Clinical & Health Information
The public website is not intended to serve as a clinical record system.

Clinical records and protected health information are handled separately in accordance with applicable privacy and confidentiality requirements and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.
Payment Information
Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors or financing providers. Payment providers may collect information necessary to process a transaction. Their collection, storage, and use of financial information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Authentic Perspectives does not make guarantees regarding a third-party provider's technology, security practices, financing approval, or repayment terms.
Cookies & Analytics
The website may use cookies and analytics technologies to operate site features, remember preferences, measure website activity, and understand how visitors use the website. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect some website functions.

Third-Party Providers
We may use third-party companies to support website hosting, scheduling, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, forms, communications, and other business functions. These companies may receive information necessary to perform the service for which they have been engaged.

Information Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect information under our control.
However, no website, email system, electronic transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
HHS likewise frames electronic-health-information security around appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards rather than absolute security guarantees.
