Website Privacy Policy

This policy explains what happens to information when you visit this website. It describes the website only. How the medical practice handles your health information as a patient is covered separately in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

The short version

This is an informational website for the practice of Christopher Arena, MD. It does not ask you to create an account, and it does not have a contact or appointment form — to reach us you call the office directly. Because of that, the site collects very little about you.

Information we collect

Information you give us

The website has no forms, logins, or newsletter signup, so there is no field for you to type your name, email, or any health information into. If you telephone the office using a number listed on the site, that phone call is handled by the practice under our patient privacy practices, not by this website.

Information collected automatically

Like almost all websites, our web host records basic technical information when a page loads — such as your device's IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. This is standard server activity used to keep the site running and secure. We do not use it to identify you personally.

Cookies and tracking

The website itself does not set advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics that profile you across the web. Some third-party content embedded in our pages may set its own cookies once it loads — see the next section.

Third-party content on our pages

To show maps, videos, and fonts, some pages load content from other companies. When that content loads, those companies may receive your IP address and may set their own cookies, governed by their privacy policies rather than ours:

• Google Maps — embedded maps showing our office locations. Google's privacy policy.
• YouTube (owned by Google) — embedded videos about the practice and facility. Covered by the same Google privacy policy.
• Google Fonts — the typefaces used across the site are served by Google.

We don't control what these companies do with the data their embedded content collects. If you'd rather not load them, most browsers let you block third-party cookies or scripts.

How we use information

The limited technical information described above is used only to operate, secure, and improve the website. We do not sell it, rent it, or use it for advertising.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site.

Links to other sites

Our pages link to outside resources such as our Google listing, social media profiles, and published research. Once you follow a link away from this site, this policy no longer applies — the destination site's own policy governs.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website changes. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
