Consumer and Website Policy
Effective Date: May 26, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Consumer and Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how Maiden Lane Medical, PLLC and its management services organization, KAL Health, LLC, (each or collectively, “Practice,” “MSO”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, maintain, protect, and disclose personal data about you when you visit our website, use our digital platform, or interact with our services.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and patients who access our website, mobile applications, patient portal, scheduling tools, or other digital services (collectively, the “Service” or “Services”), whether or not you create an account or become a patient.
This Privacy Policy does not replace or modify our Notice of Privacy Practices which describes how we use and disclose protected health information (PHI) created during clinical care in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). If your personal data constitutes protected health information, it is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices. To the extent this Privacy Policy conflicts with HIPAA or the Notice of Privacy Practices, we comply with HIPAA and the Notice of Privacy Practices to the extent applicable under the circumstance.
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service you are not authorized to access or use the Services and must promptly discontinue using and exit the Services.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible unless a later effective date is stated. If we make material changes, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice of such changes, posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website, and updating the effective date. We may also notify you by email if we have your email address on file. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
2. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND HIPAA
The Practice provides healthcare services through itself and/or affiliated licensed professional entities and providers. In the course of providing clinical care, certain health and medical information you provide may constitute protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA. The use and disclosure of PHI is governed exclusively by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not this Privacy Policy.
However, not all information you provide to constitutes PHI. Information you provide in order to create an account, browse the website, schedule appointments, make payments, or otherwise interact with the Services outside of clinical care — including your name, email address, shipping address, phone number, payment information, and website browsing activity — may not always be considered PHI under the circumstances and is governed by this Privacy Policy.
Any information that does not constitute PHI or protected health information under applicable law may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy.
3. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
We collect the following categories of personal data from and about users of the Services, which includes personal data you voluntarily provide to us and personal data collected automatically when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, book an appointment, pay a bill, participate in activities on the Services, or contact us:

Health-Related Information
Information you provide through intake forms, questionnaires, patient portal messages, uploaded photographs, or other communications related to your health, symptoms, medical history, medications, or treatment. When this information becomes part of your medical record or is used for clinical care, it is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and HIPAA, not this Privacy Policy.

6. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
See our Cookie Notice
7. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We do not sell your personal data for monetary consideration. We do not share protected health information, medical records, or clinical data with advertising or marketing partners.
We may share personal data in the following circumstances:
Service Providers
We share personal data with vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, website hosting, analytics, email delivery, customer support, electronic health record hosting, and information technology services. These service providers are contractually obligated to use personal data only for the purposes for which it is disclosed and to maintain appropriate security safeguards.
Payment Processors
Payment transactions are processed by Stax Payments or Global Payments Integrated. When you make a payment, your payment information is transmitted directly to the payment processor. We do not store full credit or debit card numbers. The payment processor’s privacy policy governs its use of your payment information.
Professional Entities and Providers
We share personal data with the affiliated professional entity and its licensed healthcare providers as necessary to deliver clinical services. When personal data is shared for clinical purposes, it becomes subject to our Notice of Privacy Practices and HIPAA.
Laboratories and Pharmacies
We may share personal data with laboratories and pharmacies as necessary to facilitate laboratory testing, prescription fulfillment, and related clinical services on behalf of the affiliated professional entity and providers.
Referral Partners
We may share limited personal data with specialist providers, imaging centers, or other healthcare facilities to facilitate referrals when recommended by your provider.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and any choices you may have regarding your personal data.
Legal Compliance
We may disclose personal data to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of ours, our users, or the public.
With Your Consent
We may share personal data for other purposes with your express consent, and we will not use consent obtained for one purpose as consent for a materially different purpose unless permitted by applicable law.
Advertising and Marketing Disclosures
We do not share personal data with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent, but we may provide identifiers, online activity information, or general geolocation data to advertising partners, analytics providers, or social networks in a manner that may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable privacy laws. We do not share health-related information, medical data, or clinical information with advertising partners.
Certain uses of cookies and tracking technologies described in Section 6 may result in the collection of identifiers (such as IP addresses and cookie IDs) and usage data (such as pages viewed) by third-party analytics providers. Under some state privacy laws, including the CCPA, this type of data collection may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information even though no monetary payment is exchanged. You may opt out of this type of data collection using the controls and mechanisms described in our Cookie Policy in this Privacy Policy and by contacting us pursuant to Section 15 below.
De-Identified Information
We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual, provided that we maintain and use de-identified information in de-identified form and do not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by applicable law. We contractually require recipients of de-identified information to maintain it in de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by applicable law.
8. DATA SECURITY
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Access controls and authentication requirements
- Regular security assessments and monitoring
- Employee training on data privacy and security practices
Despite these safeguards, no electronic communication or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Transmission of personal data through the Services is at your own risk, but we will maintain safeguards appropriate to the nature of the personal data we process and applicable legal requirements.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Do not share your password with anyone. If you have reason to believe that your account or personal data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
9. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Medical records and other patient-related information are retained in accordance with applicable state and federal law, payer, insurance-carrier, and professional-liability requirements. In New York, medical records are generally retained for at least six years from the date of the last treatment (or three years after a minor patient reaches the age of 18, whichever is longer).
When personal data is no longer needed for any lawful purpose, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if deletion or anonymization is not reasonably possible because the information is stored in backup archives or must be retained under law, patient-record requirements, or insurance obligations, we will securely store it and limit further processing to those purposes.
10. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Communication Preferences
Promotional Emails. If you receive promotional emails from us and wish to stop, you may opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any promotional email. This opt-out does not apply to transactional or service-related communications (such as appointment confirmations, billing notices, or clinical messages).
Text Messages (SMS). If you receive promotional text messages and wish to stop, you may reply STOP to any promotional text message, and we will honor your opt-out request in accordance with applicable law. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Telephone. You may request to be removed from promotional call lists by contacting us at the address provided below.
Opting out of promotional communications will not affect clinical communications from your provider or service-related messages necessary to operate your account.
Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Know and Access. You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you, the sources of that data, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared.

