Privacy Policy

Information you provide

• Contact form and correction form details, including the company or provider being discussed, correction notes, source URLs, and contact information if supplied.
• Quote-request details, including practice or organization name, contact name, email, phone, specialty, primary state, provider count, software system, services needed, notes, and selected vendors.
• Vendor-sharing consent choices when a quote-request form asks whether the request may be shared with vendors.
• Any other information submitted voluntarily through forms on the site.

Information stored in your browser

The saved-list and comparison features may use browser storage so selected companies remain available while you move through the site. This information is stored on your device, not in a user account. Clearing browser storage may remove saved companies and comparison selections.

Information collected automatically

• Basic technical information, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, and approximate usage patterns, if analytics are enabled.
• Advertising and cookie-related signals if advertising tools such as Google AdSense are enabled.
• Server, hosting, security, and error logs created by infrastructure providers that operate the site.

How information is used

• Respond to requests and review suggested provider corrections.
• Store and review quote requests.
• Understand buyer demand by service category, specialty, software, geography, and selected providers.
• Improve provider profiles, filters, comparison pages, guide content, and directory coverage.
• Detect abuse, spam, technical issues, and security problems.
• Develop future vendor outreach, lead-generation, or sponsored-listing products if the site gains enough useful traffic.

Quote requests and vendor sharing

Quote requests may be stored for internal review, demand analysis, and buyer follow-up. Quote request details are not automatically sent to vendors from the public form. If vendor-sharing is introduced or manually performed later, the site should rely on the submitter's consent or request separate permission first.

Analytics

The site may use analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic, page performance, and user workflows. Analytics data is used to improve the directory and decide which pages, filters, and provider data should be improved. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.

Advertising and cookies

The site may use Google AdSense or similar advertising tools. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Visitors can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and other browser or device controls.

When information may be shared

• With infrastructure providers used to operate the site, such as hosting, database, analytics, security, or advertising providers.
• With vendors if a quote requester gives consent or separate permission.
• With service providers helping review corrections, maintain data, or operate the site.
• When required to comply with law, legal process, security obligations, or to protect the site from abuse.
• As aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify an individual requester.

Retention

Form submissions and quote requests may be kept as long as needed for directory operations, follow-up, demand analysis, security, and business records. Records may be deleted earlier if they are no longer needed, are test submissions, are spam, or deletion is requested and reasonable to perform.

Your choices

• You can choose not to submit forms.
• You can clear browser storage to remove local saved-list and comparison data from your device.
• You can use browser controls to limit cookies or third-party tracking.
• You can request correction or deletion of information submitted through site forms by using the contact page.
• You can manage personalized Google advertising through Google's ad settings and related opt-out tools.

Security

Reasonable technical and operational safeguards are used to protect submitted information. No website, database, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

The site is intended for business and professional research. It is not directed to children and is not intended to collect information from children.

External links

Provider profiles and source references may link to third-party websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices and are not controlled by Medical Billing Vendor Guide.

Policy changes

This policy may be updated as the site adds analytics, advertising, quote-request handling, vendor outreach, or other operational features. The updated date will be changed when material updates are made.
