Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Hazelnut Health PLLC ("Hazelnut," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information gathered through JoinHazelnut.com.

This website is a marketing and informational resource for licensed dietitians and nutritionists exploring independent contractor partnerships with Hazelnut Practice Partners. It is not a patient-facing website and does not collect, store, or process protected health information (PHI) of any kind.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you submit a Partnership Interest Form, you may provide your name, contact information, and details about your practice and location. This is the primary way we collect personal information. We do not require you to create an account or submit any financial, government-issued, or credential verification information through this website.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, JoinHazelnut.com automatically collects basic usage and device information when you visit, such as pages viewed, browser type, and general location. This data is used to understand how visitors interact with the site and is not used to identify you individually.

2. How We Use & Share Your Information

We use the information you submit through the Partnership Interest Form to review your practice profile, follow up to schedule an introductory call, and communicate with you about the Hazelnut partnership process. We use automatically collected data to understand site traffic and improve our marketing.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not use it for third-party advertising targeting.

We may share your information with service providers who help us operate this website and manage communications — such as our website platform and scheduling tools. These providers access your information only to perform services on our behalf. We may also share information with legal or regulatory authorities if required by law or court order.

If you ultimately enter into a contractor relationship with Hazelnut, your information will be handled under the terms of your Independent Contractor Agreement and any applicable onboarding policies.

3. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze usage, and measure marketing effectiveness. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit certain site features. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting hello@joinhazelnut.com. We will process requests in accordance with applicable laws.

5. This Website Is Not HIPAA-Covered

This website does not collect, transmit, or store protected health information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA. JoinHazelnut.com is a business marketing site, not a clinical platform. No information submitted through this website is subject to HIPAA protections.

If you are a current Hazelnut contractor and have questions about how patient data is handled within our clinical operations, please refer to the Hazelnut Health HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices or contact us directly.

6. Third-Party Links

This website may link to third-party websites, including government agencies, professional organizations, or software platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any information.

7. Geographic Scope

This website is intended for licensed dietitians and nutritionists located within the United States. Hazelnut currently accepts partners in Washington and Oregon, though this may expand over time. This website is not directed to users outside the United States. If you are accessing it from outside the United States, please be aware that any information you submit will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is intended strictly for licensed professionals and is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take prompt steps to delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of this website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
