Privacy

The calculator never phones home.

Written for this site specifically, because a generic policy would misdescribe how the tool actually works.

Last updated 2026-08-11

Provider introductions and compensation

Some participating providers may pay us for introductions, lead delivery, or participation in the referral network. That commercial relationship does not authorize us to share your contact details without the consent shown on the relevant form. When you consent to provider introductions, we may share the minimum information needed with up to 3 relevant providers so they can respond. A paid introduction is not a medical endorsement, appointment guarantee, or guarantee of treatment suitability.

The calculator collects nothing

The price check runs entirely in your browser. The procedure you pick, the figure you enter and the ZIP or state you type are held in the page and nowhere else. They are not transmitted to us, not written to storage, and not recoverable once you close the tab. Reload the page and it is gone.

This is not a courtesy. It is the point. A tool that quietly harvests the number you are anxious about is not a tool you should trust, so we built it so that it can't.

What happens when you submit a form

If you choose to submit the quote form, the contact form, or the short form on our 404 page, we receive what you typed into it. On the quote form that can include your name, email, phone or WhatsApp number, procedure and quoted figure, ZIP or state, country, rough treatment timing, whether relevant records are ready, whether you have a written quote, the quote line-items you marked as explicitly included, and any note you chose to add. Submissions are delivered to a Google Apps Script endpoint and stored in a Google Sheet that only we can access.

We use that information to reply to you and, if you have asked us to, to request quotes on your behalf from providers. Where we pass your details to a provider, we pass only what they need in order to quote or clarify the request. We do not upload medical documents through the browser form. If you decide to share a PDF, image or record later, you do that separately through the communication channel you choose.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get used. It sets cookies and collects a truncated IP address, device and browser type, referring page, and coarse events such as running the calculator, submitting the quote-request form or clicking a WhatsApp link. We do not send the procedure you selected, the amount of your quote, your contact details, your records status or your quote-completeness answers to Google Analytics.

Any browser-level ad or analytics blocker will stop this, and the site works normally without it.

What we never do

We do not sell your information. We do not rent it, trade it, or add you to a marketing list you did not ask for. We do not run advertising on this site, so there are no ad-network trackers here. We do not attempt to identify you across other websites.

Third parties in the chain

Three services see data as a consequence of the site working: Google Analytics for the measurement described above, Google Apps Script and Google Sheets for form delivery and storage, and Google Fonts for typefaces. If you message us on WhatsApp, that conversation lives in WhatsApp under Meta's terms rather than ours.

Retention and your choices

Form submissions are kept for as long as we may plausibly need to help you, and reviewed periodically. Analytics data follows GA4's own retention settings.

Email andy@colombiamedical.co from the address you contacted us with and we will send you a copy of what we hold or delete it outright, whichever you ask for. We do not require a reason and we do not have a process you have to go through. Depending on where you live you may have rights under the GDPR, the CCPA or similar law; we apply the same approach to everyone regardless.

Children

This site is intended for adults making decisions about their own care. It is not directed at anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.
