Last updated: August 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Mariposa Psychiatry, the private practice of Dr. Alba Eunice Lara, MD ("we," "us," or "the practice"), handles information collected through this website, mariposapsychmd.com. Our office is located at 6850 Austin Center Blvd, Bldg 2, Ste 320, Austin, TX 78731, and can be reached at 512-256-0547 or frontdesk@mariposapsychmd.com.
This policy covers only information collected through this website. Information collected during clinical care is governed separately by our Notice of Privacy Practices under HIPAA, which is provided to patients when care begins.
We collect information in the following ways:
When you submit the practice inquiry form or contact us by phone or email, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, the reason for your inquiry, and any details you choose to include. The inquiry form is hosted by Google Forms, and the information you enter is collected and stored through Google's services on our behalf. Please avoid including detailed health information in the inquiry form; a brief description of what you are looking for is sufficient at this stage.
When you visit this website, limited technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting and analytics providers, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. We use Google Analytics to understand general site usage, which involves cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies and analytics" below). This information is used to operate the site, keep it secure, and improve it.
We use the information collected through this website to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the information you submit for advertising to you.
We rely on the following third-party services, each of which may process limited information as described:
These providers act as our service providers and are expected to handle information consistent with their own privacy policies and applicable law.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. This website uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies and uses similar technologies to measure how visitors use the site. These analytics cookies help us understand overall traffic and usage patterns; they are not used to advertise to you. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through this website, including delivering the site over a secure (HTTPS) connection. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. This website is not a secure medium for sharing detailed health information.
We retain information submitted through the inquiry form and by email only for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and to meet our ordinary business and legal record-keeping needs. When it is no longer needed for those purposes, it is deleted or de-identified.
You may contact us at frontdesk@mariposapsychmd.com to ask what information we hold about you, to request corrections, or to request deletion, subject to any legal record-keeping obligations. Depending on your state of residence — including Texas, California, and other states where residents may have specific privacy rights — you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or limit certain uses. We will honor applicable rights as required by law.
This website is intended for adults. The practice provides care to adults aged 18 and older, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be posted on this page.
