How information is handled on this public website

Information that may be processed

The hosting server may record an IP address, browser, device, date, time, requested page, and security information. When a person calls, sends a general email, or uses an external scheduling system, information is processed through the selected method.

This website intentionally does not include a form for symptoms, diagnoses, medications, medical photographs, insurance cards, or other clinical details.

How information may be used

• Operate, protect, and improve the website
• Respond to general contact or appointment requests
• Detect errors, abuse, or security risks
• Meet legal obligations and document privacy preferences

Analytics and cookies

Optional analytics is currently disabled because no valid measurement ID has been configured.

Accepting a cookie notice does not authorize the disclosure of protected health information. Tracking tools must not receive clinical information, appointment details, or patient identifiers.

Vendors and external links

Hosting, security, scheduling, maps, the patient portal, and other services may operate under their own policies. Vendors should be appropriate for the information they receive.

External links are provided for convenience. AVA Medical Center does not control their privacy practices.

Security, retention, and choices

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no public website can guarantee absolute security. Information is retained only as long as needed for its purpose, legal requirements, security, and dispute resolution.

You may block cookies in your browser, decline optional analytics, and contact the practice for information about this policy.

Children’s privacy

The website is intended for patients and families seeking healthcare information. It is not designed for minors to submit personal information without a parent or guardian’s involvement.
