Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

About This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Curative Digestive Disease Center (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information you share through this website. It applies to this website and the forms on it. It does not apply to other companies’ websites we link to.

This policy is separate from our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information created or received in the course of your care. Where the two overlap, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls for protected health information. Ask our front desk for a copy, or call us at (713) 393-7744.

Information You Give Us

When you request an appointment, submit a form, or contact us using the details on this site, you may give us:

• Your name

• Phone number and email address

• Your preferred location, provider, or appointment time

• Your insurance carrier, if you choose to tell us

• A short description of your symptom or reason for the visit

Please do not send detailed medical records, test results, images, or other sensitive health information through this website or by ordinary email. Those channels are not encrypted and are not a secure way to share medical information. Call us instead and we will tell you how to send it safely.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site records some technical information when you visit:

• Your IP address and the approximate city or region it maps to

• Browser type, device type, and operating system

• Pages you viewed, how long you stayed, and the site or search that referred you

• Identifiers set by cookies used for analytics and site features

We use this to understand which pages are useful, to spot errors, and to keep the site secure. We do not use it to identify you personally.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Essential cookies keep the site working. Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how the site is used. If you switch the site into another language, the translation tool sets a cookie to remember that choice on your device.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site may not work as expected.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to appointment requests, questions, and callback requests

• To schedule, confirm, and remind you about visits

• To check insurance eligibility and explain self-pay pricing

• To operate, secure, and improve this website

• To meet legal, regulatory, and professional record-keeping obligations

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only in these situations:

• Service providers — hosting, scheduling, email, and analytics vendors that work on our behalf and are required to protect the information they handle for us

• Your health plan — for eligibility, prior authorization, and claims

• Other treating clinicians — when they are involved in your care

• Legal and safety — when required by law, subpoena, court order, or a public health authority, or to protect the safety of a person

Third-Party Services on This Site

Some features are provided by other companies. Online scheduling runs on a third-party booking platform. Maps, page translation, and review links are provided by Google. When you use one of these features, you are also interacting with that company under its own privacy policy and terms, and we do not control what it collects.

How We Protect Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information submitted through this site, including encrypted connections and restricted staff access. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How Long We Keep It

We keep website inquiries only as long as needed to answer them and to satisfy our record-keeping obligations. Medical records are retained separately, for the periods required by Texas law and our record-retention policy.

Your Choices

• Ask what information this website holds about you, and ask us to correct or delete it

• Opt out of appointment reminders or marketing messages at any time

• Block or clear cookies through your browser

• Request a copy of our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

To make a request, contact us using the details below. Requests involving protected health information are handled under HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices rather than this policy.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through it. Care for a minor patient is arranged directly with our office by a parent or guardian.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of the page. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
