Analytics and advertising technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors find and use the site, and to measure whether our advertising is working.
Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to see aggregate information such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and how long they stay. Google Analytics collects your IP address, device and browser information, and the pages you view on this site.
Meta (Facebook) advertising pixel. This site loads a Meta advertising pixel, which tells Meta that a browser loaded a page so that we can measure our advertising. The pixel records a page view only. We have turned off Meta’s “Advanced Matching” feature, so we do not send Meta your name, email address, or phone number through it.
Application and intake pages. The Meta pixel records a page view on all pages of this site, including the page where an application begins. It does not receive the information you enter into the application form: that form is hosted by a separate provider on its own domain, and the pixel running on our pages has no access to what you type into it.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share information you submit through our application form with advertising or analytics networks.
Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can use Google’s opt-out browser add-on for Google Analytics. Blocking these technologies will not affect your ability to use this site or to apply as a patient.
Health information. Information you provide once you become a patient of Summit Metabolic Health PLLC is handled under our clinical privacy practices and is never shared with advertising or analytics platforms.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Apple Health data
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Summit Exercise reads your workouts, heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep, and Summit Companion reads your weight. We use this data only to fill in your own logs and show recovery suggestions inside the app. We do not write to Apple Health, do not use Health data for advertising or marketing, and do not sell or share it with third parties. You can turn access off at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
