1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

ManUP + WomanUP Wellness respects your privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting personal and health related information.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit our website, contact our office, or submit a consultation request.

We are committed to handling information responsibly and complying with applicable federal and Missouri privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), where applicable.

This website Privacy Policy supplements, but does not replace, our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how protected health information is used and disclosed in connection with healthcare services.

2. Information We Collect

When you interact with our website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Full name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • General service interests

  • Consultation requests

  • Information submitted through contact forms

  • Other information you voluntarily communicate to our office

We may also collect limited technical information, depending on our website configuration, including browser type, device information, referring website, and information about website usage.

We request that visitors avoid including sensitive medical information, detailed symptoms, diagnoses, medication information, or other confidential health records in general website contact forms.

3. How We Use Your Information

Information collected through our website may be used to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests

  • Contact you regarding appointment availability

  • Provide information about requested services

  • Coordinate communications with our office

  • Maintain and improve website functionality

  • Protect against unauthorized or fraudulent activity

  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We will not use protected health information for marketing activities that require HIPAA authorization without obtaining the necessary authorization.

4. Consultation Requests and Online Forms

Our website may allow visitors to request consultations for ManUP or WomanUP services.

Submitting a consultation request does not establish a provider and patient relationship, guarantee an appointment, or constitute medical advice.

Information submitted through consultation forms will be handled according to applicable privacy requirements and our actual information handling practices.

We encourage visitors to provide only the information necessary for our team to respond to a scheduling inquiry.

Please do not submit detailed medical histories or sensitive health information through a general contact form.

5. Protected Health Information and HIPAA

When applicable, ManUP + WomanUP Wellness protects individually identifiable health information in accordance with HIPAA and other applicable laws.

Protected health information may include information concerning an individual's health, healthcare services, treatment, or payment for healthcare when maintained or transmitted by a HIPAA covered entity or its business associates.

Our separate Notice of Privacy Practices explains the circumstances under which protected health information may be used or disclosed, including treatment, payment, healthcare operations, and other purposes permitted or required by law.

It also describes patient rights regarding access, amendments, restrictions, confidential communications, and complaints.

6. Information Sharing and Service Providers

We may use third party service providers to support website hosting, communications, scheduling, technical maintenance, and other business functions.

We limit disclosures of personal information as required by applicable law.

When a service provider creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information on our behalf and qualifies as a HIPAA business associate, we will obtain the required Business Associate Agreement and implement applicable safeguards.

We do not sell protected health information.

We do not disclose protected health information to advertising or analytics providers except as permitted by applicable law or with any authorization legally required.

7. Website Security

We recognize the importance of protecting information collected through our website.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved, subject to verification of our actual systems and procedures.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For sensitive medical information, patients should use communication methods specifically approved by our office.

8. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential functionality, understand general website performance, and improve the visitor experience.

The specific technologies used depend on the website's active configuration.

Where website analytics, advertising pixels, or other tracking technologies are enabled, we evaluate their use under applicable privacy requirements.

We do not authorize tracking technologies to collect or disclose protected health information in violation of HIPAA.

Additional information about cookies or applicable privacy choices may be provided through website settings or notices.

9. Email, Telephone, and Electronic Communications

If you provide contact information, our team may use it to respond to your inquiry or coordinate consultation scheduling.

Ordinary email and text messaging may not provide the same protections as a secure patient communication system.

We encourage patients not to transmit sensitive medical information through unsecured communication channels.

Where HIPAA applies, requests for confidential communications will be addressed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the information involved and applicable law, you may have rights to:

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third party websites.

We encourage visitors to review their privacy policies before submitting personal information.

12. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended to provide general information about wellness services and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through our general website forms without any consent required by applicable law.
