PediaBloom Collective ("PediaBloom," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit our website or interact with our services.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Who We Are

PediaBloom Collective is a network of independently licensed pediatric and family-focused providers across health, development, and education that are dedicated to collaborative and neuroaffirmative care. PediaBloom is not a clinical practice and does not provide medical, psychological, therapeutic, or educational services directly. Each provider in our network operates their own independent practice and is responsible for their own privacy practices, including compliance with HIPAA where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide directly. When you contact us, fill out a form, apply to join the Collective, become a member, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, practice information, professional credentials, licenses, certifications, CV or resume, professional history, areas of practice, location, application materials, membership information, and other information you choose to provide.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, our service providers and we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is typically collected through cookies and similar technologies.

Information from third-party services. Our website is hosted on Squarespace and uses third-party tools such as Google Forms (for applications) and may use embedded analytics, scheduling, or communication tools provided by our network providers. These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Information we do not collect on this website. PediaBloom's public website is not intended to collect protected health information (PHI). Any clinical or health information you share directly with a PediaBloom provider is handled under that provider's own privacy practices and applicable laws, not this Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests

• Review applications from providers who wish to join the collective

• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services

• Communicate with you about PediaBloom news, updates, or events (where permitted)

• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or misuse

• Comply with legal obligations

• Please do not submit medical records, diagnostic reports, treatment records, or other sensitive health information through the public website or general contact forms. If protected or sensitive health information is necessary for provider collaboration, it should be communicated only through an approved secure method.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

With network providers. If you reach out for a referral or specifically request to be connected with a provider, we may share your contact information with that provider so they can follow up with you.

With service providers. We use trusted third-party vendors (for website hosting, form processing, email, analytics, and similar services) who access information only as needed to perform services on our behalf.

For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PediaBloom, our users, or others.

With your consent. We may share information in other circumstances when you give us permission to do so.

With authorized personnel and contractors. PediaBloom employees, administrative personnel, contractors, and other authorized individuals may access personal or professional information when reasonably necessary to perform services on behalf of PediaBloom, including membership administration, credentialing, website management, onboarding, payment administration, technical support, and other operational functions. Access is limited to information reasonably necessary for the individual's role and is subject to applicable confidentiality, privacy, and security requirements.

5. Provider Collaboration and HIPAA

PediaBloom offers a separate, HIPAA-compliant provider portal that allows credentialed providers in our network to communicate about shared patients when authorized by the family. Information shared within that portal is governed by HIPAA and the providers' own privacy practices, not by this website Privacy Policy. Collaboration involving identifiable patient information occurs only as permitted by applicable law and PediaBloom's applicable privacy, authorization, and security requirements.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve your experience. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect how the site functions.

7. Children's Privacy

Although PediaBloom serves families with children, our website is intended for use by parents, guardians, caregivers, and providers, not by children directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk.

PediaBloom maintains administrative control over its organizational accounts, systems, website, databases, and business records. Access provided to employees, contractors, members, or other authorized users is role-based and may be modified or revoked by PediaBloom when appropriate. Authorized users may not retain, copy, disclose, transfer, or use information obtained through PediaBloom systems except as authorized by PediaBloom or required by law.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your information, or to opt out of certain communications. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

10. Third-Party Links
