GENTLE BEGINNINGS FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC
Website Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Gentle Beginnings Family Chiropractic ("Gentle Beginnings," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy describes how information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.gbfchiro.com, contact us through the website, or follow our website links to schedule a call.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide. If you complete a contact form, call us, or request an appointment, you may provide your name, email address, telephone number, scheduling preferences, and the information you choose to include in your message. If you inquire about care for a child or family member, your message may also include information about that person.
Information collected automatically. When you use our website, our website platform and related services may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, referring website, approximate location derived from IP address, and interactions with the site. Cookies or similar technologies may support website functionality, security, and analytics.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to respond to questions and inquiries; communicate about scheduling and requested services; operate, maintain, and protect the website; understand website performance; and comply with applicable legal obligations. If we offer promotional communications, we will use contact information for those communications only as permitted by law and any applicable consent preferences.
3. Contact Forms and Health-Related Information
Our general website contact form is intended for initial inquiries, not for emergencies or transmission of detailed medical records. Please avoid submitting Social Security numbers, payment card details, or sensitive health information through a general website form. If you need to discuss private patient information, call our office so we can direct you to an appropriate communication method.
Information maintained in connection with patient care may be subject to additional confidentiality requirements and a separate Notice of Privacy Practices when required by law. This website policy does not replace that notice.
4. Online Scheduling and Other Service Providers
Our website currently links to Calendly for complimentary connection-call scheduling. When you select that link, you leave our website and may provide information directly to Calendly. Calendly processes information under its own privacy notice and any applicable agreements with us. We also use Squarespace to host and operate our website. Service providers may process information as necessary to provide website, scheduling, security, or communications functions for us.
You can review their policies at squarespace.com/privacy and calendly.com/legal/privacy-notice.
5. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website and its service providers may use cookies and similar tools to support basic site operations, improve performance, measure usage, and keep the website secure. The specific cookies in use may change as website features and settings are updated. You can usually manage or block cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not function as intended.
6. When Information May Be Shared
We may share information with vendors that help us operate the website, handle inquiries, arrange calls, or provide related services. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the security of our systems. Any use or disclosure of protected patient information is separately governed by applicable healthcare privacy requirements.
7. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions appropriate to the information and services involved. However, no website, email transmission, or online service can be guaranteed completely secure. We retain website inquiry and scheduling information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to operational needs and applicable legal obligations. Patient records may follow different legal retention requirements.
8. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may choose not to submit information through our website and instead contact us by telephone. You may adjust cookie settings in your browser. To ask a question about information you submitted, request a correction, or ask us to review a deletion request, please contact our office using the information below. We will evaluate requests in accordance with applicable law and our recordkeeping obligations. If you receive optional promotional emails from us, you may request to stop receiving them.
9. Children and Family Information
Gentle Beginnings provides care to families, including infants and children, but our website is intended for parents, legal guardians, and adults seeking information. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through this website without a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child has provided information without appropriate permission, please contact us.
10. Links to Other Websites
Our website may link to scheduling services, educational resources, social media platforms, and other external websites. Those services have their own practices and policies. We encourage you to review their privacy information before sharing personal details.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our website, service providers, practices, or applicable law. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the date shown above.
