How we handle your personal and health information
Allure RT MX coordinates concierge medical care between US, Canadian, and international patients and our partner specialists in Tijuana, Mexico. This page explains exactly what we collect, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and how to ask us to change or delete it.
1. Who we are
This site (allurert.com) is operated by Allure RT MX, a concierge medical tourism agency. We are the data controller for information you submit through this website. Our partner clinics are separate entities that act as data processors when we hand off your case to them for consultation or treatment.
Questions about this policy or any data we hold about you: [email protected]. We respond within five business days.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us directly
- Quick consultation request (lead form, first step): your full name, phone number, and the condition or procedure you're asking about.
- Patient intake (lead form, second step, optional but recommended): date of birth, gender, email address, mailing address, emergency contact name and phone, occupation, weight, height. We use these to prepare your case file before your consultation so the call goes faster.
- Free-text messages you send via our contact page or in reply to our emails. Treat these the way you would an email to a doctor's office: only include health information you're comfortable sharing.
Information collected automatically when you visit
- Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, device type, timestamps, the pages you viewed, and the page that referred you. We use these for security, fraud prevention, and to understand how the site is used.
- Cookies and similar technologies: a small set used for site function and for advertising measurement. See section 6 below.
- Ad-click identifiers: when you arrive from a Meta or Google ad, the URL often includes
fbclid,gclid, orutm_*parameters. We capture these so we can measure which ad campaigns deliver patients and improve our marketing.
Information we receive from third parties
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok: when you interact with our ads or our pixels fire on this site, these platforms share back aggregate audience and conversion data so we can measure ad performance.
- Our partner clinics: if you've already been seen by one of our partner clinics, they may share treatment notes back to our coordination team with your consent so we can support your follow-up care.
3. How we use your information
- To deliver the service you asked for. We send your case to a coordinator who calls you, prepares a written estimate, books your consultation, and coordinates logistics if you proceed.
- To share your case with the appropriate partner clinic after you've confirmed you want a consultation with that clinic. Your medical intake is shared only after you opt in to that specific consultation.
- To send transactional emails: appointment confirmations, intake receipts, pre- and post-trip instructions.
- To send occasional follow-up messages about your case. You can opt out of non-essential follow-ups any time by replying STOP or by emailing us.
- To measure and improve our advertising: we use aggregated ad-performance data to decide which ads to keep running. This is in our legitimate interest (and yours, since better targeting means fewer irrelevant ads).
- To comply with legal obligations, defend our legal rights, or respond to lawful requests from regulators.
4. Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal or health information to anyone, ever. We share only when we need to, only the minimum required, and only with these categories of recipients:
- Our internal coordination team: Natalia (lead patient coordinator) and the small team that supports her.
- The specific partner clinic you're consulting with: once you confirm a clinic, your medical intake and contact details are forwarded so they can prepare. If you decide not to proceed, no further information is shared.
- Service providers we use to operate the site and the service:
- Cloudflare — hosts this website and routes form submissions. Standard server logs sit here for up to 30 days.
- Resend — delivers our transactional and notification emails.
- Google (Google Sheets via Apps Script) — the internal spreadsheet our coordination team uses as a CRM to track who has been called back.
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — advertising measurement via the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API. Personal identifiers sent to Meta for measurement (email and phone) are hashed using SHA-256 before they leave our server; Meta uses them only to match your event to an account, not to receive your raw information.
- TikTok — advertising measurement via the TikTok Pixel and the TikTok Events API, on the same basis as Meta. Email and phone are hashed using SHA-256 before they leave your browser or our server.
- Calendly — the scheduling widget used to book your consultation call. The name, email, and phone you enter to book go to Calendly to create the appointment.
- Blooio — delivers the confirmation text message to the phone number you give us, and relays your replies back to our team.
- LocaliQ — our third-party digital marketing provider, which plans, runs, and measures our advertising and marketing campaigns on our behalf. We may share your personal information (such as your contact details and how you interacted with our ads and this site) with LocaliQ so it can deliver and optimize that marketing for us. LocaliQ acts on our instructions as a service provider and is not permitted to use your information for its own unrelated purposes.
- Professional advisors (accountants, lawyers, insurance) on a strict need-to-know basis.
- Regulators or law enforcement when required by valid legal process.
- A buyer or successor if we are ever acquired, merged, or restructured. The buyer would be subject to this same policy.
5. How long we keep your information
- Lead-only data (Stage 1: name, phone, condition, ad-click identifiers): kept for up to 24 months from your last interaction so we can respond to follow-up questions, then deleted on our next quarterly cleanup.
- Patient intake data (Stage 2: DOB, gender, address, emergency contact, weight/height, etc.): kept for as long as we have an active care-coordination relationship plus 5 years to honor medical-record continuity expectations, then deleted unless required by applicable law to keep longer.
- Server logs: up to 30 days at the Cloudflare layer, longer only if required for an active security investigation.
- Advertising measurement data with Meta and TikTok: governed by Meta's data retention policy and TikTok's privacy policy respectively; we cannot extend or shorten those on their side.
You can ask us to delete your information earlier (see section 8).
6. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies in the following categories:
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to load, the forms to submit, and security and bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) to work. Cannot be disabled.
