Effective date: October 18, 2026

Medical emergency: do not send urgent medical information through this website. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

CODE — Center for Obesity, Diabetes, and Endocrinology (“CODE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), operated by Odessa Consultants, PLLC, respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit codewtx.com, submit a form, or contact us through the website.

The name of your insurance plan, if you enter it
Messages you send us through the contact form

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our web server records technical information about each visit: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, the page that referred you, and the date and time. We use these logs to run and secure the website.

Health information

Please do not include medical details in website forms. Information you give us as a patient is protected under HIPAA and is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

How we use your information

To respond to your questions and messages
To process appointment requests and contact you about them by phone, text message, or email
To send you a link to our new-patient forms by text message or email
To run, maintain, and secure the website and prevent misuse
To meet legal, regulatory, and administrative obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited cases:

Service providers

Companies that help us run our practice and this website, such as our scheduling and electronic health record platforms and the email and text-message services we use to contact you and to alert our staff, process information on our behalf. They may use it only to provide those services to us.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or government request.

Protection of rights and safety

We may disclose information when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of our patients, staff, or practice.

Third-party links

Our website links to other services, such as our online new-patient forms (care.brainymed.com) and map services for directions. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies before sharing information with them.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect, and this website is served only over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. No website, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Text messages

Our team may contact you by phone, text message, or email about your request. The website itself does not send text messages, and submitting a form does not sign you up for marketing texts. Message and data rates may apply. If you prefer that we not text you, tell our team when we contact you or call us at (830) 423-5763.
