Privacy Policy

1. Who we are and what this covers

NPIFinder.com (“NPIFinder”, “we”) is a free directory for looking up National Provider Identifier (NPI) records. This policy explains what information we collect from visitors, how we use it, and where the provider information published on the site comes from.

2. Provider information on this site

The provider records shown on NPIFinder (names, NPI numbers, taxonomy codes, license numbers, practice and mailing addresses, phone and fax numbers, enumeration and update dates) are public records published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) under the NPPES Data Dissemination Notice and the Freedom of Information Act. We republish this data as received and do not add private information to it.

If you are a provider and your record is wrong, update it in NPPES at nppes.cms.hhs.gov; changes flow through to NPIFinder when we next sync. If you believe a record on this site contains information that NPPES does not disclose, contact us and we will review it.

3. Information we collect from visitors

• Server logs. Like most websites we record the IP address, browser type, referring page, pages requested and timestamps of each request for security, abuse prevention and capacity planning. Logs are retained for a limited period.
• Contact form. When you use the contact form we receive the name, email address and message you submit, and we use them only to reply to you.
• Cookies and analytics. We may use privacy-respecting analytics and, where advertising is shown, advertising partners that set cookies to measure and serve ads. You can block cookies in your browser; the site keeps working without them.

4. How we use information

We use visitor information to operate and secure the site, understand which pages are useful, answer messages, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell visitor information.

5. Third parties

The site is delivered through a content delivery network and may load fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from advertising or analytics providers. Those providers process requests under their own privacy policies. Links to external websites (including the NPPES registry, state licensing boards and map services) are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

6. Your choices and rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have sent us (for example through the contact form) by contacting us. Requests concerning NPPES provider records must be directed to CMS/NPPES, which is the data controller for that information.

7. Children

NPIFinder is a professional reference tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page shows the latest revision.

9. Contact
