Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Automatic Data Collection & Tracking Technology
What We Collect and Why
Like many modern websites, we use automatic data collection technologies, such as cookies, server logs, and web beacons, to analyze how visitors interact with our site. This data helps us improve website performance, optimize navigation, and enhance the services we offer.
When you visit our website, we may collect technical, non-personal information, including but not limited to:
- Device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system).
- Usage data (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages, and clickstream data).
- General location data (e.g., city/state derived from IP address).
We configure certain tools to reduce or limit the collection of identifying information where reasonably possible. We do not intend for this website’s tracking technologies to be used to collect sensitive health information, and you should not submit sensitive medical information through general website forms unless expressly instructed.
How We Use and Share This Data
We may share this de-identified usage data with third-party analytics providers to help us understand website traffic trends. The data shared with these providers is aggregated and does not include direct personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or phone number.
Distinction from Protected Health Information (PHI)
Please note that general website analytics data is separate and distinct from Protected Health Information (PHI).
- PHI is health information you voluntarily provide to us through secure channels, such as our Patient Portal or secure intake forms.
- Our collection, use, and disclosure of PHI are governed strictly by our Notice of Privacy Practices.
We do not use or disclose PHI for marketing or general website analytics purposes without your valid, written authorization as required by HIPAA.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact Pensacola Lung Group immediately via telephone at 850-477-9253 or via email.
