Your choices
For certain health information, you may tell us your preferences about sharing information with family, close friends, or others involved in your care; disaster relief; and fundraising communications. Uses for marketing, sale of health information, and most uses of psychotherapy notes generally require written authorization when applicable. You may revoke an authorization in writing, except to the extent we have already acted on it.

Our responsibilities
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of protected health information, provide this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, notify affected individuals following a breach when required, and follow the notice currently in effect. We will not use or share information other than as described here unless you authorize us in writing or the law permits or requires it.
