Who we are
Our website address is: https://accschicago.com. All Care Clinical Services, LLC is a wellness and medical service provider, and this privacy policy applies to all activities conducted via our website and digital tools.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. As part of how the platform works, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify whether you’re using it; if so, your profile picture may appear publicly alongside your comment once it’s approved. Gravatar’s privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
Images uploaded to the website should not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to extract location information from them.
Cookies
If you comment on the site, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are a convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again later. The cookie will last one year. Additionally, upon visiting the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.
When logging in, several cookies may be created: one to save your login information and another for screen display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days; display preference cookies last for a year. If “Remember Me” is selected, your login may persist for two weeks. Logging out removes those cookies. Should you edit or publish an article, your browser may store a cookie indicating the article’s post ID — this one expires after one day and includes no personal data.
Embedded Content
Articles or pages may include embedded media — like videos or images — from third-party websites. These behave as though the visitor has gone directly to that third-party site. As such, those sites may collect data, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content if you’re logged in to their platform.
Data Collection & Use
In the course of using our services, we may collect the following information, either directly or indirectly:
- Identifiable personal information such as your name, email, phone number, etc.
- Health and medical information including but not limited to your history, treatment details, medications, and insurance records.
- Usage data like your IP address, browser type, and interactions with our website or patient tools.
This information may be used for purposes such as appointment scheduling and confirmation, processing of insurance claims and co-pays, providing customized wellness or medical services based on your history, improving the overall user experience, and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations including but not limited to HIPAA.
HIPAA Compliance
Because All Care Clinical Services, LLC operates as a healthcare provider, we adhere strictly to the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Your protected health information (PHI) is only accessed by authorized personnel for valid treatment, payment, or operational needs. Security protocols, both technical and administrative, are in place to reduce risks to your medical data. Patients have the right to request access to, amendments of, or restrictions on the handling of their health information as allowed by HIPAA
Data Sharing
We do not sell or arbitrarily distribute your information to third parties. Information may be shared only under certain limited circumstances:
- When legally required, such as in response to subpoenas or regulatory inquiries.
- With your prior consent, where such consent has been documented.
- With service providers directly supporting our operations (e.g. medical billing software providers, insurance processing partners) who are equally bound by privacy obligations.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely to help with automated moderation. For users who register or interact with protected areas of the site, we store all personal details you provide, which you may review, edit, or delete (with the exception of usernames). Administrators may also view and update this information. Medical records and health-related data may be stored in accordance with legal retention periods set by HIPAA and other regulations.
Your Rights
You retain the right to request a copy of all personal data and medical information we hold about you, and to request corrections where appropriate. You may also request that we delete personal data, though exceptions may apply in cases where we are legally obligated to retain certain records.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be filtered through automated anti-spam services. In some cases, your data may pass through third-party platforms that help us operate our website or services — always under protective agreements.
Security Practices
While we apply reasonable technical safeguards — encrypted communications, secure backups, and access restrictions — no method of internet transmission is completely immune to risk. As such, we cannot absolutely guarantee data security and ask that you contact us promptly if you suspect any misuse of your information.
Policy Updates
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be reflected by the “Effective Date” above and will always be available on this page. Changes may be made without prior notice.
