Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Corva Medical (operated by Gbogbo Integrative Medicine PLLC) collects, uses, and handles information you provide through this website. Please review this policy before submitting any information. This policy applies to the website at https://corvamedical.com and does not cover services provided after a patient relationship is established, which are governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Information We Collect Directly
When you submit the contact form on this website, we collect the information you enter, which may include your first name, last name, email address, phone number, and the message you write. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and to direct it to the appropriate member of our practice team.
We do not use this website to create patient accounts, store payment information, or maintain clinical records. This website is a marketing and intake channel; clinical care and patient records are managed in separate, HIPAA-covered systems.
Contact Form — Important Notice
The contact form on this website is intended for general, non-urgent questions such as service inquiries, pricing, and appointment availability. Do not use the contact form to send urgent medical concerns, detailed health history, prescription requests, or other sensitive protected health information. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Messages you submit through the contact form are delivered to our practice inbox by Resend, a third-party email delivery service. Message content is transmitted and briefly processed by Resend for delivery purposes and is then received at our secure practice email address (info@corvamedical.com).
Third-Party Services Used on This Website
This website uses and links to services operated by third parties. When you interact with these services, their own privacy policies govern how your information is handled. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party platforms.
- CharmHealth (CharmEHR): When you use the online scheduling calendar embedded on our booking page or access the patient portal, you are interacting directly with CharmHealth systems. Information you enter during scheduling or within the patient portal is governed by CharmHealth’s privacy policy and terms of service. CharmHealth is a HIPAA Business Associate we work with for scheduling and electronic health records.

- Hosting and infrastructure providers: This website is hosted on third-party infrastructure. Hosting providers may collect standard server logs such as IP addresses, browser type, and page requests as part of normal website operation.
How We Use the Information We Collect
We use contact form submissions solely to:
- Respond to your question or inquiry.

- Follow up with information you specifically requested about our services.
We do not sell, rent, or share contact form information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use contact form submissions to build advertising profiles or retargeting lists.
Cookies and Tracking
This website does not knowingly deploy first-party tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or client-side analytics scripts. Third-party embedded content, such as the CharmHealth scheduling iframe, may set cookies governed by those third parties’ own policies. Standard browser mechanisms for managing or blocking cookies continue to apply.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for use by adults seeking care for themselves. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18 through this website. Pediatric or dependent care inquiries should be made by a parent or legal guardian.
