1. About This Policy

Cardiovascular Specialists of South Florida ("we," "our," or "the Practice") operates the website southflcardio.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle visitor information on this Site. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. What This Site Does Not Collect

This Site is informational only. It contains no forms, no registration fields, and no mechanism for visitors to submit personal information of any kind. We do not collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address

• Any patient health information (PHI)

• Payment or insurance information

• Login credentials of any kind
  

3. What Is Collected Automatically

Like all websites, this Site uses essential cookies placed by our platform provider, Squarespace, to keep the Site functioning correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information and are not used for advertising or tracking.

We have disabled Squarespace's Activity Log, which means visitor IP addresses and location data are not collected or stored by this Site.

Non-essential analytics cookies are restricted by default on this Site. If you choose to accept cookies via our cookie banner, limited anonymous usage data may be collected by Squarespace to help us understand how the Site is used. You may change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Preferences link on this Site.

4. Third-Party Platforms

This Site contains links to two independent third-party platforms. When you click either link, you leave this Site entirely. We do not control these platforms, do not receive any information you submit to them, and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

ZocDoc — Online Appointment Scheduling

ZocDoc is an independent scheduling platform. Appointment booking information you submit on ZocDoc is collected and managed by ZocDoc under their own privacy policy and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. We have no access to information entered on ZocDoc's platform.

eClinicalWorks — Patient Portal and Bill Pay

The Patient Portal and Pay Bill links on this Site both connect to eClinicalWorks, a HIPAA-compliant electronic health platform. Any health information or payment information you submit through eClinicalWorks is governed by that platform's privacy and security standards and by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to all patients at the time of their first visit. We have no access to information entered on the eClinicalWorks platform through this website link.

If you have questions about how your health information is handled as a patient of this Practice, please call us at (954) 382-1550.

5. No Physician-Patient Relationship

Use of this Site does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and Cardiovascular Specialists of South Florida or any member of its clinical team. A physician-patient relationship is only established through a formal in-person consultation and acceptance of care.

6. Artificial Intelligence

This Site does not currently use any artificial intelligence tools, chatbots, or AI-powered features that collect or process visitor data. If AI tools are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect how any related data is handled.

7. Data Security

Because this Site collects no personal information directly, the privacy risk to visitors is minimal. The Site is hosted on Squarespace's secure platform. We encourage you to review the security practices of ZocDoc and eClinicalWorks before submitting sensitive information on those platforms, as their security standards govern any data you provide to them.

8. External Links

Beyond ZocDoc and eClinicalWorks, this Site may contain links to other third-party websites for informational purposes. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any external website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the "Last Updated" date above will be revised. Your continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
