Privacy Policy – Midtown Dermatology

Updated 26 March 2026

This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it, including any information collected or used in connection with SMS communications.

1. Data Collection

We collect personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number when you register for our services or otherwise interact with our practice. We may also collect usage data and device information to improve and optimize our services and your experience. Information collected as part of any SMS consent process is stored and used only for sending and managing SMS messages in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

2. Data Usage

We use your information to deliver and improve our services, tailor your experience, and communicate relevant updates, including appointment reminders, billing information, and support‑related messages. If in the future we offer promotional or marketing SMS, we will obtain separate, explicit consent for those messages and will not use your existing SMS consent for marketing without your additional agreement.

3. Data Protection

We use industry‑standard security measures and up‑to‑date technology to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Our team regularly monitors and updates our systems to maintain a high level of security. Information collected through SMS consent and mobile phone numbers will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

4. User Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team through the contact information provided below. We will respond promptly and update your communications preferences, including your SMS opt‑in status, as required.

5. Opt‑In and Opt‑Out

You may opt in or opt out of marketing communications at any time via your account settings or by contacting our support team. For SMS communications, you can also opt out by replying STOP to any SMS message you receive (see the SMS Terms and Conditions section). We will promptly update your communication preferences in accordance with your choices.

6. SMS and Phone Number Usage

We maintain a strict policy of not sharing your SMS consent or phone number with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. Your contact information is used solely for the purposes described in this policy, including non‑marketing SMS related to appointments, billing, and customer support. If we ever send promotional SMS, such messages will be sent only to individuals who have expressly consented to receive marketing messages, and we will not infer marketing consent from prior transactional SMS consent. Standard message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier’s plan; you are responsible for any such charges.

7. Contact Information

For privacy‑related inquiries or concerns, please contact our privacy team at admin@derm.doctor or call (984) 242‑0510. Our staff will assist you with questions about your data and privacy preferences.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Any material changes will be communicated to you via email or by posting the updated policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.

9. Accessibility

This privacy policy is available at the footer of our website and in the settings section of our application, so you can always review our privacy practices.


SMS Terms and Conditions – Midtown Dermatology

Updated 26 March 2026

A. Introduction

Welcome to Midtown Dermatology. By accessing or using our services, including receiving SMS communications, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not engage with our SMS services.

B. Consent for SMS Communication

By providing your consent to receive SMS communications, you acknowledge and agree to receive text messages from Midtown Dermatology at the phone number you provide. Information collected as part of the SMS consent process will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

C. Types of SMS Communications

If you have consented to receive text messages, you may receive SMS communications related to:

  • Upcoming appointments, including changes and cancellations.
  • Account balances and billing‑related notifications.
  • Replies to SMS messages you initiate in order to resolve your question or concern.

These messages are primarily non‑marketing and related to your care and service with Midtown Dermatology. If we ever send promotional or marketing SMS, such messages will be sent only to individuals who have provided separate, explicit consent for marketing communications.

D. Message Frequency

Message frequency may vary depending on your appointments, billing activity, and support interactions. As a general example, you may receive up to approximately 10 SMS messages per week for appointment and billing‑related messages. If you initiate a conversation via SMS, the number of messages may exceed this amount solely to resolve your question or concern. If we ever send marketing SMS, those messages will be sent separately and will respect your consent and frequency preferences.

  • Verbally, during a conversation with our staff.
  • By submitting an online form.

If you ever opt in to receive marketing SMS in the future, that consent will be collected separately and will be clearly labeled as marketing.
