Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 07/08/2026
Last Updated: 07/08/2026

Clarity Autopsy Services LLC (“Clarity,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share through this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through AutopsyClarity.com, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you may have regarding your information.

This website is intended to provide general information about our services, including private autopsies, forensic pathology consultation, medical record review, and related professional services. If you provide health-related or case-specific information through this website, we will handle it with appropriate care and discretion. If Clarity Autopsy Services is a HIPAA-covered provider, your protected health information may also be governed by a separate Notice of Privacy Practices that must be posted and made available on the website.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Submit a contact form.
  • Request a consultation.
  • Send us an email.
  • Call us or otherwise communicate with us through the website.
  • Upload or transmit case-related information or documents.

The information you provide may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Mailing address
  • Relationship to the deceased
  • Professional role, such as attorney, insurer, or agency representative
  • Information about the deceased
  • Date and location of death
  • Medical, autopsy, or case-related details
  • Any other information you choose to provide.

We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the website, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Pages viewed
  • Date and time of access
  • Referring website or link
  • Basic usage and diagnostic information.

How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests.
  • Evaluate whether our services may be appropriate for your matter.
  • Communicate with you about appointments, consultations, or services.
  • Review information you provide in connection with a potential engagement.
  • Improve the website, security, and user experience.
  • Maintain records of communications and requests.
  • Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations.

We collect and use information for legitimate business and professional purposes and aim to limit collection to the information reasonably necessary to respond to your request or provide services. That general principle is consistent with federal privacy guidance describing collection and use of information to respond to inquiries and carry out operations.

Health Information and HIPAA

Because this website may be used by individuals seeking forensic pathology services, communications may involve health or death-related information. HIPAA applies to protected health information held by covered health care providers that conduct certain electronic transactions, and it gives individuals rights regarding that information.

If Clarity Autopsy Services is a HIPAA-covered entity, a separate Notice of Privacy Practices should explain:

  • How protected health information may be used and disclosed.
  • The organization’s duties to protect health information.
  • Individual privacy rights.
  • How to file a complaint or request more information.

If you are not sure whether HIPAA applies to your interaction with Clarity, you can contact the practice directly for clarification. HHS also states that covered entities with websites must prominently post their Notice of Privacy Practices online.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

  • With service providers or contractors who help operate the website or support communications.
  • With laboratories, consultants, or professionals involved in a case, when appropriate and authorized.
  • With attorneys, insurers, agencies, or other parties as necessary to provide requested services or as directed by the client.
  • When required by law, court order, subpoena, regulation, or professional obligation.
  • To protect rights, safety, security, or property, where legally permitted.

If protected health information is involved and HIPAA applies, disclosures may be subject to HIPAA’s limits and conditions as described by HHS.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information submitted through the website. HHS states that the HIPAA Privacy Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect protected health information, and the HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards for protecting electronic protected health information.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. For that reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security, even though we take privacy and security seriously.

Confidential Communications

If the website offers secure or HIPAA-compliant communication methods, those should be used for sensitive medical or case information whenever possible. If you contact us through a general web form or standard email, you should understand that ordinary internet communications may carry risk, even when handled carefully. HHS privacy guidance emphasizes the duty to protect health information and provide notice of privacy practices where applicable.

Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies, server logs, or analytics tools to understand website traffic, maintain security, and improve site performance. Privacy guidance commonly recognizes collection of website-visit information for security and internal operations purposes.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some technologies may affect how the website functions.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites for convenience or additional information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites, and you should review their policies separately.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on the nature of your relationship with Clarity and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to certain personal information.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask questions about how your information is used.
  • Request a copy of an applicable Notice of Privacy Practices.
  • File a privacy-related complaint.

HHS states that HIPAA gives individuals rights over protected health information, including rights to examine and obtain copies of health records and request corrections.

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide services, maintain required business and professional records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended for children to use independently, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the website without appropriate authorization.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or services. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page.
