How we collect, use, and protect information — including the phone numbers and text-message consent of people who contact us.
Reterna is a local search and lead-response service for licensed medical spas, operated by Ander Wolf LLC (“Reterna,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what we do with information collected through our website at reterna.health, through our business phone and text line, and through the calls, forms, and emails people use to reach us.
This policy applies to people who visit our site, book a consultation, or communicate with us about our services. It does not cover the patient information we process on behalf of medical spa clients, which is governed separately — see section 11.
We collect only what we need to answer enquiries and deliver our services. Specifically:
Before contacting a prospective client, we may review publicly available business information — for example a Google Business Profile, a business website, or a public business directory listing. This is business information, not personal information about consumers, and we do not compile it into profiles for sale.
We use the information described above to:
We do not sell personal information, and we do not rent or trade contact lists.
Reterna operates a business phone line that can send and receive text messages. This section explains how that works and what we do with mobile information.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
All of the sharing categories described in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. This information will not be shared with any third parties.
Mobile opt-in data and consent are shared only with the service providers that operate our phone and messaging systems, strictly to deliver the messages you have asked for, and under obligations of confidentiality. They may not use it for their own marketing.
We send text messages only to people who have agreed to receive them. Consent is obtained in one of two ways:
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase of any goods or services from Reterna. We do not send text messages to numbers obtained from purchased lists, from public business directories, or from any third party.
Messages relate to your enquiry or your account with us — replying to your questions, confirming or rescheduling a consultation, following up after a call, and sending information you have requested. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to any message to opt out at any time. We will send one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and then send nothing further unless you opt in again. Reply HELP for assistance, or contact us using the details in section 14.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Full messaging terms are set out in our SMS Terms.
We share information only in the limited circumstances below. As stated in section 4, text messaging opt-in data and consent are excluded from every category listed here and are not shared with any third party.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the site to function, and to understand how visitors use it so we can improve it. Our scheduling tool sets cookies so that a booking works correctly across pages.
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to measure how the site is used. It sets cookies and collects information such as the pages you view, how long you spend on them, the approximate location derived from your IP address, and the site or search that referred you. We use this only in aggregate, to understand which pages are useful and where visitors come from. We have not enabled Google Analytics advertising features, and we do not use it to build advertising audiences or to identify you personally. Google processes this information on our behalf and its own use of it is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Analytics is not used on any system that holds patient information, and we do not place it on our clients’ patient-facing booking or intake systems.
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when they are being set. Parts of the site may not work properly if you do. We do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, as no common standard for them has been adopted.
We keep enquiry and consultation records for as long as needed to respond to you and for a reasonable period afterwards, and client records for the duration of our engagement plus the period required for tax and legal purposes. Records of text messaging consent and opt-out are kept for as long as we operate the messaging programme, because we are required to be able to demonstrate them. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or render it unidentifiable.
We use access controls, encryption in transit, reputable vendors, and the principle of collecting as little as possible. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but we take these obligations seriously and review them as we grow.
To exercise any of these, contact us using section 14. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Reterna does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. You may designate an authorised agent to make a request for you. We will verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will not treat you differently for making one.
When we work with a medical spa, we may process information about that spa’s patients on the spa’s behalf. That processing is governed by our written agreement with the spa and, where applicable, a Business Associate Agreement under HIPAA — not by this Privacy Policy. In those arrangements the medical spa controls the information and is the right point of contact for patient privacy requests. Protected health information is not used for our own marketing, is not sent through our business text line, and is not placed in the body of any message.
Reterna sells to businesses. Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy as our services or the law change. The effective date at the top of this page will always show the current version. If we make a material change to how we handle your information, we will take reasonable steps to tell you.
