This Privacy Policy explains how MeridianMedicalCentre.com, operated by MMC Research & Review, collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit this website. Please read this policy carefully. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Not affiliated with Meridian Health Group or any medical clinic. MeridianMedicalCentre.com is an independent editorial publication. See our Non-Affiliation Notice for full details.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, inquiry type, and message you provide. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to marketing lists without your explicit consent.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting provider, analytics services, and third-party advertising partners. This includes your IP address (typically stored in anonymized or truncated form), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed on this site, time and date of your visit, and approximate geographic location derived from IP address.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support site functionality, analytics, and advertising. Cookies are set by this site and by third-party services we use, including Google. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

The following types of cookies operate on this site:

• Essential cookies: Required for core site functionality, including WordPress session management and contact form operation via WPForms.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with this site. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to collect information about site usage in aggregate. This data is used to improve content and site structure. Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's privacy policy.
• Advertising cookies: This site participates in Google AdSense, Google's advertising program. Google uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites.

2. Google AdSense and Advertising

This website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. MeridianMedicalCentre.com is the only property in our network that operates Google AdSense.

Google AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests. Specifically:

• Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to enable it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• Google may use data about your activity across websites to personalize the ads you see.
• Google AdSense may collect information about your browsing behavior for ad targeting purposes.

Opting out of personalized advertising: You can opt out of Google's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use sites that use Google's services, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

We do not control the data collected by Google's advertising systems. Google's data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

3. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Data

Some pages on this website contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you are directed to a third-party website. That website's own privacy policy governs the data collected from your visit. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third-party sites we link to.

We may share aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data with affiliate networks for reporting purposes. We do not sell or share personally identifiable information collected through this site with affiliate partners.

When you make a purchase through an affiliate link on this site, the merchant may share transaction confirmation data with us for commission tracking purposes. This data typically includes a transaction ID and commission amount — not your personal details or payment information.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use information collected on this site to respond to contact form inquiries you submit, improve site content and structure based on aggregate analytics data, serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense, comply with legal obligations, and detect and prevent fraud or abuse.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for purposes beyond those described in this policy without your consent.

5. Information Sharing

We share information in limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use third-party services including our web hosting provider, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and WPForms. These providers may receive data in the course of providing their services and are governed by their own privacy policies.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of this publication, its readers, or others.
• Business transfers: If this publication is acquired, merged, or sold, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change via a prominent notice on this site.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for the period reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics' default retention settings. We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

7. Your Rights — GDPR (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable local law:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain conditions.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that we limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

For advertising-related data processed by Google, exercise your rights through Google's data and privacy controls. For data we directly hold, contact us through our contact page.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country. We rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis for analytics processing and on consent for advertising cookie deployment where required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights — CCPA (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with the following rights:

• Right to know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to delete: You may request deletion of personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing: California law treats certain data sharing with advertising networks as a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. Google AdSense involves sharing data with Google for personalized advertising, which may qualify as “sharing” under CCPA. You can opt out by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads or by using the opt-out tool at aboutads.info.
• Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise rights related to data we directly hold, submit a request through our contact page. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

The health and wellness content on this site is intended for adult readers making informed decisions about their own healthcare. It is not appropriate for children.
