Privacy Policy
Angel Chiropractic Health Center
Effective Date: July 25, 2026
Angel Chiropractic Health Center ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website angelchiro.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
This policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not apply to information you provide to us in person, by phone, or as a patient of the practice — patient health information is protected separately under applicable healthcare privacy laws and our office policies.
Information We Collect
We collect only a limited amount of information through the Site:
- Information you provide directly. When you use our contact form or email us — for example, to ask a question or request an appointment — we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. Please do not include detailed medical or health information in contact form submissions or email; that information is best shared privately during an appointment or phone call.
- Usage data. Like most websites, we may automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the Site. This information is collected through analytics tools and server logs and is used in aggregate form.
- Cookies. The Site uses cookies — small text files stored by your browser — as described below.
We do not collect payment information through the Site. We do not ask for Social Security numbers, insurance details, or medical records online.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your questions, messages, and appointment inquiries;
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can make it more useful;
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing email unless you have asked to receive it.
Cookies and the Cookie Notice
When you first visit the Site, a cookie notice banner asks for your acknowledgment of our use of cookies. The Site may use:
- Essential cookies, which are necessary for the Site to function (for example, remembering that you have dismissed the cookie notice);
- Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, though some features of the Site may not work as smoothly if you do. Declining non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to read the Site's content or contact us.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers. We use trusted third-party providers to help operate the Site — for example, web hosting, email delivery, and analytics. These providers receive only the information they need to perform their services and are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our practice, our patients, or others.
- Business changes. If the practice is ever sold, merged, or reorganized, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
Third-Party Links and Dispensaries
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including online supplement dispensaries and product suppliers (such as Fullscript-type dispensary stores, Metagenics, Standard Process, and similar vendors) where you may purchase professional-grade supplements we recommend. When you follow these links, you leave our Site.
Any information you provide to those websites — including account registration, order, and payment information — is collected and handled by those vendors under their own privacy policies, not ours. We do not receive your payment information from these vendors, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links.
The Site also offers downloadable materials such as health lecture recordings and PDF documents. Downloading these materials does not require you to provide personal information.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use discretion in what you share through the contact form or email, and avoid sending sensitive health details electronically.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 online. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through the Site, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your California Privacy Rights
Angel Chiropractic Health Center is located in California, and we respect the rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and related laws. As a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected about you, and request a copy;
- Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — note that we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so;
- Non-discrimination — we will never treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We will verify your identity before responding and will respond within the time required by law. As a small practice, the personal information we hold from the Site is typically limited to contact form submissions and email correspondence.
Processing in the United States
The Site is operated from the United States, and information collected through it is processed and stored in the United States.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
