At DC Family Chiropractic, we care for patients of every age, from expecting moms and newborns to grandparents, and we take the trust you place in us seriously. This privacy policy explains what information our website collects when you visit, how we use it, who helps us run the site, and the choices you have.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we never use it for advertising.
This Website and Your Patient Records
This policy covers dcfamchiro.com only. Our website is not part of your patient record, and it is not designed to receive health information.
- Health information that becomes part of your care in our office is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Colorado law. How we use and share it is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which you may request at our front desk at any time.
- Visiting our website, reading our articles, or sending us a message through our contact form does not create a patient record.
- Please do not send dates of birth, insurance or Social Security numbers, medical history, or medication lists through our website or by email. Call our office instead and we will take care of you directly.
Information You Give Us
When you fill out our contact form, we collect only what you choose to enter:
- Your first and last name
- Your email address and phone number
- Your message
Your message is saved in our website's secure content management system and emailed to our office so we can reply. We use it only to answer your question or help you schedule a visit.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours automatically collects some technical information when you visit:
- Pages you view and how long you stay on them
- How you found our website (for example, a search engine or a link on social media)
- General location, such as city and state
- Type of device, browser, operating system, and screen size
- Your IP address and the date and time of your visit
We use this information only in summary form, to learn which pages are helpful to families in our community and to keep the website working well. It is not connected to your patient record.
Website Analytics
We use two analytics services to understand how visitors use our website:
- Google Analytics: Loaded through Google Tag Manager, it measures visits, pages viewed, and how visitors arrived. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes data under Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out on any website with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Matomo: A privacy-focused analytics platform hosted by our web designer, Sagentic Web Design, on its own servers rather than by an advertising company. Matomo anonymizes your IP address, and it does not track you at all if your browser sends a "Do Not Track" request.
We never send your name, email address, phone number, form messages, or any health information to these analytics services.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Our website uses them to count visits for analytics and to keep the site working properly. They do not contain your name or health information.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. The website will still work if you do.
Other Services on Our Website
A few features of our website come from other companies. When you use them, those companies may receive information such as your IP address and browser type under their own privacy policies:
- Online Appointment Booking: Our "Book Appointment" buttons open a scheduling page run by ChiroTouch, our practice management provider. Information you enter there goes to ChiroTouch and our office, not to this website.
- Google Maps: The map showing our office location is provided by Google.
- Google Fonts and Font Awesome: These services supply the lettering and icons you see on our pages.
- Facebook and Google Reviews: Links to our Facebook page and to leave a review take you to those websites, where their own policies apply.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them.
Children and Families
We are proud to care for children, but our website is meant for parents and guardians. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them online. If you are scheduling care for your child, please have a parent or guardian contact us. If you believe a child has sent us information through our website, contact us and we will delete it.
How We Protect Your Information
Our website uses SSL encryption (the padlock in your browser's address bar) for every page and form, and access to messages sent through our website is limited to our office team and our web designer. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, which is one more reason we ask that you never send health details through our website.
Your Choices
- Opt out of Google Analytics with the add-on linked above, or block cookies in your browser.
- Turn on "Do Not Track" in your browser, and Matomo will not record your visits.
- Ask us what information you sent through our website, or ask us to correct or delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our website or the services we use change. The newest version will always be posted on this page with the date it was last updated.
