects your health information as a patient is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
What this website does not do
This website has no forms, accounts or logins. It does not set cookies, and it does not use analytics, advertising pixels, session recording, chat or booking widgets, maps or other tracking tools. The pages, pictures and fonts all come from this website itself, so visiting a page here does not load anything from another company.
What is collected when you visit
Like any website, this one is delivered by a hosting company, Cloudflare. When your browser requests a page, Cloudflare’s servers receive the technical details every browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. Cloudflare uses this information to deliver the website and protect it from attacks, and may keep it in its logs under its own policies. Polaris Psychiatry does not use this information to identify visitors and does not combine it with any other information.
Links to other websites
Some links on this website go to other organizations’ websites, such as Google (for the new patient request form and maps). When you follow one of those links, that website’s own privacy practices apply.
The new patient request form
The new patient request form is not part of this website. It is a Google form held in the practice’s Google Workspace account, which is covered by a HIPAA business associate agreement with Google. Information you submit through it is handled as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. Google may apply its own sign-in and cookie practices on its pages.
Email may not be secure on its way to us, so please do not include health details in email. New patient information is collected only through the new patient request form.
Emergencies
This website is not a way to receive care, and messages to the practice are not monitored after hours. In an emergency, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Changes to this notice
We update this notice when the website changes.
