Privacy Policy

How information is handled when you visit or contact this website.

This Privacy Policy describes how DecaturPlasticSurg.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with this website. For privacy questions or requests, email contact@decaturplasticsurg.com.

Information we receive

Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, any name or contact details you provide, your message, attachments, and related correspondence. Please avoid sending medical records, personal health photographs, insurance details, or other sensitive information. The website contact address is not a patient portal.

Technical information. Visiting a website involves transmitting information such as your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, referring address, and access times. Our hosting, website, and security services may process this information to deliver pages, maintain records, and prevent misuse. Searches you perform on the site may also appear in request logs.

Analytics and cookies

This site uses Jetpack Stats, provided by Automattic, to understand visits and interactions such as page views and link clicks. The service processes technical and usage information, which can include IP addresses, browser details, referring pages, and approximate location derived from an IP address. See Automattic’s notice for visitors to websites using its services for its data practices.

WordPress, analytics, and website security features may use cookies or similar technologies, depending on the feature and your interaction with it. Cookies are small files stored in a browser. Some features may also send usage requests without storing a cookie.

You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. This may affect some website functions and does not, by itself, prevent all server logging or analytics requests. Automattic describes its technologies and available controls in its Cookie Policy.

How information is used

  • To receive and respond to website questions, feedback, and privacy requests.
  • To investigate reported errors, broken links, and technical problems.
  • To understand readership and improve the website’s content and usability.
  • To operate and protect the website, prevent abuse, and address legal obligations.

Service providers and sharing

Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, email delivery, website security, maintenance, and analytics. These providers receive the information needed for their services; their own notices may also apply. Providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, security, or safety. A message to our contact address is not permission to pass your details to a clinic or an advertiser for marketing.

Email and text messages

Sending a website inquiry does not enroll you in an email or text marketing list. This policy does not serve as consent to receive promotional messages.

If we introduce a newsletter, downloadable guide with signup, or text message program, the signup notice will explain what information is collected and which communications are offered. We will update this policy to reflect the services and providers involved. A future text subscription will require its own clear signup choice.

Retention and security

We retain correspondence and other information for as long as reasonably needed to handle the inquiry, operate and protect the website, maintain relevant records, or meet applicable obligations. Retention can vary by information type and service provider; backup copies may remain until the provider’s backup cycle expires.

No website, email system, or method of storage can be guaranteed completely secure. Please limit the personal information you send and do not use ordinary email to send confidential medical information.

Your choices

You may browse the public guides without emailing us. You may also contact us to ask about personal information you have provided or to request access, correction, or deletion. The rights available to you depend on applicable law and your circumstances.

Use “Privacy request” in the subject line. We may need to verify your request before acting, and some records may need to be retained for legal or security reasons. Please do not send identity documents unless we have first explained why verification is necessary and arranged an appropriate method.

Children’s information

The website is intended for a general adult audience, including adults researching care options for their families. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and address it.

External websites

Our guides link to other websites, including medical organizations and healthcare resources. Those websites operate under their own privacy policies. Review their practices before providing personal information.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the website and its services change. The date above identifies the latest update. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for relevant changes.
