Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your web browser when you visit a website.

Cookies may allow a website to:

• Recognize a browser or device
• Remember certain preferences
• Maintain website functionality
• Understand how visitors use the website
• Measure website performance
• Support third-party website features

Cookies can be temporary or remain on a device for a longer period, depending on their purpose and configuration.

Similar technologies may include:

• Local storage
• Pixels
• Web beacons
• Tags
• Scripts
• Software development tools
• Other browser or device technologies

For simplicity, this policy may refer to these technologies collectively as cookies or similar technologies.

Summit may use analytics or performance technologies to better understand how visitors interact with the website.

Depending on the tools enabled, analytics information may help us understand:

• How many people visit the website
• Which pages are viewed
• General traffic sources
• Device and browser types
• General website navigation patterns
• Page-loading performance
• Technical errors
• Which website features are being used

We use this type of information to improve:

• Website usability
• Content
• Navigation
• Technical performance
• Accessibility
• Patient and visitor experience

Analytics technologies should be configured and used in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and healthcare requirements.

Summit uses ChiroTouch for online appointment scheduling and patient-intake functions.

When you leave the Summit public website or interact with an embedded or linked ChiroTouch service, that system may use its own cookies or similar technologies.

Information collected through ChiroTouch may also be subject to:

• ChiroTouch's applicable privacy and technology practices
• Summit's Notice of Privacy Practices
• HIPAA
• Other applicable healthcare privacy requirements

Summit does not use this Cookie Policy to authorize uses or disclosures of protected health information that require separate legal permission.

The Summit website may use or link to third-party services.

Depending on the final website configuration, these could include:

• Appointment and patient-intake tools
• Website analytics
• Maps
• Embedded media
• Social media
• Website security services
• Accessibility tools
• Payment services
• Other website functionality

Third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their services are loaded.

Their use of information may be subject to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Summit evaluates third-party services before implementation where appropriate, particularly when those services could interact with sensitive information.

Summit does not intend to use protected health information for unrelated targeted advertising.

If advertising or marketing technologies are added to the public website, they will be evaluated before implementation for compliance with applicable privacy and healthcare requirements.

Where consent or another legally required permission is necessary, Summit will use appropriate mechanisms.

A general website cookie banner does not replace any authorization that may separately be required for use or disclosure of protected health information.

Where the website uses optional cookies, Summit may provide a cookie-preference tool that allows visitors to make choices regarding certain categories of cookies.

Depending on the final website configuration, available choices may include:

• Essential cookies
• Functional cookies
• Analytics cookies
• Marketing or advertising cookies

Essential technologies may remain active where they are necessary for website functionality, security, or another legally permitted purpose.

Cookie-preference options may change as the website's technology changes.

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookies.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies
• Delete cookies
• Block cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Receive warnings before cookies are stored
• Limit tracking technologies
• Clear browsing data when you close the browser

The exact controls depend on the browser and device you use.

Blocking cookies may affect certain website functionality.

Certain browsers and privacy tools may send automated privacy-preference signals.

Where Summit is legally required to recognize an applicable browser-based privacy preference or opt-out signal, we will make reasonable efforts to do so in accordance with applicable law and the capabilities of our website technology.

Not all browser signals have the same legal effect in every jurisdiction.

Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track setting.

There is not currently one universally adopted technical standard governing how every website must respond to all Do Not Track signals.

Summit may instead provide cookie-preference controls or honor other legally recognized privacy mechanisms when applicable.

Summit's website will evolve over time.

We may:

• Add or remove website tools
• Change analytics providers
• Update scheduling integrations
• Modify embedded services
• Change hosting or security tools
• Add accessibility technology
• Modify cookie-preference controls

When these changes materially affect how cookies or similar technologies are used, we may update this Cookie Policy.

The Last Updated date at the top of the page identifies the current version.

Please do not include detailed medical information in an ordinary website-privacy email.
