Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Last Updated: August 27, 2026
Oberidon (“Oberidon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of information entrusted to us.
This Privacy Policy describes how Oberidon collects, uses, maintains, discloses, and otherwise processes information when you visit or interact with our website, communicate with us, request an appointment, or use other services through which this Privacy Policy is displayed or referenced.

Our use and disclosure of PHI is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not solely by this Privacy Policy. If there is any conflict between this Privacy Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices with respect to PHI, the Notice of Privacy Practices will control.

A. Healthcare Providers and Care Coordination
Where permitted by law, information may be disclosed to physicians, psychiatric professionals, therapists, pharmacies, laboratories, healthcare facilities, or other professionals involved in your treatment or care.
Certain types of mental health, psychotherapy, substance-use, or other sensitive records may be subject to additional federal or state protections.

A court order;
-
Subpoena or other lawful process;
-
Government or regulatory inquiry;

Licensing or professional-board requirement;
-
Public-health requirement; or

Other legally authorized request.
Additional restrictions may apply to certain mental health, psychotherapy, or substance-use records.

Information may be disclosed when permitted or required by law to address a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of an individual or the public, to report suspected abuse or neglect, or for other legally authorized safety purposes.
F. Corporate Transactions
Subject to applicable healthcare and privacy laws, information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction involving Oberidon.
Any PHI involved in such a transaction will remain subject to applicable healthcare privacy requirements.
7. Sale and Marketing of Health Information
Oberidon does not sell PHI in violation of HIPAA or other applicable law.
We will not use or disclose PHI for a purpose requiring a valid HIPAA authorization unless the appropriate authorization has been obtained or another legal basis permits the use or disclosure.
Where applicable state privacy law defines “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or similar activities more broadly, Oberidon will provide any notices, choices, or rights required by applicable law.
8. Email, Text Messages, and Electronic Communications
Oberidon may communicate with you through email, telephone, text message, a patient portal, or other electronic methods where appropriate.
Electronic communications may carry inherent privacy and security risks. Ordinary email and text messaging may not always be encrypted.
By providing contact information and requesting that we communicate with you through a particular method, you acknowledge that certain communications may be made through that method, subject to applicable law and your communication preferences.
You should not use ordinary email, website forms, text messages, or social media to communicate urgent or emergency medical or psychiatric concerns.
9. Payment Information
If you make a payment through an online payment service, payment-card information may be processed directly by a third-party payment processor.
Oberidon may receive limited transaction information, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, billing information, or payment confirmation.
Third-party payment providers may process your information pursuant to their own privacy and security practices.
10. Data Security
Oberidon maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, use, alteration, loss, destruction, or disclosure.
Such safeguards may include, as appropriate:
-
Access controls;
-
Authentication procedures;
-
Secure technology systems;
-
Workforce confidentiality requirements;
-
Security policies and procedures;
-
Vendor-management practices;
-
Technical safeguards; and
-
Administrative controls.
Where electronic PHI is involved, Oberidon applies safeguards as required by applicable healthcare privacy and security laws.
Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage, or information-security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.
11. Data Retention
We retain information for the period reasonably necessary to:
-
Provide services;
-
Maintain appropriate clinical and business records;
-
Satisfy legal, regulatory, professional, insurance, and contractual obligations;
-
Resolve disputes;
-
Enforce agreements;
-
Protect legal rights; and
-
Fulfill legitimate operational requirements.
Medical and mental health records may be subject to specific retention periods under federal or state law and professional licensing requirements.
When information is no longer required to be retained, we may delete, destroy, de-identify, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law and our record-retention practices.
12. Your Rights and Choices

We will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.
13. State-Specific Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and whether a particular law applies to Oberidon or the information at issue, you may have additional rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, consent, or the use of sensitive information.

14. Children and Minors
The availability of Oberidon’s clinical services to minors, if any, is subject to applicable law, professional requirements, parental or guardian consent requirements, and the circumstances of the treatment.
Our general website is not designed to solicit personal information directly from children in violation of applicable law.
Where Oberidon provides services to a minor, information concerning that minor will be handled in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing consent, confidentiality, parental or guardian access, and healthcare records.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to websites, applications, social-media platforms, payment services, patient portals, or other resources operated by third parties.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Oberidon is not responsible for the content, security, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms applicable to any third-party service before providing personal information.
16. Telehealth Services
Where Oberidon provides telehealth services, information transmitted in connection with those services will be handled in accordance with applicable healthcare privacy and security requirements.
Patients should participate in telehealth appointments from a private location whenever reasonably possible and should take reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of their communications.
Additional telehealth consents, disclosures, or notices may apply depending on the state in which a patient is physically located at the time services are provided.
17. Mental Health Emergencies
Oberidon’s website, general email addresses, contact forms, and routine messaging services are not monitored or intended for emergency or crisis communications.
If you believe you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, are in immediate danger, or may harm yourself or another person, call 911, go to the nearest emergency department, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
Do not rely on a website submission, voicemail, email, or routine appointment request for emergency assistance.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements.
When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date displayed at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
Material changes may be communicated through additional means where required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the website following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy will be subject to the policy then in effect, except where applicable law requires a different form of notice or consent.
