Website Hosting and Wix

This website is created and hosted through Wix.com. Information submitted through the website may be processed and stored through Wix’s systems, including Wix Forms, Wix Inbox, Wix Contacts, Wix Analytics, or other Wix services enabled on the site.

Wix may process information according to its own privacy practices. More information is available in the Wix Privacy Policy.

Wix and services enabled through this website may use cookies and similar technologies. These technologies may support:

  • Essential website operation and security

  • Visitor preferences and website functionality

  • Website traffic and performance analytics

  • Marketing or advertising features, if those features are enabled

Essential cookies may be necessary for the website to function. Where required, nonessential cookies will be managed through the website’s cookie-consent settings. You may also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

IPCI does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. Some cookie-based analytics or advertising activities may be legally defined as “sharing” or a “sale” in certain jurisdictions. Where applicable, visitors may manage those activities through the website’s cookie controls or contact us to submit a privacy request.

 

Health Information and HIPAA

This Privacy Policy governs general information collected through the public website. It is not a Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).

If you become an IPCI patient and IPCI is acting as a HIPAA-covered healthcare provider, protected health information created or maintained as part of your care will be governed by IPCI’s Notice of Privacy Practices and other applicable healthcare privacy requirements.

Do not use the general website contact form for emergencies, urgent medical concerns, or detailed clinical communications.

 

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry, provide requested information, operate our services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal or professional obligations.

Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.

 

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures and rely on security features provided by Wix and applicable service providers to protect information submitted through the website.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use discretion when sending personal or sensitive information online.
