Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 31, 2026
Massachusetts Psychiatry, LLC (“Massachusetts Psychiatry,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors to https://psychiatrymassachusetts.com/ (the “Website”).
This Privacy Policy describes how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit or interact with the Website.
This policy primarily addresses information associated with Website use. Information created, received, maintained, or transmitted in connection with healthcare services may be subject to additional privacy requirements and separate patient privacy practices.
1. Information We May Collect
The information collected depends on how you use the Website.
Information You Provide
You may voluntarily provide information when you:
submit a Website contact or inquiry form;
contact Massachusetts Psychiatry by telephone or email;
request information about services;
request an appointment or information about becoming a patient; or
otherwise communicate with the practice.
Depending on the method of communication, information you provide may include:
your name;
telephone number;
email address;
information contained in your message;
information necessary to respond to your inquiry; and
other information you voluntarily provide.
Please avoid submitting highly sensitive medical or emergency information through a general Website contact form or ordinary email unless the communication method is specifically identified as appropriate for that purpose.
2. Website Usage and Technical Information
When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the Website, hosting infrastructure, security services, analytics technologies, or other service providers used to operate the Website.
Depending on the technologies actually enabled, this information may include:
IP address;
browser type;
device type;
operating system;
referring page or website;
pages visited;
approximate visit times;
interactions with Website features; and
technical or security information.
We may use this information to operate, secure, maintain, understand, and improve the Website.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for Website functionality, security, preferences, analytics, or other functions.
A cookie is a small data file stored on or associated with your device when you visit certain websites.
Depending on the Website’s configuration, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:
maintain Website functionality;
remember preferences;
improve security;
understand Website performance and usage;
identify technical problems; or
support features provided by third-party services.
Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. Restricting cookies may affect how certain Website features function.
Massachusetts Psychiatry should maintain this section so that it accurately reflects the cookies, analytics systems, embedded content, advertising technologies, and other tracking technologies actually deployed on the Website.
4. How We May Use Website Information
Information collected through the Website may be used to:
respond to inquiries;
provide information requested by Website visitors;
communicate about services or appointment requests;
operate and maintain the Website;
troubleshoot technical issues;
protect the Website and practice against fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, or security threats;
understand how visitors use the Website;
improve Website functionality and educational content;
comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements; and
establish, exercise, or defend legal rights when appropriate.
We do not use Website information to diagnose Website visitors.
5. Website Information and Health Information
There is an important distinction between general Website information and information associated with healthcare services.
Information submitted through an ordinary Website inquiry does not automatically establish a psychiatrist-patient or other clinical relationship.
Certain information created or received in connection with healthcare services may qualify as protected health information or otherwise be subject to federal or state healthcare privacy requirements.
Where applicable, the handling of such information may be governed by additional patient privacy documentation, including a Notice of Privacy Practices.
This Website Privacy Policy is not intended to replace any Notice of Privacy Practices that applies to protected health information.
6. Website Contact Forms and Sensitive Information
General Website contact forms are intended primarily for routine inquiries.
Please do not use a general Website form or ordinary email for medical or psychiatric emergencies.
Unless a communication channel is specifically identified as appropriate for secure clinical communication, avoid including highly sensitive clinical information that is not necessary for your inquiry.
If you are an established patient, use the communication methods provided or approved by the practice for clinical matters.
7. Emergency Communications
The Website and general Website communication channels are not emergency services and may not be monitored continuously.
If you or someone else may be in immediate danger or experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
If you are experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance-use crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
8. How Information May Be Shared
We may share Website-related information when reasonably necessary to operate the Website or practice, subject to applicable requirements.
This may include sharing information with service providers that perform functions such as:
Website hosting;
Website maintenance;
security and fraud prevention;
form processing;
communications;
analytics;
scheduling or administrative technology, if applicable; and
other technical or operational support.
Service providers may receive only information reasonably necessary to perform their functions, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:
comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or lawful governmental request;
protect the rights, safety, or property of Massachusetts Psychiatry, Website users, patients, or others;
investigate suspected fraud, abuse, or security incidents; or
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Healthcare information may be subject to additional restrictions that are not fully described by this general Website Privacy Policy.
9. We Do Not Sell Personal Information
Massachusetts Psychiatry, LLC does not sell personal information collected through the Website for money.
Any broader legal definitions of “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or similar processing depend on the technologies actually deployed on the Website and applicable privacy law. The Website’s technology and vendor configuration should therefore be reviewed periodically to ensure this statement and related disclosures remain accurate.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, educational resources, scheduling technologies, embedded content, maps, videos, analytics tools, security tools, or other services.
Third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies and practices.
Massachusetts Psychiatry, LLC does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information directly to them.
11. Data Retention
Website-related information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, protecting Website security, complying with applicable requirements, and resolving disputes.
Different retention requirements may apply to medical records, protected health information, and other information maintained as part of a clinical relationship.
12. Data Security
Massachusetts Psychiatry, LLC takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the systems used to protect information under its control.
However, no website, email system, electronic transmission, storage platform, or internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For that reason, visitors should use appropriate care when transmitting sensitive information electronically and should use designated secure communication methods when instructed to do so by the practice.
13. Children’s and Adolescents’ Privacy
Massachusetts Psychiatry may provide certain clinical services to eligible adolescents when clinically appropriate and subject to applicable consent, authorization, and privacy requirements.
The availability of clinical care for an adolescent is separate from the collection of information from children through this general Website.
The Website is not designed to encourage children to independently submit personal or sensitive health information through general Website forms.
Parents or legal guardians seeking information about psychiatric services for a minor should contact Massachusetts Psychiatry using the contact information provided on the Website.
The handling of information concerning minors may be subject to additional federal and Massachusetts requirements depending on the circumstances.
14. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your relationship with Massachusetts Psychiatry and applicable law, you may have rights or choices concerning certain personal information.
You may contact us to ask questions about Website-related personal information or to request an appropriate correction or update.
Rights relating to medical records or protected health information may be governed by separate healthcare privacy requirements and patient privacy documentation.
Browser settings may also allow you to manage cookies and certain Website technologies.
15. External Websites
The Website may link to resources operated by government agencies, professional organizations, hospitals, educational organizations, or other third parties.
Once you leave the Massachusetts Psychiatry Website, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.
A link to an external resource does not necessarily mean Massachusetts Psychiatry controls or endorses that website’s privacy practices.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in Website technology, practice operations, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
When material changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this policy may be revised.
