Website Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 15, 2026

How We Handle Information Through This Website

OB/GYN Care of Oklahoma, PLLC respects your privacy. This Website Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit an online request, communicate with us through a digital channel, or interact with communications we send.

This policy applies to our public website and the digital services that link to it. It does not replace our Notice of Privacy Practices. The Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose protected health information and explains rights that may apply to that information under federal and state healthcare privacy laws.

If information is protected health information, our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable healthcare privacy law control. If this Website Privacy Policy conflicts with the Notice of Privacy Practices regarding protected health information, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls.

By using the website, you acknowledge the information practices described here. Choices and consent requirements that apply to a particular communication, cookie, or service remain in effect.

Important: Do not use this website, email, text, or a general online form for an emergency. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you may be experiencing a medical emergency.

Information You Provide

We may collect information you choose to provide, including:

  • Name, telephone number, email address, mailing address, and communication preferences.
  • Information submitted when you request an appointment, ask a question, request records or forms, contact the office, respond to a survey, subscribe to updates, or register for an event.
  • Billing, insurance, or administrative information when an approved service is designed to receive it.
  • Messages, feedback, and other information you voluntarily send to us.
  • Marketing preferences and records of consent, opt-out requests, or subscription changes.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the website, we and service providers working for us may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as:

  • Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, and approximate location derived from an Internet Protocol address.
  • Pages viewed, links selected, referring page, date and time of access, session duration, and general interaction data.
  • Cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, and similar technology data when those tools are enabled and permitted.
  • Security, error, performance, and fraud-prevention information.

Information From Other Sources

We may receive information from vendors that support our website, communications, scheduling, analytics, advertising, security, or business operations. We may also receive information when another person contacts us on your behalf, subject to appropriate verification and legal requirements.

Purposes for Using Information

We may use information for the following purposes, as permitted by applicable law:

  • Respond to questions, appointment requests, and other communications.
  • Provide, coordinate, and administer services, including scheduling, forms, records, billing, insurance, and office operations.
  • Send appointment-related, account-related, safety, administrative, or service communications.
  • Provide educational content, newsletters, service announcements, event information, surveys, and other updates you request or may reasonably expect from our relationship.
  • Send promotional or marketing communications when permitted and when any required consent has been obtained.
  • Personalize general website content and measure the usefulness of our website and communications.
  • Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and our digital services.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, and other harmful activity.
  • Comply with law, professional obligations, legal process, and enforceable requests from government authorities.
  • Protect our rights, patients, personnel, operations, and the safety of others.
  • Support a merger, financing, restructuring, sale, transfer, or other business transaction, subject to applicable confidentiality and privacy requirements.

We may use information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it is not reasonably identifiable to evaluate trends, improve services, and support lawful business purposes.

Calls, Email, Text Messages, and Other Communications

We may contact you through the channels you provide to respond to your request, administer services, communicate about appointments or office operations, send information you requested, and manage our relationship with you.

We may also offer newsletters, educational updates, service announcements, surveys, events, promotions, and other marketing communications. We will use consent, notice, and opt-out methods required for the channel and purpose involved.

Submitting an appointment request or general contact form does not by itself enroll you in automated promotional text messages. When marketing text consent is required, we will request it separately and explain the type of messages you may receive. Consent to marketing texts is not a condition of receiving care or purchasing services.

If you separately choose to receive marketing texts, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to a marketing text to opt out of marketing messages from that number and HELP for help. You may also contact the office to change communication preferences. Administrative, appointment-related, or care-related communications may continue when permitted by law and needed to respond to your request or support services.

Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe method when required. An email marketing opt-out does not prevent us from sending nonmarketing messages about an appointment, request, transaction, security matter, legal notice, or ongoing service relationship.

Your mobile carrier is not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. Electronic communications may not be secure, and you should not send urgent or highly sensitive medical information through a general email address or ordinary text message.

Website Technologies and Your Choices

We and vendors working for us may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development tools, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, protect security, understand general usage, measure communications, and support advertising on appropriate pages.

Some technologies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be optional and may be controlled through a cookie preference tool, browser settings, device settings, or other methods we provide. Blocking a technology may affect website features.

We may use approved website and communication tools to measure general campaign performance and to provide educational, service, and marketing communications as permitted by law. We do not send patient-facing form content or protected health information to third-party advertising platforms or use it to create external advertising audiences without a valid authorization or another legally permitted basis.

Browser signals, including Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals, are handled as required by applicable law and our current technology configuration. Because legal requirements and browser standards change, available controls may differ by device and browser.

