WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: August 16, 2026

Introduction & Distinction from Our HIPAA Notice

This Website Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected through this website.

Please note that this policy is distinct from our Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP):

Website Privacy Policy: Governs non-clinical, general technical data, web traffic, and contact inquiries submitted online.
Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP): Governs Protected Health Information (PHI) collected, used, and disclosed in connection with clinical care and dental treatments under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

If you submit medical or dental history through a secure online patient portal or intake form, that information is treated as PHI and is governed by our NPP.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways when you visit or interact with our website:

Information You Provide Voluntarily:

Contact inquiries (name, phone number, email address, message details).
Online appointment request submissions.
Membership plan inquiries or newsletter sign-ups.

Information Collected Automatically:

IP address, browser type, device details, and operating system.
Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and general geographic location.
Cookie data and analytics tracking.

How We Use Your Information

We use non-PHI website data for the following legitimate business purposes:

Responding to patient inquiries and schedule requests.
Improving website performance, user experience, and navigation.
Maintaining website security, preventing fraud, and troubleshooting technical errors.
Running local search engine optimization (SEO) and measuring advertising performance.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or web browsing data to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies, web beacons, and standard analytics tools to analyze traffic and site activity.

Managing Cookies: You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Disabling cookies may affect certain interactive features of our website.
Do Not Track: Our site responds to browser security settings as required by applicable state regulations.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may integrate with third-party vendors to provide services such as online patient scheduling, patient management software, secure forms, or location maps. These vendors process data strictly to fulfill services on our behalf and are bound by contract to protect your data.

This site may also contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites.

Children’s Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our website is directed to adults and parents seeking dental care services. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal data through our website without parental consent, please contact us, and we will promptly delete it.

Florida Privacy Rights

Under applicable Florida law, Florida residents have specific rights regarding personal data collected online:

Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request information regarding the categories of personal data collected about you.
Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of non-clinical personal data collected through the website (clinical PHI retention remains governed by Florida Dental Board rules and HIPAA).
Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell personal data or engage in targeted advertising profiles using sensitive personal data.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures—including SSL encryption and managed firewall protection—to protect information collected through our website against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

We reserve the right to update this Website Privacy Policy at any time to reflect updates in technology, legal requirements, or practice operations. Revised versions will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
