Welcome to https://floridaweightlossmd.com (the “Website”), operated by Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center. This Website Privacy Notice is part of our Terms of Service and explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our online services. By using this Website, you agree to the practices described in this Notice.
We do not knowingly interact with patients through this Website, nor do we knowingly collect data from children or minors under the age of 18. If we learn that information has been collected from a minor without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it as quickly as possible.
We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information collected through the Website. However, we may share such information with trusted third parties who assist in operating our Website and services—strictly under written agreements of confidentiality.
We implement a range of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. This includes data encryption via 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) during transmission and secured messaging platforms when sensitive information is exchanged. While these measures enhance data protection, please note that complete confidentiality over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. If you prefer, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this notice.
We gather non-identifiable, aggregated data on Website usage such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, referral sources, time spent on the Website, and similar analytics. This data is used solely to improve user experience and site performance and is not linked to any individual identity.
We only collect personally identifiable information when you voluntarily submit it through forms or other text fields on the Website. Except where required for specific Website features or services, we do not collect identifying information without your consent.
Standard web logs are maintained to help us manage and improve our services. These logs may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, date and time of access, pages viewed, referring websites, and, if applicable, login information. Logs are stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel.
We may use third-party vendors to manage email communications. These vendors may access email addresses solely to send communications on our behalf. Clicking links in our emails may temporarily redirect you through these vendors for tracking purposes. You may unsubscribe from future communications at any time by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If you opt-in to receive SMS communications, we may collect your phone number to send appointment reminders, service updates, or related information. Phone numbers collected for SMS communication purposes will not be shared with any third party or affiliate for marketing purposes.
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying "STOP" to a message you receive from us.
Occasionally, we may invite users to participate in surveys to help improve our Website. These surveys may include demographic questions, but they do not request personal medical information. Your responses are used for internal quality and research purposes only.
Messages you send to us through contact forms, secure messaging, or email are shared with the appropriate internal staff to respond to your inquiry. Messages may be archived after a response is provided.
If you make a payment through our Website, your credit card information will be handled securely. Only enter payment details on secure pages, identified by URLs that begin with “https://”. We never recommend entering card details on any non-secure webpage.
We may disclose personal information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or to protect our legal rights or the safety of others. We may also share information with vendors or consultants performing services on our behalf, provided they agree not to further disclose the data.
Non-identifiable, aggregated data may be shared for analysis, research, or service improvements.
If you’ve subscribed to any of our communications, you can opt out at any time. Email communications include an unsubscribe link, and SMS communications can be stopped by replying "STOP." If you've signed up for multiple services, you may need to unsubscribe from each individually.
We are committed to ensuring our Website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our content supports browser resizing for font size, uses ALT tags on images for screen readers, and follows standards for accessible links.
