Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Gary Alan Jacob, DC, LAc, MPH (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with this website (garyjacob.com). By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
This is an informational website. It does not host an online form, account login, or patient portal, and it does not ask you to submit personal information through the site itself.
- Information you give us directly. If you email or call using the contact details on this site, we receive whatever you choose to share — typically your name, email address or phone number, and the contents of your message.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the date and time of your request. This is used to operate and secure the site.
Cookies and tracking
This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies, and it does not track you across other websites. Fonts and other assets are served directly from this site rather than third-party networks, so simply visiting these pages does not share your information with outside advertising or analytics companies.
How we use information
We use the information you provide to respond to your questions, schedule or discuss appointments, and provide care-related communication you request. We may also use technical information to maintain the security and proper functioning of the site.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share information only:
- with service providers who help us operate, such as our website host and our email provider (email sent to us is delivered through Google’s Gmail service);
- when required by law, regulation, or valid legal process; or
- to protect the rights, safety, or property of our patients, the public, or the practice.
A note about health information
Please do not include detailed medical or health information in email or through this website. Email is not a secure channel. Health information you share in the course of care at the practice is handled separately, under the practice’s confidentiality obligations and applicable law.
Data retention
We keep the information you send us only as long as needed to respond to you and to meet our legal, professional, and recordkeeping obligations, after which it is deleted or retained in line with those requirements.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are commonly defined. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
To make a request, email us at dclacmph@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or method of transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
