We automatically collect certain technical data when you visit our site, including:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser type and device information

  • Improve design, speed, and content relevance
  • Measure campaign effectiveness

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features of the site may not function properly without them.

You share information with us at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.

11. HIPAA Disclaimer

While this website may collect health-related information, NYBirthInjury.com is not a “covered entity” under HIPAA. We do not maintain electronic medical records or act as a healthcare provider.
