Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 8, 2026

Sarasota Institute of Plastic Surgery respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through our website, social media pages, advertisements, and online forms, including TikTok lead forms.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• Your name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• General information about the service or consultation you are interested in
• Communications you send to our office

Please do not provide medical records, photographs, detailed health information, insurance information, Social Security numbers, or payment information through TikTok or other social media forms.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiry
• Contact you regarding a consultation or requested service
• Provide information about our practice and services
• Schedule or help coordinate an appointment
• Improve our advertising and communications
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements

Submitting an online form does not establish a physician-patient relationship and does not guarantee that you are a candidate for any procedure.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

We do not sell your personal information.

Information may be shared with service providers that help us operate our website, advertising, communications, or scheduling systems, including the platform through which you submitted the form. These providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our patients, practice, legal rights, or the safety of others.

TIKTOK AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS

Forms submitted through TikTok or another social media platform are also subject to that platform’s privacy practices and terms.

Information submitted through a social media form should not be considered a secure method for communicating confidential medical information.

COMMUNICATIONS

By providing your contact information and requesting to be contacted, you authorize Sarasota Institute of Plastic Surgery to respond using the email address or telephone number provided.

Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of receiving medical care. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe option or contacting our office.

DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect the information in our possession. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our forms and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through these forms.

YOUR CHOICES

You may contact us to request that we correct or delete personal information collected through a marketing inquiry, subject to applicable legal and record-retention requirements.

MEDICAL PRIVACY

Once you become a patient, protected health information maintained by our practice may be governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable healthcare privacy laws.

This online Privacy Policy does not replace the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
