Patient information
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information our website collects, how we use it and the choices you have. Your dental records are additionally protected under HIPAA — see our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Effective date: 2026-10-12
Information we collect
Information you provide: when you request an appointment through our Jotform-hosted form, you may share your name, phone number, preferred office, preferred time and a brief reason for your visit.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring site. We use this in aggregate to keep the site secure and improve it.
AI concierge conversations: messages you type into the Ask Healthy Smiles assistant are processed to generate a reply. Please do not enter medical record numbers, insurance member IDs, Social Security numbers or detailed health history into the chat.
How we use information
To respond to appointment requests, confirm visits, answer questions, improve our website and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Service providers
We rely on trusted vendors to host this website, power our online forms (Jotform) and run our AI concierge. These providers may process information only on our behalf and under contractual confidentiality obligations. Where a vendor handles protected health information, we require a Business Associate Agreement.
Cookies
We use essential cookies required for the site to function. Embedded maps and forms may set their own cookies under their providers' policies. You can block cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work as a result.
Your California privacy rights
California residents may request to know what personal information we have collected, request deletion or correction, and opt out of any sale or sharing (we do not sell or share). We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, call any office and ask for our Privacy Officer; we will verify your identity before responding.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children. Parents scheduling for a child should complete forms on the child's behalf.
Security & retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encrypted HTTPS connections. We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it was last revised.
