Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Empower Fertility & Women’s Health (“Empower,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you provide through our website. This policy applies to information collected through this website. It does not describe how information is handled once you become a patient of Empower, which is subject to applicable privacy requirements and our practice’s privacy policies and procedures.
2. Information You Voluntarily Provide
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through our website, such as your name, email address, phone number, or other information you choose to provide when contacting us. We use this information to respond to your inquiries, communicate with you about scheduling or services, and provide information or resources you have requested. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Please do not submit detailed medical information, medical histories, diagnoses, test results, or other sensitive health information through our website contact forms or general email.
3. Website Analytics and Cookies
Our website may use cookies and analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors use our website and improve its functionality and performance. These tools may collect information such as your device type, browser type, general location, pages visited, and how you interact with the website. You may be able to manage or disable cookies through your internet browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website may link to or integrate with third-party services used to support our practice, including:
Jane App: Our electronic health record and practice management platform used for patient intake, scheduling, and related practice functions.
Fullscript: Our third-party platform for personalized supplement recommendations and purchases.
When you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, any information you provide is subject to that provider’s own privacy policy, terms of service, and security practices. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party service before providing information through its platform.
5. Email and Website Contact Forms Are Not HIPAA-Secure
Please be aware that standard email and website contact forms are not HIPAA-secure methods of communicating sensitive health information. Information submitted through these methods may not have the same privacy and security protections as communications conducted through our designated patient platform. For your privacy and security, please do not send detailed medical histories, diagnoses, laboratory results, treatment information, or other protected health information (PHI) through general email or website contact forms. If you become a patient, we will provide information about the appropriate methods for securely communicating with our practice regarding your care.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect information collected through our website. Our website uses SSL/HTTPS encryption to help protect information transmitted between your browser and our website. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, or applicable requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