Right to Correct. You may request correction of inaccurate personal data we maintain about you.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data for targeted advertising purposes. Although we do not intentionally sell personal data for monetary consideration, certain data-sharing practices (such as the use of tracking pixels) may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some state laws. You may opt out by enabling the Global Privacy Control in your browser, adjusting your cookie settings, or contacting us directly.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Data. You may request that we limit the use of sensitive personal data to purposes necessary to provide the Services you have requested.

If you access, use, or interact with the Services from outside the United States, including the European Economic Area, this Privacy Policy applies together with any mandatory privacy disclosures required by the laws of your jurisdiction, and, to the extent those laws apply, we may rely on legal bases such as your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests, or our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services. To the extent there is any conflict between this section and the other sections of the Privacy Policy, this section shall govern.
More specifically, the laws of some jurisdictions, such as the European Union, require companies to tell you about the legal basis for using, sharing, or disclosing your information. To the extent those laws apply, we may rely on the following legal bases:
- performance of a contract: where use of your information is necessary to provide you with the Services under a contract; for example, the Terms and Conditions.
- legitimate interest: where use of your information is necessary for our or others’ legitimate interests and where the use is not outweighed by your rights and interests. Below are some examples of such interests:
- providing the Services;
- improving the Services and developing new ones;
- recognizing and better understanding our users, including across platforms;
- conducting security and fraud prevention activities;
- marketing and promoting our content and services;
- building and managing business relationships;
- conducting compliance and risk management activities; and
- providing and managing access to our systems
- legal obligation: where use of your information is necessary to comply with laws and regulations such as those relating to anti-bribery and corruption and anti-money-laundering, complying with requests from government bodies or courts, or responding to litigation.
- with consent: we may ask for your consent to process your information in a certain way. Where we rely on this basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you: We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time. In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
- If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be timely obtained.
- For investigations and fraud detection and prevention.
- For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.
- If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
- For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
- If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse.
- If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.
- If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
- If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.
- If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
- If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations.
14. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.
Examples of third-party services you may be directed to through the Services include laboratory ordering portals, pharmacy websites, specialist referral platforms, payment processing pages, advertising networks, analytics platforms, and social networks. Each of these services is governed by its own privacy policy.
