Privacy Policy

Dr. Michael L Johnson (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website (the “Site”; https://drmichaelljohnson.com) to provide information about our telehealth services, functional medicine protocols, holistic health resources, and related offerings. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit the Site, submit forms (e.g., intake or contact forms), download resources, or interact with our services. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

Please note: Our services involve collecting health-related information through intake forms, consultations, and testing orders. We handle such information with the utmost care. We are a holistic and functional medicine practice and do not “treat” or “cure” conditions—we support the body’s natural healing.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

a. Non-Personal Information

• Automatically collected data when you visit the Site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and usage patterns (via cookies, web beacons, or analytics tools like Google Analytics).
• This helps us improve Site functionality and user experience.

b. Personal and Health-Related Information

• Provided voluntarily, such as name, email, address, date of birth, phone number, health history (chief complaints, medications, allergies, family background), and other details from intake forms, contact submissions, or telehealth interactions.
• Health-related details (e.g., medical conditions, test results from DUTCH or blood work) when you become a patient.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve services: Process intake forms, schedule consultations, send protocols/remedies, review test results, and communicate updates.
• For administrative purposes: Respond to inquiries, manage appointments, process payments, and comply with legal obligations.
• To enhance the Site: Analyze usage for better content and functionality.
• Health-related information is used solely to support your personalized protocols (e.g., identifying root causes like inflammation or imbalances) and is not shared without consent except as required by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Payments and Billing

We accept credit cards, cash, and checks as payment methods for our services. All payments are due upfront (except for weekly calls), with no refunds or itemized invoices provided. For flexible options, we recommend financing through CareCredit or other partners listed on our site. Contact us via the form or email for details.

We do not store credit card information directly—payments are processed securely through trusted third-party providers.

4. How We Share Your Information

• With service providers: Third parties assisting operations (e.g., email platforms, telehealth tools, testing labs, payment processors) under strict confidentiality agreements.
• For legal reasons: If required by law, court order, or to protect rights/safety.
• Health-related data: Shared only for your care (e.g., with labs for testing) or with your explicit authorization.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes secure transmission (e.g., encrypted forms) and limited access. However, no system is completely secure—use caution when submitting data online.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies for essential functions (e.g., session management) and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics to understand Site traffic). You can manage cookies via browser settings, but disabling them may affect Site features. See our COOKIES POLICY for more information.

7. Your Rights and Choices

• Access/correct your information: Request review or updates to your data (subject to legal limits).
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from communications.
• California residents: Additional rights under CCPA/CPRA if applicable (e.g., opt-out of sales—note: we do not sell data).

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors without parental consent.

9. Links to Third-Party Sites

The Site may link to external resources (e.g., Instagram videos, TikTok videos, testing labs, financing providers). Their privacy practices differ—we are not responsible for them.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy—changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.

11. Contact Us

For questions, requests, or concerns: Email DRMLJ83@gmail.com or use the CONTACT FORM on the Site.
