Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by Dr. Melanie Petro's practice ("we," "us") to answer common privacy questions about the Cotton Candy Collagen candidacy experience at cottoncandycollagen.com (the "Site"). It describes the information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is provided for transparency and does not constitute legal advice.

Information we collect

When you take the candidacy assessment or contact the practice, you may voluntarily provide your name, email address, phone number, and the answers you select in the assessment. We also receive standard technical information from your browser, such as device type, approximate location, and pages visited, so the Site can render correctly and we can understand aggregate usage.

How we use your information

• To review your candidacy responses and follow up about a consultation.
• To send transactional messages you request (assessment results, appointment info).
• To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

Protected health information

The assessment is an educational screening tool and is not a formal medical record. Any protected health information you share during a clinical consultation with Dr. Petro is handled under the practice's HIPAA notice, which is provided separately at the point of care.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and the practice (for example, secure hosting, email delivery, and scheduling tools), and when required by law.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at the address on our contact page. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link.

Cookies

We use a small number of first-party cookies and analytics to understand aggregate Site usage. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
