Queen Bee Gynecology (“Queen Bee Gynecology,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information collected through our website, including contact forms, appointment-related links, analytics tools, search engine optimization tools, and other normal website functionality.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our public website. It does not replace Queen Bee Gynecology’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how protected health information may be used and disclosed in connection with patient care, billing, healthcare operations, and other activities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and related regulations.
Important Medical Notice
Our website contact information and contact form are intended only for scheduling appointments and asking general questions about clinic services.
Do not use the website, contact form, email, or general website communication tools to seek medical advice, submit urgent medical concerns, request emergency care, or communicate detailed health information.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
For non-urgent or non-emergent medical questions or concerns, established patients should communicate with our office staff directly during business hours using the appropriate communication method provided by the clinic.
Website messages are not monitored at all times and may not receive an immediate response.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you visit or interact with our website.
1. Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you submit a contact form, call us, email us, or otherwise contact us through the website, we may collect information such as:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Preferred method of contact
- Appointment-related request
- General questions about clinic services
- Any other information you choose to include in your message
Please do not include detailed medical history, symptoms, diagnosis information, treatment questions, medication details, insurance numbers, Social Security numbers, payment card information, or other sensitive information in the website contact form.
If you choose to provide sensitive information through the website despite this notice, we will handle it with care and may use it only as necessary to respond appropriately, route your request, protect safety, comply with legal obligations, or support clinic operations.
2. Appointment Scheduling Information
Our website may link to or integrate with a third-party scheduling system. Queen Bee Gynecology does not directly operate that third-party scheduling platform through this website.
When you click an appointment scheduling link or use a third-party scheduling tool, the information you provide may be collected and processed by that third-party provider according to its own privacy policy, terms, security practices, and HIPAA-related agreements, where applicable.
We may receive appointment-related information from the scheduling provider as needed to manage appointments, confirm scheduling, communicate with you, and support clinic operations.
You should review the privacy policy and terms of the third-party scheduling system before submitting information through it.
3. Automatically Collected Website Information
Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical and usage information when you visit our website, including:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Operating system
- Referring website
- Pages viewed
- Time and date of visit
- Approximate general location based on IP address
- Interactions with website pages, buttons, links, and forms
- Cookie or similar tracking identifiers
- Website performance and error data
This information is generally used to operate the website, understand visitor activity, improve user experience, measure website performance, support search engine optimization, prevent misuse, and maintain website security.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, scripts, tags, log files, or similar technologies to help the website function, remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, improve website content, measure marketing and SEO performance, and protect the website from misuse.
These technologies may be used by us or by third-party service providers, such as analytics, hosting, website security, SEO, or performance tools.
You can usually adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
Analytics, SEO, and Website Tracking
We may use analytics and SEO tools, such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, website performance tools, or similar services, to understand how visitors find and use our website.
These tools may collect limited technical information, such as pages visited, device type, browser type, general location, referral source, and website activity. We use this information to improve website content, accessibility, performance, search visibility, and user experience.
We do not knowingly use website analytics tools to collect detailed medical information, treatment information, diagnosis information, or confidential patient communications through the public website.
Because healthcare websites can involve sensitive privacy considerations, we aim to avoid using tracking technologies in a way that would intentionally disclose protected health information to analytics or marketing vendors without appropriate legal review, authorization, or agreements where required.
How We Use Information
We may use information collected through the website for the following purposes:
- To respond to appointment requests or general service questions
- To route inquiries to appropriate office staff
- To communicate with you about your request
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
- To analyze website traffic and performance
- To improve search engine visibility and website content
- To detect, prevent, and respond to spam, fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems
- To comply with legal, regulatory, professional, or administrative obligations
- To protect the rights, safety, and property of Queen Bee Gynecology, patients, website visitors, staff, and others
- To support ordinary business operations, including website maintenance and vendor management
We do not use the public website contact form to provide medical diagnosis, treatment recommendations, emergency assistance, or individualized medical advice.

Legal and Compliance Purposes
We may disclose information if required or permitted by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, licensing requirement, law enforcement request, or other legal process.

If Queen Bee Gynecology is involved in a merger, reorganization, practice transition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, website-related information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal protections.
With Your Consent

Analytics data may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the analytics or website service providers we use.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the website from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no website, email system, contact form, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should not submit sensitive medical, financial, or emergency information through the website contact form.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites or platforms. When you leave our website or interact with a third-party service, that third party’s privacy policy and terms apply.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services before submitting information.

Established patients should use the communication method directed by the clinic for medical questions or patient-specific concerns.
