Privacy
NPI Locate has no accounts, no forms that collect personal data and sells no data.
Cookies and analytics
NPI Locate sets no cookies of its own. The only things always stored are Cookie Munch’s: one cookie that remembers your choice, and an entry in your browser’s session storage that reports the names of the cookies on this site, at most once per visit. Google Analytics, which counts visits and shows which pages are useful, is optional: it stays off until you choose to allow “Statistics” in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.

Google Analytics may receive your IP address and basic browser details when you allow Statistics. You can also block it with your browser’s privacy settings or an extension.
Searches
When you search, your query is sent from our server to the public CMS NPPES API and the response is cached briefly. We do not store searches, IP addresses or search history. Nothing you type into the NPI validator leaves your browser.
Your data rights
You can ask what data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, using the privacy rights form. NPI Locate keeps no accounts and no list of visitors, so for most people the answer is that there is nothing beyond the analytics record described above.
Consent provider
Your cookie choice is handled by Cookie Munch (cookiemunch.net), which records the choice you make in the banner.
