This Privacy Policy describes how Mindspring Behavioral Health Group LLC ("we," "us," or "our") may collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit www.mindspringbehavioralhealth.com, use our website, submit an inquiry, communicate with us, or interact with services that link to this Privacy Policy.

Mindspring Behavioral Health Group LLC is a New Jersey-based behavioral health and psychiatric practice providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and related mental health support. This website is intended for general informational and educational purposes. Clinical services, scheduling, intake, billing, records, and patient communications may be handled through secure third-party platforms, including an electronic health record or patient portal.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Mailing address
• Contact preferences
• Information submitted through contact, inquiry, intake, or scheduling forms
• Insurance or payment-related information, when applicable
• Limited health-related information you choose to provide

The specific information collected depends on how you interact with our website, forms, client portal, or third-party service providers.

Some information you provide may be considered sensitive personal information or health-related information. Clinical communications, intake forms, treatment records, appointment information, and billing information may be handled through secure platforms intended for healthcare operations.

While certain systems used by the practice may be HIPAA-compliant, not all website features are appropriate for submitting protected health information. Please avoid submitting detailed medical, psychiatric, or crisis-related information through general website forms unless specifically directed to do so through a secure clinical platform.

We may use information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Provide information about services
• Schedule appointments or direct users to scheduling resources
• Manage intake, administrative, billing, and care coordination processes
• Communicate about appointment-related or service-related matters
• Improve website functionality and user experience
• Maintain security and prevent misuse
• Comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only as needed with trusted third-party service providers who support website operation, scheduling, secure forms, electronic health records, billing, payment processing, email communication, text communication, analytics, or other administrative functions.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, professional obligations, safety concerns, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our practice, patients, website users, or others.

Our website may link to or embed third-party platforms, including scheduling tools, patient portals, payment processors, electronic health record systems, secure forms, analytics tools, and communication platforms. These third parties may collect, store, or process information according to their own privacy practices.

We make reasonable efforts to use reputable platforms appropriate for healthcare and administrative use, but we do not control every aspect of third-party privacy or security practices.

If you choose to provide your phone number, we may use it for service-related communication, including appointment reminders, scheduling updates, follow-up communication, or administrative messages. Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply.

Phone numbers collected for SMS consent are not shared with third parties for marketing purposes. You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP or by contacting the practice directly.

Email may be used for general administrative or informational communication. Email is not always a secure method for sharing sensitive health information. Please do not use email for emergencies or urgent clinical concerns.

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve performance, and support site functionality. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse or remove cookies. Doing so may affect how certain website features function.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, email system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. You use the website and submit information at your own discretion.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, maintain business records, and support healthcare operations.

Mindspring Behavioral Health Group LLC may provide psychiatric services to children and adolescents. Website use by minors should occur with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Information related to minor patients may be handled in accordance with applicable healthcare, privacy, and consent laws.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or limitations on certain personal information. Healthcare records may be subject to separate rules, including HIPAA and applicable state law.

To request access to records or ask privacy-related questions, please contact the practice directly through the appropriate secure channel.

Some browsers offer Do-Not-Track signals. Because there is not currently a uniform legal or technical standard for recognizing these signals, our website may not respond to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a new "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

For questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact Mindspring Behavioral Health Group LLC through the contact method provided on this website or through the secure patient portal, if you are an established patient.
