This Privacy Policy explains how Saema Tahir, M.D. P.C. (“Dr. Tahir,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information you provide through this website.

This website is an information and outreach resource. It is not a patient portal, telehealth platform, or HIPAA-secured communication channel. Please do not submit detailed medical history, test results, prescription requests, or any urgent or emergency-related communication through this website. PHI exchanged in the office or on a HIPAA-compliant channel remains protected under HIPAA and the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided separately.
If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
We collect only the information you provide voluntarily through forms on this website. Specifically, the appointment request form and any general contact form may collect:
We do not require visitors to create an account to use the website, and we do not request Social Security numbers, financial information, or insurance ID numbers through this site.
We use form submissions solely to contact you about scheduling, to follow up on your inquiry, and to maintain a record of your request. We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or sale. We do not share, rent, or sell your information to third parties.
This website uses a small number of standard WordPress cookies that are required for the site to function (for example, to support form submission and site administration). These cookies do not track you across other websites.
This website does not currently run third-party advertising trackers, social media tracking pixels, or behavioral profiling tools. If we add web analytics or similar tools in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly. We do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals because there is no consensus standard for them.
Form submissions are processed by Gravity Forms, a WordPress plugin running on this website’s hosting environment. Submission contents are stored in the website’s database and emailed to the practice. The hosting provider and email transport service may have incidental access to submission data only as necessary to deliver the message. We require service providers to handle data confidentially and to use it only for the purposes for which we engaged them.
Form submissions are retained while they are useful for follow-up and recordkeeping. We periodically review and delete entries that are no longer needed. You may ask us to delete a submission at any time (see Section 9).
The website is served over HTTPS. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information collected through this website. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
These rights apply, where applicable, under the New York SHIELD Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). HIPAA-protected information held by the practice is governed by the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices, not this Privacy Policy.
To exercise any of these rights, email drst@drsaematahirmd.com or call (212) 382-1517. We will respond within a reasonable period and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Dr. Tahir treats pediatric patients, and a parent or legal guardian may submit an appointment request on behalf of a minor child. We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted information through this website, please contact us so we can delete it.
This website may link to third-party websites — for example, news outlets that have featured Dr. Tahir’s commentary. Those third parties have their own privacy policies and practices, and we are not responsible for them.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the website.
