• Any feedback or messages you send us through contact forms

b) Information collected automatically:

• Your approximate location (city/region level), collected only with your permission, to show nearby clinics
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages visited, search queries entered, and filters applied
• IP address and referral source

c) Information from third parties:

We request access to your device location solely to show walk-in clinics near you. Location access is requested in-browser and requires your explicit permission. We do not store your precise GPS coordinates. We may store city or region-level location data to improve search results. You can deny location permission at any time through your browser settings.

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Session management (keeping your search preferences during a visit)
• Analytics (Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used)
• Performance optimization (caching search results)

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain site functionality. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use third-party services (Google Maps Platform, hosting providers, analytics tools) that may process data on our behalf under data processing agreements
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public
• Business transfers: If walkincarenearme.com is acquired or merged, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction

Our directory contains information about healthcare clinics sourced from Google Places API, public clinic websites, and publicly available chain-level information. This data is provided for informational purposes only. We do not guarantee its accuracy. Insurance, hours, and services data should always be verified directly with the clinic before visiting.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Specifically:

• Clinic claim submissions are retained for as long as the listing is active
• Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics default retention settings (26 months)
• Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data
• Opt-out: Opt out of analytics tracking by enabling Do Not Track in your browser or using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on

To exercise any of these rights, contact us here.

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our directory contains links to clinic websites and third-party booking services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
