Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Anthony G. Beck and the operator of this website, collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our,” collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit DrAnthonyGBeck.com or any page that links to this Privacy Policy, collectively referred to as the “Site.”

By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide through an inquiry form, correspondence, or another interactive feature of the Site.

Depending on the nature of your inquiry, this information may include:

• Your name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• State and country
• Organization and professional role
• Show, publication, event, or platform information
• Proposed dates, formats, topics, or project details
• The reason for your inquiry
• Information included in your message

Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for us to understand and respond to your inquiry.

2. Clinical Inquiries and Health Information

The Site is not a patient portal and its general inquiry form is not intended for transmitting medical records or detailed health information.

Do not submit:

• Medical records
• Laboratory reports
• Detailed medical histories
• Medication lists
• Insurance information
• Government identification numbers
• Photographs of medical conditions
• Information concerning a medical emergency

A clinical inquiry may request limited administrative information, such as your name, contact information, location, and the general nature of your inquiry. Submission of this information does not establish a clinician-patient relationship and does not confirm clinical availability.

If you voluntarily include health-related information in a general inquiry, we will use it only as reasonably necessary to review, route, respond to, document, or protect the security of that communication. We may decline to respond through ordinary email when another communication method would be more appropriate.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our hosting, security, and analytics services may automatically collect limited technical information, including:

• Internet Protocol address
• Browser and device type
• Operating system
• Referring page or website
• Pages visited
• Date and time of access
• General geographic region derived from an Internet Protocol address
• Website performance and diagnostic information
• Security and error logs

We use this information to operate, secure, maintain, and understand the general use of the Site. We do not use Site analytics to make medical, employment, insurance, credit, or other eligibility decisions about visitors.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, accessibility, preferences, and limited analytics.

Where required by applicable law, nonessential technologies will be used only after appropriate notice or consent.

You may be able to restrict cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may affect the operation of some Site features.

The Site is not currently designed to use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Site to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Evaluate media, speaking, publishing, educational, professional, or clinical requests
• Communicate with you about your request
• Operate and improve the Site
• Understand general Site usage
• Maintain security and prevent misuse
• Diagnose technical problems
• Protect our rights and the rights of others
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

We will not use information submitted through an inquiry form to enroll you in marketing communications unless you separately and affirmatively request them.

6. Form Delivery and Storage

Inquiry forms are designed to send the information you provide to:

contact@dranthonygbeck.com

The Site does not intentionally maintain a separate public-facing account or customer database for these inquiries.

Messages may be processed and retained by website hosting, form-processing, transactional email, security, and email service providers. A message may remain in business email records, security logs, and routine backups for as long as reasonably necessary to address the inquiry, maintain business records, resolve disputes, protect security, or comply with legal obligations.

7. How Information May Be Disclosed

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

Service providers

We may provide information to vendors that support website hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, maintenance, or professional services. These providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services.

Legal and safety purposes

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or lawful process
• Protect the security or integrity of the Site
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site operator, visitors, or others
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business transition

Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Site or its operations. Any successor will remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

With your direction

We may disclose information when you direct or authorize us to do so.

8. No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

We do not rent inquiry-form information to third parties.

We do not use information submitted through the Site for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If these practices change, this Privacy Policy and any legally required privacy choices will be updated before the new practice begins.

9. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may link to bookstores, media platforms, podcast services, social networks, program websites, community platforms, or other independently operated services.

When you follow an external link, the third party’s privacy policy and terms govern its collection and use of information. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of independently operated websites.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of every statement, product, service, policy, or practice found on the destination website.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, protecting security, resolving disputes, and satisfying legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on:

• The nature of the inquiry
• Whether a continuing professional communication exists
• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Security and fraud-prevention needs
• Backup and disaster-recovery schedules

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information handled through the Site.

No website, email service, or method of Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should not send highly sensitive, confidential, or urgent information through the general inquiry form.

If you believe information submitted through the Site has been accessed or used improperly, contact us promptly at contact@dranthonygbeck.com.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to request that we:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information
• Provide access to personal information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Delete personal information
• Provide a portable copy of certain information
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Explain the categories and purposes of information processing
• Identify categories of recipients to whom information has been disclosed
• Review an adverse decision concerning a privacy request
• Refrain from discriminating against you for exercising a privacy right

To submit a privacy request, email:

contact@dranthonygbeck.com

Use the subject line:

Privacy Request

Please describe the request and provide enough information for us to reasonably verify that the request concerns you. We may request additional verification before disclosing, correcting, or deleting information.

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, subject to appropriate verification of their authority.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

13. California Privacy Notice

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, or delete personal information, and to receive information about its collection, use, disclosure, sale, or sharing.

During the preceding 12 months, the Site may have collected the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers, such as name, email address, telephone number, and Internet Protocol address
• Internet or electronic activity information
• Professional or organizational information voluntarily provided in an inquiry
• General location information derived from technical data
• Communications and inquiry content
• Inferences necessary to understand or route an inquiry

We use these categories for the business and operational purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by California law.

We will not discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

14. Consumer Health Data

We do not intend to operate the Site as a consumer health-data repository.

The Site does not request medical records, detailed clinical histories, precise health measurements, laboratory reports, or treatment records through its general inquiry form.

If information submitted voluntarily qualifies as consumer health data under an applicable state law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or withdraw consent for certain processing. Submit such a request to contact@dranthonygbeck.com with the subject line “Consumer Health Data Request.”

We do not sell consumer health data.

We do not use consumer health data for advertising.

15. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Site, contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

16. International Visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access it from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or another location where our service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live. Where applicable law provides additional rights, you may contact us to exercise those rights.

17. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because no uniform legal or technical standard governs all such signals, the Site may not respond to every browser-based signal.

Because we do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, the Site does not require an advertising opt-out mechanism under its current practices.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy when the Site, its information practices, or applicable requirements change.

The “Last updated” date will identify the most recent revision. Material changes may also be communicated through a prominent Site notice when appropriate.

Your continued use of the Site after a revision becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
