How We Store and Protect Your Data
​
We process and store data using the following providers: Wix (Website hosting and services), Google (analytics and advertising technologies), and Meta (Meta Pixel and advertising technologies). Please visit their individual websites for information on where their servers are located.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information, including electronic protected health information, in accordance with applicable law.

In the event of a breach affecting your Personal Information, we will provide notification as required under Florida law, including the Florida Information Protection Act, and, where applicable, HIPAA.
​
Data Retention
​
We maintain Personal Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete it, except that certain information must be retained for longer periods when required by applicable law, including healthcare, medical record, financial, or other legal or regulatory requirements.
Florida law generally requires medical records for adult patients to be retained for a minimum period following the last patient contact, and records for minor patients to be retained until a specified age or period, whichever is longer; our medical record retention practices follow these requirements regardless of any deletion request applicable to nonclinical Website data.
Children's and Minors' Information
Our Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 through the Website outside the context of a parent or guardian completing intake or registration on a minor patient's behalf.
Where a parent or guardian submits information about a minor patient for purposes of scheduling or providing care, that information is handled as part of the minor's medical record in accordance with our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law.
Email Marketing
If you make a purchase on this Website, download a free resource in exchange for your email address, or opt in to receive emails, you agree to receive email communications from us, including newsletters, site updates, promotions, and other announcements.
We are not responsible for the receipt of any such emails; you are responsible for ensuring our email address is not blocked or routed to spam.
You may stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes at any time. Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not necessarily prevent us from sending nonmarketing communications relating to appointments, transactions, services, memberships, or other matters associated with your relationship with Beach Medical.
​
SMS and Text Marketing
​
If you provide your mobile telephone number and opt in to receive SMS or text marketing communications from Beach Medical, you agree to receive communications consistent with the consent you provided. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing text messages according to the instructions provided in those communications. Opting out of marketing texts does not necessarily prevent Beach Medical from sending nonmarketing communications when permitted by law.

For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's educational page.
