The Institute of Mindful Medicine (“IMM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit instituteofmindfulmedicine.com (the “Website”), contact us, request information, or apply for or participate in an IMM training program.

By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not submit personal information through the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

Information you provide directly

  • Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and preferred method of contact.

  • Professional information, such as your credentials, license type, practice name, professional role, clinical background, and training interests.

  • Application and enrollment information, including information you submit when requesting information, applying for training, completing enrollment documents, or communicating with our team.

  • Transaction information relating to tuition, invoices, payments, cancellations, transfers, or refunds. Payment card or bank information may be collected and processed directly by a third-party payment processor; IMM may not receive or store complete payment credentials.

  • Communications you send to us by email, telephone, text message, online form, or other means.

  • Any other information you voluntarily provide.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address;

  • browser, device, and operating-system information;

  • referring and exit pages;

  • pages viewed, links selected, and dates and times of visits;

  • approximate location derived from an IP address; and

  • cookie identifiers and similar technical information.

We may use cookies, log files, and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, understand Website performance, maintain security, and improve the user experience. You may adjust your browser to block or delete cookies, although some Website features may not function properly as a result.

2. How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • respond to inquiries and provide requested information;

  • review training applications and assess program eligibility;

  • administer enrollment, scheduling, tuition, payments, agreements, attendance, support, and related program services;

  • communicate with applicants, attendees, alumni, and professional contacts;

  • send administrative notices, training updates, and, where permitted, educational or promotional communications;

  • personalize and improve the Website and IMM programs;

  • maintain the security and integrity of our systems;

  • protect our rights, safety, property, programs, materials, and users;

  • comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations; and

  • carry out any other purpose disclosed when the information is collected or with your consent.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or contacting us. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP. Even after opting out of promotional messages, we may still send non-promotional communications concerning an application, enrollment, payment, or training program.

3. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers. We may provide information to vendors that support our Website, hosting, forms, communications, document signing, payment processing, accounting, scheduling, analytics, security, and business operations. These providers may use information only as permitted by their agreements with us and applicable law. IMM uses FormHippo, a HIPAA-compliant form platform, for certain application, enrollment, and clinical forms.

  • Training and operational partners. We may provide information to faculty, staff, contractors, affiliated entities, or training-location personnel when reasonably necessary to review an application or administer a program.

  • Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, or protect the safety of any person.

  • Business transactions. Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, change in control, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.

  • With your direction or consent. We may disclose information when you ask us to or otherwise consent.

IMM does not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by applicable state privacy laws. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices.

4. Third-Party Forms, Services, and Links

The Website may link to or incorporate services operated by third parties, including FormHippo application forms, payment or document-signature services, YouTube videos, Google Maps, social-media platforms, or other external websites. IMM uses FormHippo as a HIPAA-compliant form platform; however, other third parties may collect information directly from you and may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies. Except where a service provider processes information on our behalf under an applicable agreement, IMM does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, accessibility, or content practices of third-party services.

5. Medical and Patient Information

The Website is intended for professional education and training inquiries. It is not a patient portal and should not be used to request medical care, communicate an emergency, or transmit patient-identifying information or protected health information.

If an eligible training participant separately elects to receive an optional clinical or experiential service through Priority You MD, medical information will be collected through separate HIPAA-compliant FormHippo clinical intake and consent forms and handled in accordance with Priority You MD’s Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law. Submitting a training inquiry or application does not create a patient-provider relationship.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, administer our programs and relationships, comply with legal and financial obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use care when sending information electronically and do not submit sensitive patient or medical information through general Website forms or email.

8. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us. Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have additional rights concerning your personal information, including rights to know, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict certain uses of your information.

To make a privacy request, email info@instituteofmindfulmedicine.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of authorization. We will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the Website may not respond to them. We will honor browser-based opt-out preference signals when required by applicable law.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Website and IMM programs are intended for adults and licensed healthcare professionals. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

10. Visitors Outside the United States

IMM is based in Florida, United States. If you access the Website from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where required, we will process information in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. If we make a material change, we may provide additional notice when required by law. Your continued use of the Website after an update is subject to the revised policy.
