Welcome to drdanebuxbaum.com. Dr. Dane Buxbaum N.D. PLLC respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us through drdanebuxbaum.com.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through the Website, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we may disclose it.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Website and does not apply to information collected offline or through third-party platforms.
Jurisdiction and Intended Audience
Our Website is intended for use by residents of Arizona. While visitors from other locations may access the Website, the Practice is licensed only in Arizona, and our services, offerings, and communications are designed for Arizona residents. Accessing the Website from outside Arizona does not create any provider relationship, and we do not target, advertise to, or intentionally collect personal information from residents outside of Arizona.

A) Website Visitor Information
Like most website operators, we collect non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, device type and operating system, language preference, referring site/source, pages viewed and interactions, and the date and time of each visitor request.
We may also collect potentially personally identifying information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
B) Information You Provide
You may voluntarily provide information when you:
- submit a contact request,
- subscribe to our newsletter, or
- communicate with us by email or phone.

- message content you submit
Please do not submit sensitive medical information through general Website forms.
2. Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors choose to interact with the Website in ways that require us to collect personally identifying information. The amount and type of information depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if you sign up for our newsletter or updates, we may collect information such as your name and email address.
You may also choose to provide information to us by contacting us through the Website, email, or other communication methods. Please note that communications through this Website are not intended to be used for submitting sensitive medical information.
2A. Patient Vignettes / Case Studies Disclaimer
This Website may include case studies, educational examples, testimonials, or patient-style vignettes. Any case study or vignette presented on this Website is a composite vignette created for educational and illustrative purposes. While based on typical clinical scenarios, it does not represent any specific individual.
All patient names, identifying details, and demographics have been changed, fictionalized, and/or combined from multiple sources to ensure complete anonymity and maintain privacy. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not medical advice.
3. HIPAA and Medical Information
This Website is not intended to collect or store protected health information (“PHI”) and is not a substitute for your clinical relationship and documentation. Any patient privacy practices related to medical care are handled separately through appropriate clinical processes and platforms (including third-party platforms such as Practice Better, if used).
Please do not submit sensitive medical information through general website forms or email.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this Website.
If you become a patient, your medical information may be collected and handled through a separate platform (such as Practice Better) and governed by separate privacy practices, consents, and HIPAA-related documentation that you sign as part of your medical care.
