Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Suzanne A. Trott, M.D., F.A.C.S., a professional medical corporation ("Dr. Trott," "we," "us," or "our"), handles information collected through the website at drtrott.com (the "Site"). It does not apply to Protected Health Information ("PHI") created or received in the course of treatment, which is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices provided at the office.

We collect information you choose to provide, including when you:

• Submit a consultation request or contact form (name, email, phone, message, area of interest).
• Subscribe to email communications.
• Call or text the practice using the numbers on the Site.

We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the Site, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and timestamps. This is collected through standard server logs and analytics cookies.

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to consultation requests and schedule appointments.
• Send appointment-related and educational communications you have requested.
• Operate, secure, and improve the Site.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of the practice and the public.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share information you submit through the Site with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Information you submit through a website form is not a secure channel and should not include sensitive medical history. Please do not transmit Protected Health Information through the Site. Once you become a patient, any PHI created or maintained in the course of your care is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") and our office's separate Notice of Privacy Practices.

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and to measure how visitors interact with pages (for example, Google Analytics or similar). You may disable cookies in your browser; some features may not function as intended. We honor Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals where applicable.

We use vetted third-party service providers to operate the Site (hosting, analytics, email delivery, scheduling, and similar). These providers process information only as necessary to perform their services and are contractually required to protect it. The Site may also link to third-party platforms (e.g., Instagram). This policy does not cover their practices.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the Site. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information submitted through the Site only as long as needed to respond to your request, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you the right to (1) know what personal information we collect and how we use it, (2) request a copy of your personal information, (3) request deletion or correction of your personal information, and (4) opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
