Privacy Notice
Effective July 15, 2026
This notice explains how Sunshine Orthopedic Clinic, PLLC (“Sunshine Orthopedics,” “we,” “our”) handles information collected through sunshineorthopedics.com. It covers our public website only. Information you share with us as a patient during care is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to you at your first visit and available on request.
1. What we collect on this website
When you browse our website, we automatically collect a small amount of standard technical information through Google Analytics 4:
- Pages viewed, time on page, and general browsing path
- Approximate geographic region (city / state level, never precise location)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Referring website or search term (if any)
- An anonymized, truncated version of your IP address
We use this to understand which parts of our site are useful, fix problems, and improve the experience. We do not collect your name, date of birth, medical information, or any protected health information (PHI) through the website.
2. What we do not allow
Because we are a healthcare practice, we take a stricter approach than most sites. We have explicitly disabled:
- Google Signals — the cross-device and demographic tracking feature
- Ad personalization — your visits are never used to target you with ads
- Full IP address storage — IPs are truncated before Google receives them
We do not sell website visitor data. We do not share it with advertising networks, data brokers, or third parties beyond the analytics provider named in this notice.
3. Cookies
Google Analytics places a small cookie on your browser to distinguish one visitor from another so page counts are accurate. This cookie contains only a random identifier and no personal information. You can block or delete it at any time through your browser settings, or by using a tracking-blocker extension — the site will work identically either way.
4. Forms you submit on this website
If you fill out the “Request Access” form on our Patient Portal page, your name, phone number, and email address are sent to our office inbox (hello@sunshineorthopedics.com) so we can respond. That submission is delivered by your own email client and is not stored on the website itself.
If you use the online appointment scheduling widget embedded on our Patient Portal page, that widget is provided by our EHR vendor, DrChrono, and any information you enter is handled under DrChrono’s privacy and HIPAA commitments, not this website’s.
5. The Patient Portal (OnPatient)
Clicking “Access Patient Portal” sends you to onpatient.com, operated by DrChrono, our electronic health records vendor. Once you leave our site, the portal’s own terms and privacy policy apply.
6. Children
This website is intended for adults arranging orthopedic care and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children through the website.
7. Your choices
- Use a tracker-blocking browser extension — the site will not send any data to Google Analytics.
- Ask us to confirm what we hold about a specific visit — because our analytics data is aggregate and anonymized, we usually cannot associate it with an individual, but we are happy to discuss.
- Contact us with any privacy question at hello@sunshineorthopedics.com or (561) 295-9767.
8. Changes to this notice
If we materially change how the website collects or uses information, we will update this page and revise the effective date at the top.
