Website Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 17, 2026 · Last Updated: August 17, 2026
Hawaii Virtual Care, LLC (“HVC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website hawaiivirtualcare.com (the “Site”) and provides virtual intensive outpatient behavioral health services to residents of the State of Hawaii. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information gathered through the Site. It applies to Site visitors and to individuals who submit information through our web forms. It does not replace, and should be read together with, our Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information (“PHI”) we maintain as a healthcare provider.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide voluntarily. When you complete a contact, insurance-verification, or admissions-inquiry form, we collect the information you choose to submit, which may include your name, phone number, email address, island or location of residence, insurance information, and information about the services you are seeking. Because we are a behavioral health provider, information you submit about your treatment needs may be sensitive; we treat all inquiry information with the same care we apply to clinical records.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect certain information automatically when you visit, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and referring pages. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies as described in Section 4.
2. How We Use Information
- To respond to your inquiries and connect you with our admissions team.
- To verify insurance benefits at your request.
- To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
- To comply with legal obligations applicable to healthcare providers.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share inquiry or health information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not use information submitted through admissions forms for advertising audience-building.
3. Health Information: HIPAA and 42 C.F.R. Part 2
If you become a client of Hawaii Virtual Care, your treatment records are protected health information governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and, for substance use disorder treatment records, the federal confidentiality regulations at 42 C.F.R. Part 2. Those records are maintained in a secure, HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system — not on this website — and are never disclosed without your written consent except as permitted by law. Our full Notice of Privacy Practices is available at [LINK TO NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES] or upon request at admissions@hawaiivirtualcare.com.
4. Cookies and Analytics
The Site uses cookies necessary for its operation and may use analytics cookies to understand aggregate Site usage. [LIST ANALYTICS TOOLS ACTUALLY DEPLOYED, e.g., “We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization.”] We do not deploy advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or social media trackers on pages where visitors submit health-related information. You can control cookies through your browser settings. The Site uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms; use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
5. How We Share Information
We share information only with: (a) service providers who support Site operations and our communications systems under contractual confidentiality obligations (and, where PHI is involved, business associate agreements); (b) as required by law, subpoena, or court order, subject to the limits of HIPAA and 42 C.F.R. Part 2; and (c) in a corporate transaction such as a merger, in which case successor obligations to this policy will apply. We never disclose the identity of any person as a treatment inquirer or client except as the law permits.
6. Data Security and Retention
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including encryption in transit, access controls, and role-based permissions. We retain inquiry information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and clinical records for the periods required by Hawaii law and federal regulation.
7. Your Choices and Rights
You may contact us at any time to access, correct, or request deletion of information you submitted through the Site, subject to legal record-retention requirements. Clients have additional rights over their health records under HIPAA, described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. To exercise any right, contact our Privacy Officer at chandler@hawaiivirtualcare.com or 808-313-2470.
8. Children
Our services are provided to adults age eighteen and older. The Site is not directed to children under thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. If You Are in Crisis
This website is not monitored continuously and is not a crisis service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline / Hawaii CARES) or call 911.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted conspicuously on the Site.