Sensitive data rule: Do not include symptoms, diagnoses, appointment reasons, reproductive goals, pregnancy or fertility information, test results, procedure interests, insurance information, billing details, or free-text form content in advertising or analytics events.

When Information May Be Shared

We may disclose information in the following circumstances, subject to applicable law and, when protected health information is involved, our Notice of Privacy Practices:

  • To vendors and professional advisers that support hosting, security, communications, scheduling, forms, records, payment, billing, analytics, marketing, legal, accounting, and other operations.
  • To healthcare providers, facilities, health plans, and others involved in treatment, payment, or healthcare operations when permitted.
  • At your direction or with your consent.
  • To comply with law, legal process, licensing obligations, court orders, or lawful government requests.
  • To protect rights, safety, security, and property, or to investigate fraud, misuse, or harmful activity.
  • In connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, transfer, or similar transaction involving some or all of the practice or its assets.
  • In aggregated or de-identified form when the information does not reasonably identify you.

We do not sell protected health information. We do not sell personal information collected through patient-facing forms to data brokers.

Phone numbers and SMS/MMS/RCS consent are not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Vendors that create, receive, maintain, or transmit protected health information for us must be evaluated for appropriate healthcare privacy and security obligations, including a business associate agreement when required.

Different Rules May Apply to Health Information

Information you submit while seeking or receiving healthcare may become part of a medical or business record and may be protected health information. Our Notice of Privacy Practices explains how OB/GYN Care of Oklahoma may use and disclose protected health information, the duties that apply to the practice, and the rights available to patients.

A general website form is not a substitute for a secure clinical communication channel. Do not use a general form to send medical records, photographs, test results, payment-card information, or detailed medical information unless the form specifically requests that information and provides approved handling instructions.

Questions about protected health information, medical records, or rights under the Notice of Privacy Practices should be directed to the practice using the contact information in that notice.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain required records, support security and continuity, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, regulatory, professional, insurance, and accounting obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

How We Protect Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for using reasonable care when communicating electronically and for protecting access to your devices, email, and telephone accounts.

Communication and Data Choices

Depending on the information, the relationship, and applicable law, you may be able to:

  • Update contact information or communication preferences by contacting the office.
  • Unsubscribe from marketing email by using the link in the message.
  • Opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP to a marketing message from the applicable number.
  • Adjust optional cookies through the website preference tool, when available, or through browser and device settings.
  • Request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or another privacy action when applicable law provides that right.
  • Exercise rights related to protected health information as described in the Notice of Privacy Practices.

We may need to verify your identity and authority before acting on a request. Some requests may be limited or denied when permitted or required by law, including when information must be retained for healthcare, legal, security, or recordkeeping purposes. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Website Use by Minors

This general-audience website is not directed to children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the public website. A parent or legal guardian should call the office before using an online form to seek services for anyone under 13. If the practice intentionally collects personal information online from a child under 13, it will use the notice, verifiable parental consent, and other protections required by applicable law.

Adolescents may use the website to read general health information. Privacy, consent, access, and communication rules for an adolescent patient depend on the type of care, the patient’s circumstances, and applicable law. The office can explain available communication and privacy practices when an appointment is scheduled.

If you believe a child submitted personal information through the public website in a manner that should be reviewed, contact us using the information below.

Other Websites and Services

The website may link to external websites, maps, social media, payment services, scheduling tools, educational resources, or other third-party services. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies and terms.

A link does not mean that OB/GYN Care of Oklahoma controls or endorses every statement, security practice, or privacy practice of the third party. Review the third party’s policies before providing information.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Website Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations. We will post the updated policy on this page and identify its effective date. When required, we may provide additional notice or request consent.

Common Questions

Does this policy replace the Notice of Privacy Practices?

No. This policy describes information practices associated with the website and digital communications. The Notice of Privacy Practices governs protected health information and explains patient rights that apply to that information.

Does an appointment request enroll me in marketing texts?

No. Submitting an appointment request does not by itself enroll you in automated promotional texts. If the practice offers a marketing text program that requires consent, the consent request will be presented separately.

Can I stop marketing messages?

Yes. Use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or reply STOP to a marketing text from the applicable number. You may also call the office to ask about communication preferences. Nonmarketing messages may continue when permitted by law and needed for an appointment, request, transaction, security matter, or ongoing service relationship.

Is information submitted online completely secure?

No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Use only approved forms for their stated purpose, and do not send urgent or highly sensitive information through a general form, email, or text.
