Effective Date: December 01, 2025
Last Update: February 03, 2026
Care Provisions – (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. We handle data responsibly in line with applicable U.S. federal standards (including the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule for non-HIPAA entities) and general privacy principles. By using our website (care-provisions.com), forms, emails, calls, SMS-text messaging or related services (collectively, “Our Services”), you consent to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not provide information or use our Services.
1. Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide Directly
We collect what you voluntarily share when:
- Filling out contact, intake, or assessment forms
- Emailing, calling, or messaging us about care needs
- Discussing preferences, health concerns, or senior living options
This may include:
- Full name, email address, phone number
- Mailing address or preferred contact method
- Health-related details you choose to share (e.g., mobility needs, conditions, care preferences) to help us match suitable providers
Although we are not a HIPAA Covered Entity (we are a referral service, not a healthcare provider, plan, or clearinghouse conducting electronic transactions), we treat any voluntarily shared health information with the highest confidentiality and care.
B. Automatically Collected Website Data
As you browse, we may collect:
- IP address, browser type/version, device info
- Pages visited, time spent, referring links
- Usage patterns via cookies, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)
This helps us improve site performance, analyze trends, enhance user experience, and ensure security.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide care referral/support information
- Coordinate potential matches with trusted senior living communities/providers (only with your explicit consent)
- Improve our website, Services, and overall offerings
- Communicate updates, resources, or follow-ups (with opt-out options)
- Maintain internal records and comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for third-party marketing. We do not engage in targeted/interest-based advertising or profiling.
3. Sensitive Information & Privacy Standards
We are not subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. We do not create, maintain, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA unless a specific partner agreement designates us as a Business Associate (in which case we apply required safeguards).
For voluntary health-related details you provide:
- We use them only to assist with your care search (data minimization).
- We limit access internally and require confidentiality from any partners.
- We apply strong safeguards consistent with FTC expectations for sensitive data.
4. Sharing and Disclosure
We share information only in limited cases:
- With your explicit consent — e.g., forwarding details to a senior living community or provider for matching
- With service providers/vendors (e.g., website hosting, analytics) bound by confidentiality and limited-use contracts
- To comply with legal requirements, subpoenas, court orders, or government requests
- To protect our rights, safety, property, or others (e.g., fraud prevention)
We do not share with unaffiliated parties for their independent marketing. Public posts (e.g., reviews) are not covered—avoid including sensitive details.
5. Data Breach Notification
If a breach occurs involving unsecured identifiable health information (per FTC Health Breach Notification Rule):
- We will notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery.
- For breaches affecting 500+ people, we notify the FTC simultaneously with individual notices.
- For smaller breaches, we report to the FTC annually (within 60 days of year-end).
- Notices will be clear, including what happened, data involved, steps taken, and contact info.
We maintain reasonable safeguards to prevent such incidents.
6. SMS Communication
Consent for SMS Communication
Information collected as part of the SMS consent process (including your phone number) will not be shared with any third parties for any purpose, including marketing or lead generation.
Types of SMS Communications
If you have provided your consent to receive text messages from Care Provisions, you may receive SMS or MMS messages related to your inquiry. These may include follow-up information, appointment or service details, scheduling updates, reminders, or other transactional/support-related communications.
Standard Messaging Disclosures
- Message and data rates may apply — Standard carrier charges for SMS/MMS may be applied based on your mobile plan.
- Messaging frequency may vary — The number of messages you receive will depend on your interactions and needs, but we will not send excessive or unsolicited messages.
- Opt-out — You can opt out of receiving future text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message we send. After opting out, you will receive a confirmation message, and we will stop sending SMS/MMS communications (except for any final administrative messages if required).
- Help — For assistance or more information, reply HELP to any message.
- No third-party use — We will not use information obtained from third parties to contact you via SMS or MMS, nor will we share your information with third parties or use third parties to contact you via SMS or MMS for lead generation, marketing, or promotional purposes.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies/pixels for functionality, analytics, and performance. We may use Google Analytics (opt-out via their tools).
You can manage preferences:
- Adjust browser settings to refuse cookies (some features may not work).
- Use Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals—we honor them for opt-outs where applicable (e.g., in states like CA).
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (e.g., encryption for transmissions, access controls) to protect your information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No system is 100% secure—we cannot guarantee absolute protection. We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes collected or required by law.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for or directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from them. If we learn of such collection, we delete it promptly.

You may:
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information
- Withdraw consent for sharing or certain uses
- Opt out of marketing emails (use unsubscribe links or reply “stop”)
