4. Health Information and HIPAA

Information that constitutes protected health information (“PHI”) is handled in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws.

The privacy practices governing PHI maintained by Eastview Medical Psychiatry PLLC are described in our Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA).

The Website Privacy Policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices serve different purposes. The Notice of Privacy Practices governs how Eastview Medical Psychiatry PLLC may use and disclose PHI and describes patients’ rights regarding that information.

5. How Information May Be Shared

We may share information with service providers that assist with website hosting, communications, security, technology, and other operational functions when reasonably necessary to provide those services and as permitted by applicable law.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, including to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful government requests, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or security incidents, or establish or defend legal claims.

6. Website Forms and Appointment Requests

Information submitted through a website form may be used to respond to your inquiry, determine appropriate next steps, assist with scheduling, or communicate with you regarding requested services.

Submitting a website form or requesting an appointment does not by itself establish a provider-patient relationship and does not guarantee that Orlin Mental Health or Eastview Medical Psychiatry PLLC will accept you as a patient.

7. Cookies and Website Technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, and performance.

Orlin Mental Health may add analytics, advertising, conversion-tracking, CAPTCHA, scheduling, customer relationship management, or other website technologies in the future. If additional technologies are implemented, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate to reflect the technologies and information practices actually in use.

The use of any technology involving PHI will be evaluated and managed in accordance with applicable privacy and security requirements.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and as required or permitted by applicable law.

Medical records and PHI are maintained in accordance with applicable healthcare record-retention requirements and the policies of Eastview Medical Psychiatry PLLC.
