Website Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 7, 2026

1. Overview This website is operated by Spencer Chiropractic, LLC. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors. This policy describes how we handle information when you visit our site.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect To ensure your privacy, we have designed this website to be as non-intrusive as possible:

  • Contact Forms: We do not currently use contact forms to collect personal names, emails, or health information.
  • Analytics: We do not use third-party tracking services (such as Google Analytics) to monitor your individual browsing behavior.
  • Cookies: Our website does not set non-essential tracking cookies.

3. Server Logs Like most websites, our server automatically logs basic technical information (such as your IP address and browser type) to ensure the site remains secure and functional. This data is not used for marketing and is typically deleted automatically by the hosting provider.

4. External Links Our site may link to third-party websites (e.g., a patient portal or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.

5. Changes to This Policy If we decide to add contact forms or analytics in the future, we will update this policy and provide a notice on our homepage.

6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

7. “Do Not Track” (DNT) Signals

California Do Not Track Disclosure Some browsers have “Do Not Track” features that allow you to tell websites not to track you. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals because we do not engage in cross-site tracking or third-party behavioral advertising.

8. ADA and Accessibility

We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1).

9. Security Measures

Data Security We use administrative and technical site protections, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, to protect the integrity of our website. While we strive to protect the site, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of the server environment.

10. Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, and licensed images, is the property of Spencer Chiropractic, LLC and is protected by copyright laws. You may not reproduce or distribute any content without our prior written consent.
