Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 05/26/2026 Last Updated: 05/26/2026
VITALIFE MED LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates www.vitalifemed.net (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site.
This policy is designed to comply with applicable state and federal privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR), and federal guidelines enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
1. Information We Collect
We collect two main categories of information:
Information You Provide Voluntarily: This includes personal identifiers you submit through contact forms, appointment requests, or newsletter sign-ups (e.g., name, email address, phone number).
Automatically Collected Electronic Data: When you browse our Site, we automatically collect internet or other electronic network activity information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and your interaction with our website.
2. Cookies, Analytics, and Online Tracking Technologies
In accordance with federal healthcare privacy guidelines and FTC regulations, we limit or strictly manage the use of online tracking technologies (such as cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels).
We do not deploy unauthorized third-party tracking pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Analytics) on pages where you enter sensitive health inquiries, as federal regulators consider the combination of an IP address and a health inquiry to be protected information.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or via our website cookie banner.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly to:
Respond to inquiries or process your website appointment requests.
Maintain, secure, and optimize the functionality of our Site.
Comply with legal, regulatory, or ethical healthcare obligations.
4. State-Specific Privacy Rights (California & Florida)
If you are a resident of California or Florida, state laws provide you with specific rights regarding your "Personal Data" (note that these rights generally do not apply to Protected Health Information [PHI] handled under HIPAA, which is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices).
Your State Right
Description
Right to Know / Access
You have the right to request a copy of the specific personal data we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
Right to Delete
You can request that we delete the personal data we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing
We do not sell your personal data or share it for cross-context behavioral/targeted advertising. If this changes, you have the right to opt out.
Right to Limit Sensitive Data
You have the right to limit the use of sensitive data (like precise geolocation), which we do not collect without your explicit consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request via the contact information listed at the bottom of this policy. We will verify your identity before fulfilling the request.
5. Federal Health Breach Notification
For health-adjacent data collected via online applications or forms that may not fall strictly under HIPAA jurisdiction, we comply with the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule. In the event of an unauthorized acquisition or disclosure of your personal health records or identifiers via our digital platforms, we will notify you and federal regulators in accordance with legally mandated timelines.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical, physical, and administrative safeguards (including SSL encryption) to protect website data. However, please remember that standard website contact forms are not intended for secure, confidential medical communication.
Important: Do not send highly sensitive personal health information (PHI) or emergency requests through standard website forms. Please use our secure Patient Portal “Follow my health” or call our office directly.
