Privacy Policy
Website Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 19, 2026
This policy explains how Life Coast Community Health Center handles information collected through this website. It applies to this website only.
Health information created or received when you receive care is covered by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available on our Medical Records and Privacy Practices page.
Information this website collects
This website does not ask you to submit health information and does not include patient intake forms. If you contact us by phone or email, we use what you share only to respond to you.
- Basic technical information your browser sends, such as page requests, browser type and approximate location, which our hosting provider uses to deliver and secure the site.
- Your cookie preference, stored in your own browser so we do not have to ask again on every visit.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use cookies that are necessary to load pages, keep the site secure and remember your cookie choice. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell information collected on this website.
Optional Metricool analytics runs only after you choose Accept analytics, and only on the homepage and About page. Our request does not include the page address, search terms, form entries, provider information or browser cookies. It does not track appointment, portal or other button clicks. Like any connection to an external service, it exposes technical connection information such as your IP address to Metricool; consent does not make that information anonymous.
Choose Essential only to decline optional analytics. Use Cookie settings below to change your choice at any time and stop future tracking requests. Information already received by Metricool is not deleted by changing your choice. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Services we link to
Some buttons on this site take you to services run by other companies, including our patient portal, our online booking page, our donation page and social media pages. Once you leave this website, the privacy practices of that service apply. Please review their notices before entering personal information.
Email and phone
Regular email is not a secure way to send health information. Please do not include medical details in an email or website message. Call the clinic, or use the patient portal, to discuss your care.
Children
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect information from children. Parents and guardians can call the clinic with any question about a child's care or records.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect this website, including encrypted connections. No website can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please use the patient portal or the phone for anything sensitive.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it last changed. Continued use of the website after an update means the current version applies.
Questions
Call our Thibodaux clinic at 985-492-6170 or our Houma clinic at 985-360-3755 with any question about this policy or about your health information rights.
