Kristen Lee, MD, Inc. ("we," "our," or "the Practice") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through this website.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website. It is separate from our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how protected health information may be used and disclosed as part of clinical care.
Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide through this website, including your name, email address, phone number, and any information you choose to include in a contact form or message.
We may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, date and time of website use, and general website usage data.
How We Use Information
We may use information submitted through this website to respond to inquiries, provide information about the Practice, coordinate scheduling, send administrative communications, maintain website security, improve website functionality, and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
Submitting information through this website does not create a doctor-patient relationship. A doctor-patient relationship is only established after the Practice accepts you as a patient and appropriate intake and consent paperwork has been completed.

Protected Health Information
If you become a patient of the Practice, information related to your care may be protected under HIPAA and applicable California medical privacy laws. Please see our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices for more information about how protected health information may be used and disclosed.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party vendors or platforms to support website hosting, analytics, scheduling, patient communication, electronic health records, payment processing, or other practice operations. These vendors may collect or process information as necessary to provide their services.
When required, we use vendors that agree to appropriate privacy, confidentiality, and security obligations.
