Effective Date: August 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Paul D. Bailey, III, MD ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit paulbaileymd.com (the "Website") or interact with the forms, quizzes, chat features, and other tools available on it. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through technology on the Website.

Information you provide to us.

When you voluntarily submit information through the Website, we collect it. This includes:

• Contact form submissions: your name, phone number, email address, and any message you send us.
• Appointment or booking requests: information needed to schedule and follow up with you.
• Quiz responses: answers you provide to eligibility or assessment quizzes.
• Chat widget conversations: messages you send through any live chat or messaging feature.

Information collected automatically.

When you visit the Website, a limited amount of information may be collected automatically through functional cookies and embedded third-party content, subject to your consent where required. This may include:

• Basic device and connection information (such as IP address and browser type) processed by our website platform to serve the site.
• Cookies set by our website and forms platform (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector) to operate the site's features.
• Cookies set by the embedded Google Map in our Location section, under Google's own privacy policy.

We do not use Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or advertising or marketing tracking pixels on the Website.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small file stored on your device that helps a website function. We use only a limited set of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential and functional cookies: required for the Website and its features to work, including our website and forms platform (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector), which powers the contact form, appointment requests, quiz, chat widget, and review display.
• Embedded map cookies: our Location section includes an embedded Google Map. When it loads, Google may set cookies on your device under Google's own privacy policy.

We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising pixels, or other third-party analytics or marketing tracking on the Website.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies (such as those set by the embedded map) are loaded only after you provide consent through our cookie consent banner, or when you choose to load the map. You may accept or decline non-essential cookies and may change your preferences at any time through the banner or your browser settings. Declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the Website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries, appointment requests, and messages.
• Provide information about our services and follow up on your requests.
• Send text messages or emails you have consented to receive.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Website and our services.
• Understand how visitors use the Website.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

4. Text Messaging Consent

If you provide your phone number and agree to receive text messages, you consent to receive text communications from us at that number. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. We do not share your mobile information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Website and our practice, including our website and forms platform (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector) and communication tools. These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services for us.
• Legal and safety purposes, when required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our patients, staff, or others.

Embedded third-party content on the Website — such as Google Maps, review widgets, and social media links — may collect information directly under those third parties' own privacy policies.

This Website is intended for general informational and appointment-request purposes and is not a patient portal. Please do not submit detailed medical history or sensitive health information through the Website's public forms or chat. Protected health information created or received in the course of treatment is handled in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which govern that information separately from this Website Privacy Policy.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
