Last updated: May 2026
This privacy policy describes how White Bear Foot & Ankle Clinic (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit whitebearfootandankleclinic.com (the “Site”). This policy applies only to information collected through the Site, not to information collected in our office or through clinical services.
Information We Collect
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs

Information you provide
The Site does not collect personal information through forms, patient portals, or account registration. If you call our office using a phone number on the Site, we may record that the call-to-action button was clicked as an analytics event, but the content of your call is not captured by our website analytics.
Patient forms
The Site provides downloadable PDF forms for your convenience. These forms are printed and completed offline. We do not collect or store any information you enter into these forms through the Site. When you download a form, we record that download as an analytics event (e.g., which form was downloaded, when, and from which page). This does not capture any personal information you later enter into the form.
How We Use Your Information
We use automatically collected information to:
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve its content and functionality
- Analyze traffic patterns, including which pages are most visited and how visitors navigate the Site
- Understand the general demographics and interests of our visitors
We do not use information collected through the Site to make clinical decisions, identify individual patients, or build advertising profiles for remarketing.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics 4 with Google Signals
We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Signals enabled to analyze Site traffic. Google Signals uses data from users who are signed into their Google accounts and have enabled Ads Personalization. This allows Google to provide us with aggregated demographic and cross-device reports. Google may combine your Site visit data with data from other sites and services.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. You can disable Ads Personalization in your Google account settings.
For more information on how Google processes this data, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
Google Maps
We embed Google Maps on the Site to show our clinic location. When you load a page with an embedded map, Google may collect information about your device and browsing activity according to Google’s Privacy Policy.
Cookies
The Site uses cookies set by Google Analytics and Google Maps. These are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze Site usage and display maps. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of embedded maps.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share information collected through the Site only with Google through the analytics and mapping services described above.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 through the Site.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
