Privacy Policy

Dermatology Associates of McLean ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit mcleandermatology.com (the "Website"). It applies to the Website only. How we handle your protected health information as a patient is described separately in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you use our contact or appointment form, we collect the name, email address, phone number, and any details you choose to include in your message. If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, in order to keep the site secure and working properly.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, to schedule or manage appointment requests, and, if you have subscribed, to send you practice updates. We do not sell your personal information.

How your information is shared

We share information only as needed to operate the Website and respond to you. Messages you send through our forms are delivered to the practice by email through our email service provider. Our forms use Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and abuse; your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We embed Google Maps to show our location, and Google may receive technical information about your visit. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Health information

Please do not send medical details, symptoms, photographs, diagnoses, or medication information through the Website. For medical matters, use our secure patient portal or call the office. Protected health information you share with us as a patient is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law, not by this Website Privacy Policy.

Third-party features such as reCAPTCHA and Google Maps may set cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

You may contact us at (703) 790-5850 or info@mcleandermatology.com to ask about the information we hold about you or to request a correction. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws.

Children's privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Website.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information submitted through the Website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
