Where the data comes from, and what we leave out.
Public registries, and the pages practices publish about themselves. No patient records. No guessed personal emails. No certification badges we have not earned.
Sources
NPPES, the public NPI registry, is read from its weekly files. CMS Medicare clinician data is read monthly. Open places data contributes location candidates. A practice website is fetched only as a candidate and kept only after the page corroborates the registry identity.
No PHI
This is not a patient product and it is not a HIPAA product. The dataset does not contain diagnoses, claims, eligibility, or clinical notes. It contains business information: who operates where, and what they publish about that office.
What is collected
Practice names, addresses, phones, websites, published services, published team names, and published contact channels. Technology fingerprints only when the page exposes them.
What is not
Patient data. Personal email addresses that were never published. Inboxes invented from a pattern. Ownership claims that the evidence does not support. A statement that a practice has no website, when the honest status is that we have not resolved one.
How sites are fetched
Ordinary HTTP first. Pages are cached. Requests identify PracticeMCP, honor robots.txt, and stay inside a rate and size budget. A browser render is a fallback when the HTML is missing the content, not the default. Logged-in systems are out of scope.
How customers should use it
Outreach laws are the customer's responsibility. That includes CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, and state privacy laws that apply to their campaign. A published business phone is not permission to autodial. A published address is not a mailing list we certified.
Corrections
Remove or correct a practice record.
If you operate a practice and a record is wrong, or you want it removed from customer delivery, send the location and the change. We update the record or suppress it. This form opens an email to [email protected] until a form endpoint is configured.
