Website Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 09/29/2026

Scope. This Website Privacy Policy explains how Bravo Mind Psychiatry PLLC ("Bravo Mind," "we,"
"us," or "our") handles information collected through our public website and related online

protected health information (PHI) may be used and disclosed in connection with patient care.

Important distinction. Information you submit through patient intake forms, secure clinical
systems, the patient portal, or as part of treatment may be subject to HIPAA and other health privacy
laws. Please review our separate Notice of Privacy Practices for information about those rights and
protections.
