Who do I contact with questions or concerns about this privacy policy?
Personal information is generally any information about an identifiable person other than the name, title, or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization, provided that such business contact information is used only to contact the employee in their business or professional capacity.
(Please note: Personal health information provided during patient intake or treatment is protected under separate provincial/federal healthcare privacy legislation, such as PHIPA, and is managed under our in-clinic patient confidentiality standards).
We collect personal information from you only for the purposes we identify to you at or prior to the time we collect such personal information. We do not require this information in order for you to obtain access, to surf, or to view the content on the Practice Site.
For those few activities on our Site where the collection of personal information is necessary (for example, when you contact us with a question, request an appointment, or submit a patient inquiry), you will know because the purposes for which your personal information is to be used will be identified to you. For those activities, we may collect, for example, your name, street address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and postal code. We will not collect more information than is necessary.
The Practice Site collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. For instance, when you come to our Site, your IP address may be collected so that we know how many visits we have had by separate individuals. An IP address is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your firm or company. This information is not personally identifiable.
The Practice Site uses cookies to measure visitor analytics and assist visitors with access to site information. Using browser settings or additional software to block cookies may affect this functionality. By using the Practice Site you accept the storage and accessing of these cookies on your device.
Third parties, including Facebook and Google, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Practice Site and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. You may opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
We collect and use personal information to respond to your questions or comments, to schedule appointments, to send out information on our dental services or our practice, and to administer certain services as identified to you at the point of collection. We will also use such information for statistical and marketing analyses, in a form where the information is no longer identifiable with you.
How long we retain your personal information depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process the data. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
We do not sell personal information to anyone under any circumstances. We use your personal information only to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (as described to you at the point of collection). We will not disclose such information, other than as follows:
To comply with any legal actions like a court order, to enforce our user agreement/terms and conditions for the Practice Site, or to protect the safety and security of guests and our site; and
As otherwise required by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may also send personal information outside of the country for the purposes set out above, including for processing and storage by dental software or IT service providers in connection with such purposes. You should note that while such information is out of the country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.
To the best of our ability, we ensure that anyone to whom personal information is transferred complies with these privacy standards and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. When disclosed to a third-party for any of the foregoing reasons, your personal information may also be subject to the data retention policy of the third-party.
We value the diverse backgrounds of all people and are committed to ensuring everyone using our website and dental services is treated fairly and respectfully. We do not post content that violates any laws or regulations prohibiting discrimination based on personal attributes such as race, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, disability, medical or genetic condition. We do not engage in discriminatory advertising practices, including the use of digital audience selection systems to wrongfully target advertising to, or withhold dental care accessibility advertising from, specific groups of people. We will remove any user-posted content that violates this policy.
While the Practice Site provides information regarding dental services for patients of all ages, online interactive features (such as appointment requests or contact forms) are intended for and directed toward adults or guardians. If you are under the age of 13, do not provide any information on the Practice Site without the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
Please note that once you have clicked on a link on the Practice Site (such as external patient education portals or third-party scheduling software), you may leave the Practice Site to a site which is no longer under the control of the Practice, and to which our privacy policy no longer applies. You must read the privacy policy, if any, of each linked site to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
