3. Recorded and Automated Calls

When you call us, or receive a call from us, we may use call recording and automated calling or texting systems to help confirm, reschedule, or remind you about appointments.

• Calls may be recorded for quality assurance, scheduling accuracy, and training purposes. By calling us or accepting a call from us, you consent to such recording to the extent permitted by law.
• If you would prefer to speak with a live team member, you may request this during the call, or reach us using the contact information in Section 11 (Contact Us).
• Information gathered through phone or text communications, such as your name, phone number, address, and service details, is used and protected in the same way as information collected through our website, as described throughout this Privacy Policy.

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers who assist us in operating our website, phone systems, and business, such as our website host, Google Analytics, our scheduling and customer-relationship software, and our SMS/call platform — all of whom are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us
• Law enforcement or government agencies, if required by law or to protect our legal rights

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or marketing partners for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to understand how visitors use our site. We use:

• Google Analytics cookies to track aggregate website traffic and usage patterns

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality. Our website does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, as no common industry standard for such signals has been adopted.

6. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

• The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
• The right to request deletion of your personal information (subject to certain exceptions)
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising)
• The right to limit the use of sensitive personal information (not applicable — we do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA)
