[DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how the website for Dr. Namita Swarup
(“we,” “our,” or “the practice”) may collect, use, and protect
information when you visit swarupmd.com or submit
information through the website.

Information You May Provide

When you use a general contact or appointment-request form, you may
choose to provide information such as your name, email address,
telephone number, preferred method of contact, and a general message.

Please do not submit detailed medical histories, diagnoses, medication
lists, Social Security numbers, insurance identification numbers,
payment-card information, or other sensitive health information through
a general website contact form unless the form is specifically
identified as a secure method approved by the practice.

Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, the site may collect limited technical information
automatically, such as browser type, device type, approximate location
derived from an IP address, pages visited, referral source, and general
website interaction data. This information may be collected through
hosting logs, security tools, analytics services, cookies, or similar
technologies used to operate and improve the website.

How Information May Be Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

• Respond to general inquiries and appointment requests.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
• Understand general website usage and performance.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, spam, or security incidents.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Contact Forms and Medical Information

The public website contact form is intended for general communication
only. Submission of a form does not establish a physician-patient
relationship and should not be used for emergency communication or
detailed medical discussions.

If you become a patient, health information collected through approved
clinical systems may be subject to different privacy practices and
applicable healthcare privacy laws. Those practices are separate from
this general website Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential
website functionality, security, analytics, or performance measurement.

Third-Party Services

The website may link to or embed services operated by third parties,
such as Google Maps, Google Reviews, analytics tools, scheduling systems,
secure patient forms, or external educational resources. Those services
operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect
the website and information submitted through it. However, no website,
email message, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be
completely secure.

Data Retention

General inquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary
to respond, maintain business records, comply with legal requirements,
or protect the practice’s legitimate interests.

Children’s Privacy

This public website is intended to provide information for patients and
families. Children should not independently submit personal information
through the website without appropriate parent or guardian involvement
when required by law.

Your Choices

You may contact the practice to ask questions about information you have
submitted through the website. Rights relating to clinical records are
governed by separate healthcare privacy procedures and applicable law.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be updated when website features, service providers, or
legal requirements change. The revised date will be posted at the top
of this page.
