Welcome to Physician Living. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our services:

Information You Provide Directly

• Communications: When you contact us via email or forms, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email, and message content.
• Newsletter Sign-Up: When you subscribe to our email list, we collect your name and email address.
