Effective Date: [PENDING — set on publish]
Draft prepared for Dr. Gregory G. Yu’s review. Will not be published until reviewed and approved by Arlington ER’s legal/compliance advisor.
Arlington ER (“Arlington ER,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website ArlingtonER.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Site, submit a form, or otherwise interact with us online. It applies to website data only. Information about your medical treatment and health records is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, available at our facility and provided at check-in, not by this web policy.
We collect information in a few ways:
Information you provide directly, such as your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and the contents of any message, when you use our Contact Us form, Careers application, or Check-in Now pre-registration form.
Automatic information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site, collected through standard web analytics.
We do not knowingly collect protected health information (PHI) through general website browsing. Health-related details you voluntarily submit through the Check-in Now form are used solely to prepare for your visit and are handled consistent with our HIPAA obligations.
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, process job applications, prepare for your visit if you use Check-in Now, improve our Site and the accuracy of our content, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
As a healthcare provider, Arlington ER is required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our full HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how your medical information may be used and disclosed and describes your rights regarding that information, is available upon request at our facility and is provided to every patient at check-in. If you have questions about your medical records or HIPAA rights specifically, please contact us directly rather than relying on this website policy.
Our Site may use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve its content and performance. These tools collect aggregate, non-identifying usage data. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some Site features may not function as intended if you do.
Our Site may link to third-party websites, such as our social media pages, our Google Business Profile, or the Sunbit payment platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through our Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you submit online.
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through general website use. Information about a minor patient submitted by a parent or guardian, such as through the Check-in Now form, is treated as part of that patient’s protected health information under HIPAA, not as website data covered here.
You may choose not to provide certain information, though this may limit our ability to respond to your inquiry or process your request. To ask us to correct, update, or delete website information you’ve submitted, contact us using the information below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
