Depending on the service involved, additional privacy notices, authorization forms, consent documents, or professional requirements may also apply.
2. Information We May Receive.

3. Health and Sensitive Information.
Certain information handled through Wellness Pulse Bridge services may constitute sensitive personal information or protected health information under applicable federal or state law. We handle health-related information according to the privacy requirements applicable to the particular service and healthcare relationship. When information is collected or maintained by a healthcare professional, additional notices or requirements may apply. We encourage you to provide only information reasonably necessary for your request and to use designated secure communication methods when available. No website or electronic communication method should be considered an appropriate channel for emergency medical information.
4. Purposes for Using Information.
Wellness Pulse Bridge may use information to schedule and administer appointments, coordinate requested services, communicate with healthcare professionals involved in your care, maintain appropriate service records, verify account details, process billing activities, assist with applicable insurance or claims processes, respond to questions, provide appointment reminders, and administer memberships or programs where offered. We may also use information to maintain website functionality, evaluate service quality, troubleshoot technical issues, prevent misuse, protect our systems, comply with legal requirements, and fulfill other purposes permitted by applicable law. Where consent is required for a particular use, we will seek consent as required.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure.
Wellness Pulse Bridge does not sell personal information or personal health information to advertisers or data brokers. Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to provide or coordinate requested services, including to appropriately authorized healthcare professionals, administrative service providers, technology vendors, billing partners, insurers, or other organizations supporting our operations. We may also disclose information when you authorize us to do so or when disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law, including certain legal, regulatory, public health, safety, or administrative circumstances. Third-party service providers handling information on our behalf may be subject to appropriate contractual confidentiality and information-handling obligations.
6. Security and Data Protection.
Wellness Pulse Bridge maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or loss of information. Depending on the system and circumstances, safeguards may include authentication controls, access restrictions, secure transmission methods, encryption where appropriate, confidentiality requirements, system maintenance procedures, and security reviews. While we take reasonable steps to protect information, no electronic system, internet transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use reasonable caution when submitting sensitive information online and should not send emergency information through routine website channels.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies.
Our website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics technologies, or similar tools to support essential functionality, remember selected preferences, maintain security, understand general website activity, and improve performance. Some technologies may be necessary for requested website functions, while optional analytics or preference technologies may be managed through available browser or website controls. Disabling certain technologies may affect portions of the website. We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for operational analysis and service improvement where permitted by applicable law.

Where permitted, we may also send newsletters, wellness information, or promotional communications based on your preferences or applicable consent requirements. You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting our team. Opting out of marketing communications does not prevent necessary administrative or service-related communications.

Depending on your circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning certain personal information maintained by Wellness Pulse Bridge. These rights may include requesting access to information, asking that inaccurate information be corrected, obtaining a copy of certain records, requesting deletion where legally permitted, or asking about particular uses or disclosures. Healthcare records and other information may be subject to legal, clinical, regulatory, or operational retention requirements that limit certain requests. We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy request to help protect information from unauthorized disclosure.

Wellness Pulse Bridge retains information for periods appropriate to the purpose for which it was collected and consistent with applicable legal, regulatory, healthcare, contractual, accounting, security, and operational requirements. Medical or healthcare-related records may be retained for periods established by applicable law or professional requirements. Other information may be maintained when necessary to administer services, resolve disputes, document transactions, satisfy legal obligations, or protect legitimate business interests. When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, destroyed, anonymized, or otherwise handled according to applicable retention procedures.
11. Children's Privacy.
Certain Wellness Pulse Bridge services may be available to minors when permitted and appropriate. Where a parent, guardian, or other authorized representative is required to provide consent, we will follow the applicable consent and privacy requirements. Information concerning minors may be subject to additional protections depending on the individual's age, the service involved, the state in which the service is provided, and applicable federal requirements. We do not intentionally request unnecessary personal information from children through general website features. If you believe information concerning a child has been submitted improperly, please contact our privacy team for review.
12. Third-Party Services and External Websites.
Wellness Pulse Bridge may use or provide access to third-party scheduling platforms, communication services, technology providers, insurance resources, or external websites. These organizations may maintain their own privacy policies and information practices. Wellness Pulse Bridge does not control the privacy practices of websites or services that it does not operate. Before submitting personal or health-related information through an external service, you should review the applicable provider's privacy notice and understand how that organization may collect, use, retain, or disclose information.
13. Legal and Regulatory Disclosures.
In certain circumstances, Wellness Pulse Bridge may be required or permitted to disclose information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, legal processes, governmental requests, professional obligations, or public health requirements. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to address certain safety concerns or protect the rights, property, or security of Wellness Pulse Bridge, our patients, personnel, or others. We seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably appropriate for the applicable purpose when required by law.
14. Changes to This Policy.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, information-handling procedures, or applicable legal requirements. Updated versions will be posted through the applicable website or service with a revised effective date or version reference. We encourage you to review the policy periodically so you remain informed about our current practices. Where applicable law requires specific notice or consent concerning a material change, Wellness Pulse Bridge will follow the requirements that apply.
