5. Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are technically necessary for the operation of the site. Other cookies are used for analytics, advertising, consent management, comment convenience features, and, depending on configuration, social-sharing functions.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only after your consent. You can manage your preferences through our cookie banner and privacy settings tool. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect website functionality. Google requires publishers using AdSense to disclose that third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies or use web beacons or IP addresses as a result of ad serving, and consent is required for relevant cookies where law requires it.
6. Consent management
We use Complianz to manage cookie consent and privacy preferences on the website. Complianz helps display our consent banner, store consent preferences, and manage privacy settings based on the configuration of the website.
7. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to analyze the use of our website.
Google Analytics may process information such as:
- pages visited
- approximate location derived from technical signals
- device and browser information
- interaction data
- referrer information
- technical identifiers
According to Google’s current documentation, Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses from EU users, and GA4 data retention for user-level and event-level data is configurable, with standard website properties supporting up to 14 months. We use Google Analytics only where the required legal basis exists, including consent where applicable. We also seek to avoid sending directly identifying information to Google Analytics.
8. Google AdSense and personalized advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the website. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP-related signals, and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s visits to this website and other websites. This may include personalized advertising where you have granted the required consent.
Google states that advertising cookies can be used to personalize ads, while even non-personalized ads may still rely on cookies or similar identifiers for purposes such as fraud prevention, frequency capping, and aggregated ad reporting. Users can manage ad personalization through Google’s ad settings.
9. Contact form and communication
If you use our contact form, we collect the data you enter, currently:
- name
- email address
- message
We use WPForms to provide the contact form. Form notifications are transmitted to our email system, including Microsoft Outlook / Microsoft 365, so that we can read and respond to your message. WPForms supports transmitting submitted form information by email to the site operator’s chosen inbox.
Please do not use the contact form to send confidential medical, health, insurance, or other sensitive information.
10. Comments
If you leave comments on the website, we process the information shown in the comment form and related technical data needed to manage comments, reduce spam, and secure the website. WordPress’s own privacy guidance states that comment features can involve the data entered in the comment form, as well as IP address and browser user agent, and WordPress also uses cookies for commenters and logged-in users.
Please note that when you post a comment, your chosen name and your comment content may be publicly visible on the website.
11. Social sharing features
Our blog posts may include social share buttons. When you use a share feature, data may be transmitted to the relevant social media platform. Depending on the plugin or technical configuration, certain data exchanges may also occur when such features are loaded or displayed.
The processing of your data by the respective social media provider is governed by that provider’s own privacy policy.
12. Hosting, delivery, security, and infrastructure providers
This website is built with WordPress, hosted by Hostinger, and uses Cloudflare for domain and related network services. Depending on configuration, these providers may process server logs, IP addresses, request metadata, DNS data, cached content, and security-related technical information for delivery, performance, and security purposes. Cloudflare states that it uses cookies for traffic management and security and processes certain metadata on behalf of customers, including in the United States and Europe.
13. Recipients of personal data
We may disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients where necessary:
- hosting and infrastructure providers
- domain, CDN, and security providers
- analytics providers
- advertising partners and ad technology providers
- form and website plugin providers
- email and communication providers
- legal, tax, or professional advisers where necessary
- public authorities or courts where disclosure is legally required
Based on the setup currently described to us, this may include in particular:
- Hostinger
- Cloudflare
- Microsoft
- WordPress / plugin-related service providers, where applicable
14. International data transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we take steps intended to ensure an adequate level of protection, for example by relying on an adequacy decision of the European Commission, contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
The European Commission confirms that transfers may rely on adequacy decisions, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework remains one such adequacy mechanism for participating U.S. organizations.
15. How long we keep data
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, unless a longer retention period is required by law or needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
As a general rule:
- contact form submissions and related emails: for as long as needed to handle the request and any reasonable follow-up, and longer where legally necessary
- comments: for as long as the comment remains on the website or until deletion is requested or justified
- technical logs and security data: for as long as needed for security, debugging, and system integrity
- analytics data: according to the retention setting configured in Google Analytics
- consent records: for as long as needed to document and manage consent choices and compliance obligations
Google Analytics retention is configurable in the product, and standard GA4 properties support retention controls for user-level and event-level data.
16. Your rights
If the GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data, you may have the following rights, subject to the applicable legal conditions:
- right of access
- right to rectification
- right to erasure
- right to restriction of processing
- right to data portability
- right to object to processing

These rights are reflected in the GDPR, including the information rights and right of access, and are enforced in Austria by the Austrian Data Protection Authority.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
For Austria, the competent authority is:

1030 Vienna
Austria

18. Third-party privacy policies
This Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data on Doctor-usa.com. It does not fully govern the processing activities of third-party providers, such as Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, social media platforms, or other external services. When you interact with such services, their own privacy policies may also apply.
19. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or unlawful disclosure. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
20. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technical settings, website features, or service providers. The latest version will always be published on this page with the updated effective date.

Two important notes before publishing:
- Replace or refine any section if your live site uses extra tools such as reCAPTCHA, YouTube embeds, Google Fonts loaded from Google, caching plugins, anti-spam tools, or extra social plugins.
- Put this together with a proper cookie policy / cookie settings page, because AdSense + Analytics + Complianz usually means the privacy policy and cookie disclosures should work together, not separately.
