Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 21, 2026
Redwood Women's Center ("we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, redwoodwomenscenter.com, and how we use and protect it.
This policy covers our website only. Your medical records and health information are protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). They are covered by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not this policy.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you use our contact form, sign up for emails, or contact us by phone or email, we may collect:
Your name
Email address and phone number
Your preferred way to be contacted
The message you send us
Please do not send medical information through our website contact form. Our contact form is meant for general questions only. For questions about your health, appointments, or test results, please call us at (707) 725-6108 or use our secure patient portal.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site collects basic technical information when you visit. This can include your browser type, device type, general location (city or region), pages viewed, and how you arrived at our site. This information helps us understand how the site is used and keep it working well. It does not identify you by name.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to:
Respond to your questions and requests
Schedule or confirm appointments when you ask us to
Send practice updates or announcements, only if you have chosen to receive them
Keep accurate records of our communications with you
Maintain, secure, and improve our website
We do not sell or share your information for marketing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it with outside companies for their own marketing or advertising. We do not use advertising pixels or retargeting tools on this website.
Who we share information with
We share information only with service providers that help us run our website and our practice, and only as needed for them to do that work. These include:
Squarespace, which hosts this website and processes contact form submissions
Google Workspace, which provides our email service, including messages and practice updates we send
Google Analytics, which helps us understand how visitors use our website. It does not identify you by name. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We may also disclose information when required by law, such as to respond to a court order or to protect the safety of our patients, staff, or the public.
Email communications
If you sign up for our emails, we will use your email address to send practice news, health education, and announcements. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We may still contact you about appointments or care you have requested.
Records of your communications
We keep records of messages and form submissions so we can follow up and provide good service. We keep them only as long as needed for that purpose or as required by law. Any information that becomes part of your medical record is handled under our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies, which are small files stored by your browser, so the site works properly and so we can see basic usage statistics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as expected if you do.
Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is no common standard for responding to these signals, so our website does not currently respond to them. We do not track visitors across other websites.
How we protect your information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information submitted through our website, including encrypted (SSL) connections. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure. This is one reason we ask that you share health details by phone or through our patient portal instead of the contact form.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site. Parents or guardians with questions about a minor's care should contact our office directly.
Your choices
You may ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information you have submitted through our website. You may also unsubscribe from our emails at any time. To make a request, contact us using the information below.
Links to other websites
Our site may link to other websites, such as our patient portal, insurance providers, or health resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date above.
