Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 6/16/2025
At Risson Medical & Aesthetics, your privacy is an essential part of our care philosophy. As a hybrid medical and aesthetics practice rooted in more than 12 years of trusted primary care, we are committed to respecting and protecting the confidentiality of the personal and medical information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our clinic, use our services, or interact with us online.
Information We Collect
When you engage with Risson Medical & Aesthetics , we may collect a range of personal, medical, and technical data to serve you more effectively. This information can come directly from you or be automatically gathered through our digital systems. You may be asked to provide personal details such as your name, address, phone number, and email address when scheduling an appointment, signing up for updates, or filling out intake forms. During your consultations and treatments, we collect medically relevant information, including your health history, current skin condition, medications, treatment preferences, and any known allergies. We retain these records as required by law and to ensure continuity and safety in your care.
When you interact with our website or digital booking tools, our systems may also automatically gather non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser type, time of visit, and how you navigated through our site. This data helps us analyze web traffic, improve our website’s functionality, and ensure a better user experience. In some instances, we may also collect information from third-party services, such as payment gateways or advertising platforms, if you’ve interacted with our practice through those services. All collected data is handled with care and stored in secure systems.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to deliver exceptional care and service to every patient. Medical and personal data are primarily used to assess your needs, provide accurate treatment, monitor progress, and create personalized skin care plans. Your contact details may be used to send appointment reminders, post-treatment care instructions, and relevant updates about your services. We may also contact you for follow-ups or to share educational materials and occasional promotional offers, all of which you can opt out of at any time.
For billing and administrative purposes, we use your information to process payments, manage insurance documentation (if applicable), and ensure accurate recordkeeping. Our team may also use anonymized, aggregated data to better understand patient trends and improve overall service delivery. None of your identifiable personal information will ever be sold or traded to outside parties. Any use of your data for marketing purposes will be explicitly disclosed, and your consent will be obtained in advance.
Your Rights and Choices
As our patient or visitor, you have specific rights regarding the personal data you share with us. You may request access to the information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request that certain data be deleted when legally permissible. You also have the right to withdraw your consent for any non-essential uses of your information, such as email marketing communications. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly, and our administrative team will respond in a timely and respectful manner.
Data Security and Confidentiality
Protecting your data is not only a legal requirement—it’s a vital part of the trust you place in us. Risson Medical & Aesthetics uses industry-standard security measures, including encrypted databases, secure communication tools, and strict access protocols, to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. All staff members are trained on HIPAA compliance and confidentiality best practices, ensuring that your private medical data is handled with the highest level of integrity. While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we take every reasonable precaution to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your information.
Sharing of Information
In limited circumstances, we may need to share your information with third parties in order to facilitate your care or fulfill our legal obligations. These third parties may include healthcare professionals involved in your treatment, third-party billing services, insurance providers, laboratories, or regulatory agencies. We may also share certain technical data with web service providers who help us maintain our digital infrastructure. All such third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements or professional codes of conduct to ensure your information remains protected. We will never disclose your information for commercial or non-essential purposes without your explicit permission.
Cookies and Online Tracking
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how users interact with our site. These tools allow us to streamline navigation, analyze traffic, and provide personalized content. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, though this may affect the performance of some features on our site.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal or medical information from anyone in this age group without parental or guardian consent. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly and notify the appropriate parties.
Legal Compliance
We comply with all applicable privacy regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and any relevant state data protection laws. Our privacy practices are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain up to date with the latest legal and technological standards. In the event of a data breach that may compromise your information, we will notify you as required by law and outline the steps being taken to address the issue.
Third-Party Links
Our website and digital communications may include links to third-party websites for your convenience or reference. These websites operate independently of Risson Medical & Aesthetics and have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their policies before sharing any information with them.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may reflect updates to our practices, technology, or regulatory requirements. When we make changes, the revised policy will be posted to our website with a new effective date.
