Privacy policy

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Please read this policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, and otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in connection with this website.

When you register on our site or submit a request, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, phone number, or other details to help us assist you.

We collect information from you when you fill out a form or enter information on our site. We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type and how you navigate the site, as described in the cookies section below.

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, request an appointment, respond to a survey or marketing communication, browse the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

• To follow up with you after correspondence, including live chat, email, or phone inquiries.
• To schedule, confirm, and remind you about appointments at our office.
• To improve how this website works and to understand which pages our visitors find useful.

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enable the site's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to:

• Understand and save your preferences based on previous or current site activity, so we can improve your experience.
• Keep track of advertisements.
• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions so we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can turn off all cookies through your browser settings. Because each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, some features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.

We use Google Tag Manager and Google's analytics and advertising services on this website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to understand how visitors use our site and, in some cases, to show our ads to people who have previously visited us.

We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website. Google's advertising practices are governed by Google's Advertising Principles.

Opting out: You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. You can also opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser Add-on.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties.

We do not include or offer third-party products or services for sale on our website. Our site does allow third-party behavioral tracking through the analytics and advertising services described above; you can limit this using the opt-out tools listed in that section.

If you consent to receive SMS messages from Smile Beautiful Dental, you agree to receive conversational, customer care, and appointment reminder messages from us. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply, and messaging frequency may vary.

No mobile opt-in consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track or plant cookies for advertising purposes when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

We treat patients of all ages, including children, and we collect children's health information only through our office as part of providing dental care to them, with a parent or guardian involved. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 outside of that context. If you believe a child has submitted information through this website, please contact us and we will remove it.

This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and information you submit through our forms is transmitted securely. Patient health records are maintained in our practice management systems with access limited to staff who need it to provide your care. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we encourage you to avoid sending detailed health information through web forms or email and to call the office instead.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how we handle your information.
