Privacy Policy

Effective date August 4, 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

This Website Privacy Policy applies to the online properties operated by Magnolia Gynecology, LLC, including www.magnoliagynecology.com

This policy governs solely the collection, use, and protection of technical data gathered during your visit to our Websites.

  • Important Distinction: The protection of your medical records and Protected Health Information (PHI) is strictly governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. This Website Privacy Policy applies only to general website visitor data.

2. Strict Prohibition of PHI Collection via the Websites

To maintain the highest standards of privacy and HIPAA compliance, our Websites are intentionally designed to prevent the collection of personal health data:

  • No Native Forms: We do not host direct contact forms, medical questionnaires, or appointment request forms on our Websites.
  • No Invasive Tracking: We have strictly disabled third-party advertising, social media tracking pixels, and behavioral retargeting tools. Your visit to our Websites is never shared with external advertising platforms.

3. Information We Collect and Cookie Management

We collect only the minimum technical data required for our Websites to function securely.

  • Automatically Collected Log Data: Our secure hosting infrastructure automatically records basic, non-personally identifiable information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and timestamp of your visit. This data is used exclusively for cybersecurity monitoring and website stability.
  • Interactive Cookie Consent Banner: When you arrive at our Websites, you are presented with a cookie consent banner. We operate on a strict "opt-in" basis for non-essential cookies. You have complete control to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on our Websites.

4. No Sale of Personal Information and "Do Not Track"

  • No Sale of Data: Magnolia Gynecology, LLC does not sell, rent, or trade your website visitor data to any third parties under any circumstances.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): We respect your privacy across all devices. Because we do not engage in cross-site behavioral tracking, our Websites naturally comply with "Do Not Track" (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals transmitted by your browser.

5. Secure Third-Party Patient Portals

To facilitate patient care, our Websites provide links to external, HIPAA-compliant patient portals for scheduling, medical messaging, and intake forms.

  • Clicking these links redirects you away from our general Websites and into secure environments governed by strict HIPAA regulations and their own distinct privacy policies. We hold no liability for the data practices of external platforms.

6. Data Security and Retention

  • Security Measures: All data transmitted between your browser and our Websites is protected using industry-standard encryption (SSL/HTTPS) and hosted on secure infrastructure.
  • Data Retention: General website log data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the technical and security purposes outlined in this policy, after which it is routinely deleted or anonymized.

7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our Websites are not directed at, nor do we knowingly collect website data from, children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has transmitted personal data through our Websites, we will take immediate action to delete it.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the technical website data we have collected about your visit. Because we collect minimal, largely anonymous data, fulfilling such requests will be subject to our ability to verify your identity against the technical logs.

9. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this Website Privacy Policy to reflect evolving legal, technical, or regulatory standards. Any modifications will be published on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
