HearthWell Recovery (“HearthWell,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website at hearthwellrecovery.org (the “Site”) or contact us through it.
This website Privacy Policy is separate from our Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA). If you are a patient, the collection and use of your protected health information (PHI) in the course of treatment is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), available on request from our office. This Site policy covers information collected through the website only.

- Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date/time of your visit, through cookies and similar technologies.
- Cookies and analytics. We may use cookies and third-party analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

We do not share information for third-party marketing.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
