Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 24, 2025  ·  Last updated: June 24, 2025

1. Introduction

Salem Radiology Consultants, P.C. ("SRC," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website, contact us through forms on our site, or receive SMS text communications from us.

This policy applies to the SRC public website and our SMS communications programs. It does not govern information collected through clinical systems, electronic health records, or in the course of providing radiology services — that information is governed separately by our Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information you voluntarily provide when you submit an inquiry or contact form on our website. This may include:

    •  Your name
    •  Email address
    •  Phone number
    •  The content of your message or inquiry

We do not collect sensitive medical or health information through our website contact forms. If you submit health-related information voluntarily in a message, we will treat it with appropriate confidentiality, but we encourage you to contact us directly by phone for clinical matters.

3. Automatically collected information

When you visit our website, our web server and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect certain non-identifying technical information, including:

    •  Your IP address
    •  Browser type and version
    •  Pages visited and time spent on each page
    •  Referring website address
    •  Date and time of your visit

This information is used solely for website administration, security monitoring, and improving user experience. It is not used to identify individual visitors.

4. Cookies

Our website may use cookies — small text files placed on your device — to support basic site functionality. We do not use cookies to track your activity across other websites or to serve targeted advertising. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, some portions of the site may not function correctly as a result.

5. How we use your information

Information submitted through our contact forms is used to:

    •  Respond to your inquiry or request
    •  Route your message to the appropriate department or staff member
    •  Follow up as needed in connection with your inquiry

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

    •  Service providers: We may use third-party vendors to operate our website or contact systems. These vendors are contractually required to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.

    •  Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process.

    •  Protection of rights: We may disclose information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of SRC, our patients, or others.

7. Data security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information submitted through our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage you to avoid submitting sensitive personal or clinical information through web-based contact forms and to contact us by phone for time-sensitive or confidential matters.

8. Third-party portal links

Our website provides links to third-party patient and billing portals to help you access your records and manage your account. These currently include:

Epic MyChart

A patient portal operated by Epic Systems Corporation. MyChart allows you to view health records, lab results, and communicate with your care team. Any information you enter in MyChart is subject to Epic's privacy policy and the privacy practices of the health system through which your account is managed.

Imagine Billing Portal

A billing and payment portal operated by Imagine Software. This portal allows you to view and pay invoices related to radiology services. Any information you enter, including payment details, is subject to Imagine's privacy policy and applicable payment processing terms.

Important: Once you click through to either of these portals, you are leaving the SRC website. SRC does not control, operate, or have access to information collected by these platforms. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of each portal before creating an account or entering any personal, health, or financial information.

9. SMS text communications

Salem Radiology Consultants, P.C. may send SMS text messages to patients and individuals who have provided their mobile phone number and consented to receive text communications from us. This section describes our SMS program, your rights, and how to manage your preferences.

No sharing of SMS opt-in data

We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in status to third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Your opt-in information is used solely to deliver the communications described above.

Note: SMS messages sent through Epic MyChart are also subject to Epic's messaging terms and the privacy practices of the health system managing your MyChart account. SMS messages sent through Televox are also subject to Televox's privacy policy and terms of service.
