What we collect

The patient's name, phone number, optional email address, the reason for the visit, where and how long the meeting lasted, a photograph of the patient and the staff member together, both signatures, and the geographic location at which this record was signed.

Why we collect the location

The location is recorded once, at the moment of signing, as part of the signed record. It establishes where the meeting took place. It is not used to track anyone, and it is not collected at any other time.

How it is kept

The signed record is stored in the private files of Ability and Empowerment Services and is treated as protected health information under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. It is never sold, and never shared with third parties without explicit consent.

Your rights

You may ask to see, correct or delete your record at any time by contacting the practice at (443) 438-5538.
