Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how AAA Pediatrics (“we,” “our,” or “us”) handles information collected through this website, our patient portal, and your interactions with our office. Protected health information (PHI) is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which we provide at your first visit and on request.

What we collect

We collect information you provide directly — for example, when you call our office, fill out forms, request an appointment, or message through the patient portal. This may include your name, contact details, child’s information, insurance details, and the reason for your visit.

When you visit this website, we automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. We use this to understand which content is helpful and to improve the site over time.

How we use information

• To schedule, deliver, and follow up on care
• To verify insurance coverage and process billing
• To respond to questions and messages
• To improve our website, content, and patient experience
• To meet legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations

How we share information

We share information only as necessary to provide care or as required by law. This may include:

• Other healthcare providers involved in your child’s care
• Your insurance carrier or Medicaid plan
• Laboratories, pharmacies, and specialists you’re referred to
• Vendors who support our practice operations under HIPAA-compliant agreements
• Public-health authorities when reporting is required

We do not sell personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses minimal cookies for site functionality and aggregate analytics (Google Analytics 4). Analytics data is used to understand site performance — not to identify individuals. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Your rights

You have the right to request access to your child’s medical records, request corrections, and receive an accounting of disclosures of protected health information. For details, see our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices or call our office.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them through the site. Information about pediatric patients is provided by their parents or legal guardians and handled per HIPAA and applicable state law.

Updates to this policy

We may update this policy as our practice or applicable law changes. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be announced on this page.
