Website Privacy & Cookie Notice

Effective date: September 16, 2026

This notice applies to windycitydisccenter.com, the website for Windy City Disc Center at 4526 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60525 (the “Practice”), an independently operated Disc Centers of America location. It explains the public website’s information handling and privacy choices. It does not replace the Practice’s separate HIPAA & Patient Privacy Policy.

Information you provide

When you request an appointment, guide or response, forms may ask for your name, email, telephone number, mailing address and message. Providing information is voluntary, but the Practice needs enough information to respond. Your request may be delivered to the Practice by email and stored in the website’s form records. Authorized website service providers may process the request to operate and maintain these functions.

Use general contact forms for routine inquiries. Do not include Social Security numbers, payment-card details or detailed medical histories in a general contact form. If you choose to complete a designated evaluation, its questions may request health information for the Practice to review. The separate patient privacy notice may apply to that information. Website forms are not emergency services; call 911 for an emergency.

How information is used

The Practice uses submitted information to respond to the request you made and for related office follow-up. Hosting, security and form services process technical information to deliver pages, prevent spam and abuse, troubleshoot errors and maintain the website. Technical information can include IP address, browser and device details, request time and the page requested. Requesting a response is separate from agreeing to optional website tracking or unrelated marketing.

Optional analytics and external content

Google Tag Manager manages the site’s configured Google Analytics tags. Optional analytics can measure page visits and interactions using technical information and cookie identifiers. These tags load as you browse unless you have turned off optional tracking or your browser sends a supported Global Privacy Control signal. Google advertising storage, advertising user-data and advertising-personalization settings remain denied. Analytics is suppressed on designated evaluation, intake and confirmation pages regardless of your tracking preference.

Videos and maps may be supplied by Vimeo, YouTube and Google Maps. Their embedded players or maps load as you browse unless optional tracking is off. On designated evaluation, intake and confirmation pages, external content stays unloaded unless you select “Load this content” for that item. Loading external content allows its provider to receive your IP address and device information. When optional tracking is off, you can still load an individual item without enabling website analytics. External providers handle information under their own privacy policies. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites using its services.

Your cookie choices

The tracking notice explains that optional analytics and external content may load as you browse. Selecting I understand dismisses the notice; it does not record consent or change an existing privacy preference. Use Privacy choices to select Turn off optional tracking or Allow optional tracking. You can browse the site and use its contact forms and telephone details with optional tracking off. Turning it off reloads the page when needed, stops optional tracking on subsequent page loads and removes supported first-party analytics cookies; it cannot undo information already received by a provider.

Your tracking preference and notice dismissal are stored separately in your browser’s local storage for up to 180 days. Previously saved rejections remain effective during that period. Clearing browser storage resets these settings, after which optional tracking runs unless a supported Global Privacy Control signal is present. That signal keeps optional tracking off. Older “Do Not Track” signals are not used as a separate instruction; use Privacy choices to turn optional tracking off. Essential operation and anti-spam services remain available regardless of this setting.

Website service providers and disclosures

The website uses WordPress and SiteGround for operation and hosting and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA can receive technical information when it runs, regardless of whether optional tracking is enabled. Information needed to respond to your request is available to the Practice and authorized providers supporting website operation and communications. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to address abuse or protect rights and safety.

Acknowledging the tracking notice or allowing optional tracking is not an authorization to disclose protected health information or a substitute for any healthcare authorization required by law.

Retention, security and requests

The length of time office communications and form records are kept depends on their purpose and applicable obligations. Contact the Practice for information about its retention practices or to request access, correction or deletion where applicable. Some records may need to be retained. No website or email transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

This public website is intended for adults seeking information or contacting the Practice. A parent or guardian should contact the Practice directly about services for a child.
