If your data is needed offline, only employees with clearance for the specific service, such as customer service or accounting, are authorized to access it.

We use cookies and tracking technologies to improve your experience on our Website. These help us analyze Website traffic, remember user preferences, and enhance security.

Cookies are small pieces of data used to improve your access and identify repeat visits. The cookies are stored on your computer’s hard drive. This allows Plastic Surgery Studios to collect, track, and target visitor interests and usage, and enables you to skip the login process when necessary. This helps us provide you with the best experience possible. You may choose to disable cookies in your web browser, but this may affect your experience in some areas of the site.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party service providers to:

  • Facilitate the operation of our Website
  • Provide Website services on our behalf
  • Perform Website-related services
  • Help analyze how our Website is used

These third parties may access your personal information only to perform assigned tasks and must not disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Google Analytics

This Website may use Google Analytics to help analyze how visitors use this Website. Analytics collected on this Website is collected by Google Analytics. Google Analytics tracks where you came from based on your IP address, which is anonymized. You may learn more about Google Analytics’ privacy policy here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.

Google AdWords & Remarketing

This Website may use the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third-party websites, including Google, to previous visitors to our Website. It could mean we advertise to visitors to our Website who previously visited but did not complete a task, such as submitting a contact form to make an inquiry. This advertisement could appear as an ad on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. The Google Display Network comprises over a million websites, videos, and apps where ads can be displayed. Sites in this network have partnered with Google to show relevant ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to this Website. Any data we collect will be used in accordance with the privacy policies of Google and this Website. You may opt out of Google’s targeted ads by visiting Google Ad Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Facebook Pixel

This Website uses Facebook Pixel to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising. Data collected is used in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy and may be associated with your Facebook account.

This Website may use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”)) on our website (“Facebook Pixel”).

Facebook Pixel enables the tracking of user behavior after a user is redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad, allowing us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. Data collected in this way is anonymous to us, and we do not have access to the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, and Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

The legal basis for using this service is Art. 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by updating your Facebook ad settings.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework agreement, thereby guaranteeing compliance with European data protection legislation.

Contact Form

Our Website’s contact form submission data—IP address, user agent, name, email address, Website, and message—may be submitted to the Akismet service (also owned by Automattic) for the sole purpose of spam checking. The actual submission data is stored in the database of the site on which it was submitted, and it is emailed directly to the owner of the form (i.e., the site author who published the page on which the contact form resides). This email will include the submitter’s IP address, timestamp, name, email address, Website, and message. The data is collected on this Website’s database and stored indefinitely.

Privacy of Collected Information and Data

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. We do not sell, trade, exchange, transfer, or otherwise give your PII to any other company for any reason without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the requested service or purchased product. However, this does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, or servicing you, provided that those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

We may also release your information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our own rights, property, or safety, as well as the rights, property, or safety of others. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be shared with other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

How We Protect Your Information and Data

We use the following information to check login activity and potentially block fraudulent attempts: the user’s IP address, the user’s email address/username (i.e., the value they attempted to use during the login process), and all IP-related HTTP headers attached to the attempting user. Our Website is scanned regularly for security holes and known vulnerabilities to ensure your visit is as safe as possible. Your personal information is stored within secure networks and is accessible only to a limited number of individuals who have been granted special access rights to these systems and are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information.

Patient Images

All patient images on this Website are owned by BH Plastic Surgery. We respect your privacy and understand that not all patients wish to have their images on the Internet. We will not post images of you or your procedures without your prior written consent. If you ever wish to have your images removed after giving consent, you can submit a written request to our office for removal.

Other Websites

This Website may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) or links to other websites on this site. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Each time you visit our office, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination, test results, diagnoses, treatment, and plans for future care or treatment. This information is often referred to as your health or medical record and serves as the basis for planning your care and medical treatment.

Information and Test Results

We may use your health information to send you information on the treatment and management of your medical condition that you may find to be of interest. We may also send you information describing other health-related goods and services that we believe may be of interest to you. If we are unable to provide you with test results in person or by phone, we may send the information to you using the mailing address on file or via electronic mail.
