Privacy
Policy
At Edition, the information you share with us is treated with the same discretion we bring to every other part of your care. This policy explains plainly what we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.
Who We Are
Edition Plastic Surgery is a private plastic surgery practice located at 7859 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 330, Dallas, Texas 75230, operated by Dr. Robert Schwartz. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website at editionplasticsurgery.com and through the digital tools we use to communicate with prospective and current patients.
This policy covers our digital presence only. The collection and handling of protected health information within our clinical practice is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to patients at the time of care.
What We Collect
When you interact with our website — through a contact form, consultation request, or scheduling tool — we may collect the following:
- Your name, email address, and phone number, as you provide them
- The nature of your inquiry or the procedure you are considering
- Your preferred method and time of contact
- Technical information such as browser type, device, and pages visited — collected automatically through analytics tools
- Call data including call duration, time, and source, collected through our phone tracking system
We do not collect payment information through this website. Any financial information related to your care is handled through secure, dedicated systems at the time of service.
How We Use Your Information
The information you provide is used for one purpose: to respond to your inquiry and support your care at Edition. Specifically, we use it to:
- Respond to consultation requests and follow up on inquiries
- Schedule appointments and coordinate your pre-operative experience
- Send appointment reminders and relevant practice communications
- Understand how patients find us, so we can improve the quality of information we provide
- Comply with legal obligations where required
We do not sell your information. We do not use it for purposes unrelated to your care or our ability to communicate with you about it.
Third-Party Tools We Use
Like most medical practice websites, ours relies on a small number of third-party services. Each is described below.
Plausible Analytics — We use Plausible to count visits and see which pages are read and how visitors arrived. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal information, and does not follow you to other websites. We see its figures only in aggregate. See Plausible's data policy.
JotForm — Our consultation request form is provided by JotForm, Inc. What you enter (your name, contact details and message) is sent securely to JotForm and then to our practice's patient records system, where our staff use it to reply to you. See JotForm's Privacy Policy.
Acuity Scheduling — If you book an appointment on our Schedule page, the booking is handled by Acuity Scheduling, a Squarespace company. The details you provide are subject to Squarespace's Privacy Policy in addition to this one.
CallTrackingMetrics — We use CallTrackingMetrics to understand how patients reach us by phone — whether through a web search, a referral, or a specific page on our site. This service may record call metadata (time, duration, source) and, where you have been informed and consented, call recordings. Call data is used only to improve our communications and understand our marketing effectiveness.
Cookies
Our analytics service, Plausible, does not use cookies. Cookies may be set by the consultation form (JotForm), the scheduling tool (Acuity) and CallTrackingMetrics so that those services work; each is described above.
Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Doing so may affect some functionality of our site. You can learn more about managing cookies at allaboutcookies.org.
Before & After Photography
Photographs used in our gallery and throughout this website are shared only with the explicit written consent of the patient. Before any image is published — whether on this site, on social media, or in any other context — a separate photography and media release is reviewed and signed by the patient.
Consent to share images is entirely voluntary and has no bearing on the care you receive. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting our office. Upon withdrawal, images are removed from our digital presence as promptly as reasonably possible.
All before and after images on this site depict real Edition patients. No stock photography, composite imagery, or digitally altered results are presented as patient outcomes.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Information submitted through website forms is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected — typically, the duration of your relationship with our practice. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of each platform used.
If you become a patient, your clinical records are retained in accordance with Texas state law, which requires a minimum retention period of ten years for adult patient records.
Your Rights
You have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, and to request deletion where legally permitted. To make any such request, please contact us directly using the information below.
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us as described below.
Minors
This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted information through this site, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our practices or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page reflects when the current version was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Questions & Contact
If you have questions about this policy, how your information is used, or would like to make a request regarding your personal information, please contact us directly.
