This Privacy Policy explains how Turner Medical Arts (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information through this website, turnermedicalarts.com. It also describes the choices you have, including rights available to California residents.
Your Health Information Is Protected Separately
As a medical practice, we protect patient health information as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. How we use and disclose your health information as a patient is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is also available at our office. This Privacy Policy covers information collected through the website.
Please do not send detailed medical information through website forms or email. Share only what we need to schedule your visit, and we will discuss your health with you directly. In an emergency, call 911.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you request an appointment, contact us, RSVP for an event, or sign up for email updates, we collect what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, preferred location or service, and your message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, our hosting provider and the site itself record standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to run, secure, and improve the website.
Cookies and analytics
With your permission, we use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the website. These tools use cookies and similar technologies. They load only after you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time using the Your Privacy Choices link at the bottom of every page.
Some pages include content from other services, such as embedded maps, videos, or social media links. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your requests and schedule appointments
- To communicate with you about your visit, our services, and events
- To send email updates if you sign up (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
- To comply with legal obligations
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the website and our practice (for example, website hosting, email, and analytics providers), who may use it only to provide services to us; when required by law; or to protect the rights and safety of our patients, staff, and others.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you
- Request a copy of that information
- Request that we correct or delete it, subject to legal exceptions (for example, medical records we are required to keep)
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
We do not sell personal information, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. Analytics cookies load only with your consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time through Your Privacy Choices.

California “Shine the Light.” We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep website information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law. Patient records are kept according to medical record retention requirements.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to this website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, which is one reason we ask you not to send detailed medical information through website forms.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through the website.
Links to Other Websites
Our website links to other websites, such as online stores and social media. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies.