- Advertising and measurement — we run advertising pixels from Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok across this site. They set cookies and read device and browsing signals so those platforms can attribute a consultation request back to the ad you clicked and can build audiences for future ads. When you submit a form, we also send those platforms a hashed (irreversible) version of your email address and phone number so they can match the conversion to your account — this is known as advanced matching. We send some of these conversion events from our own servers as well as from your browser.
- Scheduling — our booking widget is provided by Calendly, which sets its own cookies when it loads. See Calendly's privacy policy.
- Campaign attribution on our advertising landing pages — our separate paid-search landing page uses a visitor-tracking script from our advertising agency's provider (LocaliQ) to attribute leads to campaigns.
We do not use Google Analytics on this site.
How to opt out. Choose Decline on the cookie banner at the bottom of the page. Declining revokes advertising consent for the Meta and TikTok pixels on this browser, and stops us from sending your hashed email or phone number to them. Your choice is remembered on this browser and applies on every page. You can also block this category with an ad blocker, or adjust your Meta ad preferences and TikTok ad settings directly. Note that clearing your browser storage erases the choice, and you will need to select Decline again.
7. Children's information
This site and our service are intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, please email [email protected] and we will delete it.
8. Your rights and how to use them
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- See what we have. A copy of your information in a portable format.
- Correct anything that's wrong, including outdated phone numbers, addresses, or medical intake details.
- Delete it. We will delete personal information unless we are legally required to keep it (for example, financial records for tax purposes).
- Stop us from using it for marketing. You can opt out of marketing email any time. Reply STOP to any text-message follow-up.
- Withdraw consent you previously gave for a specific use.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with the email address or phone number we have on file. We respond within five business days and complete the requested action within 30 days unless we tell you we need longer (we will explain why).
If you live in California
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the rights above plus the right to not be discriminated against for exercising them (we will not change your service in retaliation).
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, because we send identifiers and activity data to Meta and TikTok so they can target and measure our ads, this qualifies as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. The categories shared are identifiers (hashed email address and phone number, cookie and device identifiers, IP address) and internet activity (the pages you viewed and the form you submitted).
To opt out of sharing, choose Decline on the cookie banner at the bottom of any page — that is our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism. We also honor Global Privacy Control signals where your browser sends them. You may alternatively email [email protected] and we will apply the opt-out to your record. We do not knowingly share the personal information of anyone under 16.
If you live in the EU, the UK, or Switzerland
The GDPR / UK GDPR gives you all of the rights above plus the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority if you are not satisfied with how we have handled your request. We rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent for marketing communications, which you give by checking the consent box on our forms and can withdraw at any time.
- Legitimate interests for the Meta and TikTok advertising pixels, which load by default. If you are in the EU, the UK, or Switzerland and do not want them, choose Decline on the cookie banner (see section 6) — we recognize that this is a lower standard than the prior opt-in consent that the ePrivacy Directive expects, and we are working toward a full consent gate.
- Contract for the consultation coordination service you asked us to perform.
- Legitimate interests for security, fraud prevention, and aggregate advertising measurement, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
- Legal obligation where a law requires us to keep records.
If you live in Mexico
This site complies with the Mexican Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP). You may exercise your ARCO rights (acceso, rectificación, cancelación, oposición) by emailing the address above. Our designated privacy point of contact is the Allure RT MX coordination team.
9. Data security
We protect your information with industry-standard controls:
- All form submissions travel over HTTPS and are encrypted in transit.
- Access to our coordination CRM is limited to named team members and requires individual login credentials.
- Identifiers we send to Meta and TikTok for advertising measurement are SHA-256 hashed before they leave our server.
- We do not store payment information on our own servers; payments, when they occur, go through standard PCI-DSS compliant processors at the partner clinic or travel layer.
No security program eliminates risk entirely. If we ever experience a breach that affects your information, we will notify you and the relevant regulators in line with applicable law.
10. International transfers
Allure RT MX coordinates care between countries by design, so your information will cross borders. Specifically, data may be processed in:
- The United States, where most of our service providers (Cloudflare, Resend, Google, Meta, TikTok, Calendly) operate.
- Mexico, where our coordination team and partner clinics are located.
- The European Union, if you submitted information from there.
Where required, transfers are made under appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses, equivalent mechanisms, or your explicit consent for the consultation you requested).
11. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices change. The "Last reviewed" date at the top reflects the most recent substantive update. If we make a change that materially affects your rights, we will notify active patients by email before the change takes effect.
12. SMS / text messaging program
If you provide your mobile number and consent — for example, by checking the contact-consent box on a form on allurert.com or on one of our Facebook/Meta lead forms — Allure RT may send you text messages related to your inquiry: consultation and appointment confirmations, booking links, reminders, and follow-ups from our coordination team.
- Message frequency varies based on your interaction with us. You will typically receive a confirmation text when you inquire, plus occasional reminders and follow-ups about your consultation.
- Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
- To opt out at any time, reply STOP to any message; you will receive one confirmation and then no further texts. For help, reply HELP or email [email protected].
- No mobile information or SMS opt-in consent is shared with any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never sold or shared for third-party marketing under any circumstances.
- Consenting to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or of receiving a consultation. You can still reach us by phone or email if you prefer not to receive texts.
