This Privacy Policy is to protect and respect the privacy of all website visitors as permitted by local, state and federal laws. This online privacy statement allows us to inform you of the ways in which we collect your information with this website, and how that information will be used, as well as the ways in which we serve to protect any information you choose to give us.
This site collects four different types of information. They include: Web visitor logs, network traffic logs, cookies, and information provided by you on a voluntary basis.
Web Visitor Logs
Our website routinely stores and collects information related to site visitors, such as the pages landed on, the date and time the visits occurred, the person’s IP address, the version of browser being used to make the visit, the search terms used to find the site, and so on. This site makes no attempt to identify individuals from the information it gathers. Furthermore, personally identifiable information is never released to external third parties without your explicit consent unless required by law.
Web Traffic Logs
For the purposes of network security and consistent service for all users, we use software that monitors network traffic and identifies unauthorized access or access to information that isn’t public. The system can also detect computer viruses and malicious software that can damage our computers or the network. In conducting such monitoring, these software programs may detect elements like email headers, addresses from network packets, and other similar information. Any information gathered during these activities are used for the purposes of maintaining the security and performance of the network and all linked computer systems. Personally identifiable information that relates to these activities is never released to external parties without your consent unless required by law.
Cookies
Cookies are bits of data stored by your computer’s web browser on behalf of the Orthodontics website and returned to our site on request. Our site uses cookies for two primary purposes: 1) to analyze data about your visit from one web page to the next, and 2) to identify you and recognize your computer on the next visit. If you prefer not to use cookies, you may turn them off in your browser’s settings at any time, or you may set your browser to ask you to accept cookies on future return visits. If you choose not to accept cookies, please note that some pages may not function properly. Unless notified otherwise on your computer, we will never store data on cookies, except for the two reasons previously mentioned. Cookies will remain on your computer, and we never store cookies on our computers, nor do we forward them to any external third parties. Unless otherwise notified on the Orthodontics website, we do not use cookies to track your movement from website to website, and we never exchange cookies with other businesses or entities.
Information You Provide
When visiting the Orthodontics website, you may choose to provide us with information that can help us serve your needs. For instance, you might send us an email to request information, or you may sign up for your newsletter. You might submit your address to us for the purposes for receiving an application or other materials. Whatever the case may be, any personally identifiable information you send us will be used only for the purposes originally indicated. Any requests for information will be directed to the appropriate staff members to respond and may be recorded for training and to help us improve our site to better respond to such requests. We will never sell, distribute or exchange your personally identifiable information without your consent, except when required by law. We never retain information longer than is necessary to carry out our normal operations. Each web page that requests information discloses the purposes for receiving that information. If you do not wish to have your information used in the manner described, you are not required to provide the information. Please contact our office with any questions or concerns regarding the use of personally identifiable information.
The Orthodontics website sometimes links to other websites and resources. We do not have any control over these websites or resources, and we do not endorse them. We are also not responsible for these websites’ availability, delivery of services, or content. External sites are not bound by our privacy policy, and they may have their own privacy policies or none at all. Please be mindful when you are leaving our website by making sure the web address belongs to us.
If you have any questions about the ways in which your personal data is collected or used, call our office anytime.
