Elevate Medical Center (“Elevate,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information and health information entrusted to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you:
Because Elevate Medical Center provides healthcare services, certain information we maintain is subject to federal and Washington healthcare privacy laws, including HIPAA and Washington's health-care information laws.
This Privacy Policy is intended to describe our website and general privacy practices. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which separately explains how we may use and disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) and describes your rights under HIPAA.
The information we collect depends on how you interact with Elevate Medical Center.
You may provide information such as:
Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers. We do not intend to store complete payment card numbers on our website servers.
When you request or receive healthcare services, we may collect information necessary to evaluate and provide care, including:
When applicable, this information may constitute Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA or health-care information protected under Washington law.
Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices provides additional information about how PHI may be used and disclosed.
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:
We may use this information to operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website.
Washington's My Health My Data Act defines consumer health data broadly, including certain information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to a person's physical or mental health status.
However, the Act expressly excludes information that qualifies as HIPAA Protected Health Information and certain health-care information collected, used, or disclosed under Washington's health-care information law.
To the extent information collected through our website or other non-clinical interactions is subject to Washington's My Health My Data Act, we handle that information in accordance with applicable requirements.
Depending on how information is collected and used, this may include information that indicates that an individual is seeking or considering healthcare services.
We do not sell consumer health data.
We do not use consumer health data for targeted advertising purposes.
We may use information for purposes including:
We may use information to:
Information may be used as permitted by applicable law for:
Uses and disclosures of PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations are addressed more fully in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
We may use contact information you provide to:
You may opt out of promotional email or text communications as described below.
Opting out of promotional communications does not necessarily stop administrative or care-related communications that are necessary to provide requested services.
Technical information may be used to:
We may use or disclose information when permitted or required by applicable law, including to:
We do not sell your personal information or consumer health data.
Depending on the circumstances, information may be disclosed to:

Where required by applicable law, appropriate contractual or other safeguards are used for protected information.
Information may be shared as permitted by applicable law for treatment, payment, healthcare operations, and other legitimate business purposes.
Information may be disclosed when required or permitted by applicable federal or Washington law, including applicable requirements governing health-care information and PHI.
Where required, we will obtain your authorization before using or disclosing identifiable health information for purposes not otherwise permitted by law.
For example, certain uses of patient photographs or identifiable testimonials for marketing may require authorization.
Elevate Medical Center maintains a separate Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) for Protected Health Information.
The NPP explains:
Our NPP is available upon request and is made available on our website as required by HIPAA. HHS requires covered healthcare providers to provide and prominently make their NPP available to individuals, including through a website that provides information about the provider's services.
[View our Notice of Privacy Practices →]
If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the NPP concerning PHI, the NPP and applicable law govern the handling of PHI.
Washington law provides additional protections for health-care information. In general, Washington law restricts disclosure of a patient's health-care information except where authorized or otherwise permitted by law.
Patients may have rights concerning access to their health-care information and certain disclosures, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
These rights operate alongside applicable federal privacy protections.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for:
If Google Analytics or another analytics service is enabled on our website, it may collect technical and usage information about visitors according to its applicable configuration and privacy practices.
Analytics information is used to understand website performance and visitor engagement.
We do not intentionally use website tracking technologies to create or share health profiles for targeted advertising.
Because technologies and third-party services can change, we periodically review website integrations and tracking tools.
Where legally required, applicable consent mechanisms will be used before placing or activating technologies that require consent.
Our website may receive general location information associated with an IP address.
We do not intentionally collect precise GPS location information through our website.
We do not use geofencing technology to identify or target individuals based on their physical location around healthcare facilities.

Other information may be retained as necessary for:
When information is no longer required, we may securely delete, destroy, or deidentify it in accordance with applicable requirements.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Depending on the system and information involved, safeguards may include:
Washington's My Health My Data Act also requires applicable entities to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security practices appropriate to the nature and volume of covered consumer health data.
No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
Examples may include:
When you leave our website, the third party's privacy policy and terms may apply.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Your privacy rights depend on the type of information involved and the law that applies.
Where applicable, HIPAA provides individuals with rights concerning their PHI, including rights to:
HHS explains that covered providers must describe these rights and the provider's privacy duties in the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Washington law provides additional rights and protections concerning health-care information, including rights relating to access and certain disclosures.
To the extent the Washington My Health My Data Act applies to information we collect, you may have rights provided by that law, including rights to request access, deletion, or withdrawal of consent, subject to applicable exceptions.
The Act requires covered entities to explain how consumers can exercise applicable rights and generally requires a privacy policy to identify the categories of consumer health data collected, sources, shared categories, third-party categories, and how rights may be exercised.
