Privacy Policy
How MVM Heart, Vein and Vascular Centers handles information collected through this website.
MVM Heart, Vein and Vascular Centers ("MVM," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit mvmcardio.com or interact with our website.
This policy covers the website only. A separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices governs how we handle protected health information (PHI) collected in the course of patient care, which you'll receive at your first visit.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
When you submit a consultation request, newsletter signup, or contact form, we collect the information you choose to share, typically your name, phone number, email address, preferred office location, best callback time, and a brief, non-medical reason for visit.
Our forms are intentionally designed to avoid collecting personal health information through the website. We ask that you discuss symptoms, diagnoses, medications, and test results over the phone or in person, where conversations are secure.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect limited technical information:
- Device type, operating system, and browser
- IP address and approximate location (city-level)
- Pages visited, time on site, and how you arrived at the site
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4)
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to consultation requests and schedule appointments
- Send appointment confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups
- Provide educational content you've subscribed to receive
- Improve the website's content, performance, and accessibility
- Comply with legal obligations
3. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate the practice:
- Service providers: vendors who host the website, send appointment reminders, process forms, or analyze site usage on our behalf
- Insurance plans: when verifying benefits before your visit, only as authorized by you
- Legal authorities: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of patients and staff
4. Cookies and tracking
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember preferences, and measure how visitors use the site. Categories include:
- Strictly necessary: required for site navigation and security
- Analytics: anonymized data on how visitors find and use the site (Google Analytics or similar)
- Functional: remembering preferences such as language or accessibility settings
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may affect some site functionality.
5. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding the personal information we hold:

6. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS), restricted access, and regular security review. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, however. Please do not send sensitive medical information through web forms or email.
7. Children's privacy
This website is intended for adults seeking cardiovascular and vascular care. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Third-party links
Our website may link to external sites (such as Google Maps, social media, or referring physician resources). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
