Information we may collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of messages you send through contact forms or email. We may also collect limited technical data automatically when you visit our website, such as browser type, general location (e.g., region), and pages viewed, to maintain security and improve the site.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and schedule or coordinate care-related communications
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and services

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist our practice (for example, website hosting or email delivery) subject to appropriate safeguards, or when required by law.

Health information

Protected health information (“PHI”) that we create or receive as part of providing dental care is governed by applicable privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which we provide to patients as required. This website policy focuses on general website and contact interactions; it does not replace our HIPAA Notice or other patient-specific rights documents.

We take reasonable steps to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we encourage you not to send sensitive clinical information through unsecured web forms if we have directed you to use a different channel.

Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13 as a primary audience. If you believe we have collected information from a child inappropriately, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
