This Privacy Policy explains how ICD Codes Info collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit icdcodesinfo.com, submit a form, post a comment, subscribe to updates, or otherwise interact with the website.
Information You Provide
We may collect information that you choose to provide, including:
- Your name and email address when you contact us or post a comment
- The subject and contents of a message submitted through a form
- Subscription preferences if you sign up for email updates
- Any other information you voluntarily include in a submission
Do not submit patient records, medical record numbers, claim numbers, insurance member identifiers, Social Security numbers, payment card details, or protected health information. The website is not designed to receive or manage patient information.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the website, the site and its service providers may automatically receive technical information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, and diagnostic or security events. This information may be recorded in server logs, analytics systems, security tools, or similar technologies.
The website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate site features, remember preferences, maintain security, measure traffic, understand content performance, and support advertising where enabled. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be placed by analytics, advertising, embedded-content, or social-media providers.
You can control many cookies through your browser and any consent tool offered on the website. Blocking cookies may affect some features. Your choices do not necessarily prevent all server logs or technologies that are required for security and operation.
Comments and Gravatar
If comments are enabled, we may collect the information entered in the comment form together with technical information used for spam prevention and security. An anonymized string created from an email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether the commenter uses that service. If a comment is approved, the profile image associated with Gravatar may be visible with the comment.
How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website
- Respond to questions, correction requests, privacy requests, and legal notices
- Moderate comments and reduce spam, fraud, and abuse
- Measure traffic and understand how visitors use the website
- Send requested updates and manage subscription preferences
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce website terms
Analytics Advertising and Embedded Content
The website may use third-party services for analytics, advertising, email delivery, spam filtering, security, hosting, or embedded media. These providers may collect information through their own technologies and process it under their own privacy terms. Embedded content, such as a video, social post, image, or external tool, may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly.
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Depending on the technologies used and the law that applies, certain analytics or advertising disclosures may be treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Where applicable, users may have a right to opt out.
When Information May Be Disclosed
Information may be disclosed:
- To service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising, or website operations
- When required by law, legal process, or a valid government request
- When reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or prevent abuse
- As part of a merger, sale, financing, reorganization, or transfer of website assets, subject to applicable law
Service providers should receive only the information reasonably needed to perform their function and may be subject to contractual or legal duties concerning that information.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain security and records, to resolve disputes, or to meet legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the service involved.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No method of Internet transmission, hosting, or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, a copy of information, restriction or objection to certain processing, or an opt-out from certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising. You may also have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right.
To submit a request, use the Contact Us page and select the privacy-related option. Describe your request and the email address or other information needed to locate the relevant record. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of authority. Rights and exceptions vary by jurisdiction.
Children’s Privacy
The website is intended for a general and professional audience 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, contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.
International Visitors
The website may be accessed from different countries. Information may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate, and privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where required, we will use an appropriate legal basis and safeguards for processing or transferring information.
Third-Party Websites
This Privacy Policy does not govern third-party websites or services linked from ICD Codes Info. Review the privacy terms of those third parties before providing information to them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when website practices, services, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may be highlighted through an additional notice when appropriate.
