Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2024

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for kentfielddental.com. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website, except where stated otherwise. It will notify you of the following:

• What information we collect;
• With whom it is shared;
• How it can be corrected;
• How it is secured;
• How policy changes will be communicated; and
• How to address concerns over misuse of personal data.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to, and collect, information that you voluntarily give us via email, our contact and appointment-request forms, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us — for example, to answer a question or to schedule and coordinate your care. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new services, or changes to this privacy policy.

We will not share or sell your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your personal data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

All of the above categories exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number provided on our website:

• See what data we have about you, if any;
• Change or correct any data we have about you;
• Ask us to delete any data we have about you;
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as payment or credit-card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a padlock icon in your browser's address bar, or for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or patient care) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's device to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors. For instance, a cookie can help us remember your preferences so you don't have to re-enter them, saving time on your next visit. Cookies can also enable us to understand the interests of our visitors to enhance their experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Patient health information

This website privacy notice is separate from the Notice of Privacy Practices that governs your protected health information (PHI) as a patient of the practice under HIPAA. Please don't include detailed medical information in website forms — we'll gather what we need securely when we speak.

Changes to this policy & how to reach us

If we make material changes to this policy, we will post them on this page with an updated effective date. If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, or if you have any questions, please contact us immediately — call or text (415) 456-5402 or email info@kentfielddental.com.
