Privacy Policy

Color Chiropractic (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, our online forms, and our text messaging program, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to colorchiropractic.com and related online forms. By using this website, you agree to this policy.

Your health information and HIPAA

This policy covers information collected through our website. Protected health information you provide as a patient, including intake forms, treatment records, and billing records, is handled under the federal HIPAA Privacy Rule and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our office or on request. Please do not send detailed medical information through our website forms, email, or text messages. We will collect it securely during intake.

Information we collect

• Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, and any message you include when you fill out a contact or appointment request form, book online, or call, text, or email us.
• Communication preferences: whether you have agreed to receive transactional and/or marketing text messages or emails, and when.
• Information collected automatically: when you visit the website, we and our service providers may collect basic technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and referring website, using cookies and similar technologies.

How we use your information

• To respond to your questions and appointment requests
• To schedule, confirm, and remind you of appointments
• To send you information you have requested
• If you opt in, to send occasional marketing messages such as offers, workshop invitations, and health tips
• To operate, secure, and improve our website

Text messaging (SMS) privacy

If you opt in to receive text messages from Color Chiropractic, we use your mobile number only to send the types of messages you agreed to. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or get help by replying HELP or calling (360) 922-0626.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Information may be shared only with service providers that help us deliver messages (for example, our messaging platform and phone carriers), and they may use it only for that purpose.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only:

• With service providers that help us run our practice and website, such as our website host, our customer relationship and messaging platform, our online scheduling and patient portal provider, and email services. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our patients, our practice, or others.
• In connection with a sale or transfer of our practice, subject to this policy.

Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We may use analytics tools and embedded content from third parties such as Google Maps and YouTube, which may set their own cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly.

Data security and retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law.

Your choices and rights

• Text messages: reply STOP to any message to opt out.
• Emails: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
