Information we collect
We collect only the information necessary to respond to you, such as your name, phone number, or email address when you contact us through this website. We also collect limited technical information automatically — such as browser type and pages visited — through standard website analytics. We do not sell, rent, or share this information with third parties, and we do not collect medical or health information through this website.
No mobile or messaging consent information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
How we use your information
Information submitted through this site is used solely to respond to you as the intended party — to answer your inquiry, schedule or confirm an appointment at your request, and maintain and improve this website. We do not use information collected here for marketing calls, texts, or email campaigns, and we do not share it with outside organizations for marketing or promotional purposes.
Disclosure of your information
Central Medical Associates does not sell or share the information you submit through this website with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose it only in limited circumstances: with your consent; to the service providers who help us operate this website (such as hosting or email delivery), who are only permitted to use it to provide that service to us; in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to establish or defend a legal claim; when necessary to investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or a threat to someone's safety; or if Central Medical Associates' assets are transferred as part of a merger or acquisition.
Cookies & website analytics
This site may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and to understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may limit some site features.
Third-party links & services
This website links to independent third-party services, including the HEALOW patient portal, Google Maps location embeds, and professional affiliations and referral partners. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and Central Medical Associates is not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Data retention
We retain information submitted through this website only as long as necessary to respond to your request and maintain appropriate business records, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through this website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for use by adults seeking information about our practice and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site.
Protected health information (HIPAA)
This website and its Privacy Policy are separate from your medical records and Protected Health Information (PHI), which are governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, not by this page. The patient portal, appointment requests, and any health information you share with your care team are handled under that separate notice. A copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices is available at any Central Medical Associates office or upon request.
Your rights & choices
You have the right to ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you've submitted through this website, and you may choose not to submit it at all — you can always reach us by phone or in person instead. To exercise any of these rights or raise a question, call 270-982-2015 or write to Central Medical Associates, 1311 Ring Road, Elizabethtown, KY 42701.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date above.
