Website Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

This policy explains what rivasurgerycenter.com collects and how we use it.

This is not our Notice of Privacy Practices. Your protected health information as a patient is covered by a separate document — our Notice of Privacy Practices — which explains how RIVA Surgery Center uses and discloses medical information and what rights you have over your record. This page covers the website only.

What we collect

Automatically. Like most websites, our server records the IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and time of the visit. We use this to keep the site working and secure.

When you contact us. If you fill out a form or send us an email, we receive whatever you provide — typically your name, contact information, and your message.

We do not ask for medical information through this website, and we ask you not to send it.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not use third-party advertising or tracking pixels on this site. We do not place advertising trackers on pages about medical conditions or procedures. This is a deliberate choice.
  • We do not use your information to build an advertising profile.

Cookies

We use cookies necessary for the site to function. If we add analytics, we will update this policy first and say what tool we use and what it collects.

How we protect information

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and limit access to information submitted through the site to staff who need it.

Email and web forms are not secure channels. Please do not use them for medical information.

Your California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect and how we use it
  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Request that we delete it
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Not be treated differently for exercising these rights

To make a request, contact us at info@rivasurgerycenter.com or (510) 513-5747. We will verify your identity before responding.

Medical information covered by HIPAA is handled under our Notice of Privacy Practices, not under this policy.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We will post any changes here and update the date above.
