Springtown Pediatric Dentistry is committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals who visit our website, contact our office, or interact with us in any way. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and what choices you have regarding your information. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website or submitting information to us, you agree to the practices described here.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website and through other interactions with our practice. It does not apply to information collected in the context of your clinical care, which is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
We collect two types of information: information you provide to us voluntarily, and information collected automatically when you use our website.
We may collect personally identifiable information when you fill out a contact form, request an appointment, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a review, or otherwise communicate with us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other information you choose to provide. If you are an existing patient communicating with us through our patient portal, additional protections apply as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other browsing behavior. This information is used in aggregate to help us understand how visitors use our site and to improve the user experience.
Our website uses cookies, which are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help us remember your preferences, understand how you navigate our site, and improve functionality. We may also use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics that collect and process information about your use of our website on our behalf.
You may configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that some features of our website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to respond to your inquiries and appointment requests, to communicate with you about our services, to send appointment reminders or follow-up communications where you have consented, to improve our website content and user experience, to comply with legal obligations, and to protect the security and integrity of our website and practice.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling in ways that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
[PRACTICE NAME] does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances.
We may share your information with trusted third-party vendors and service providers who assist us in operating our website, managing communications, or conducting our business. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, including courts, law enforcement agencies, and government regulators.
In the event that Springtown Pediatric Dentistry is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other business transition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may disclose your information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Springtown Pediatric Dentistry, our patients, or others.
Springtown Pediatric Dentistry takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Access to personal information within our organization is limited to staff members who need it to carry out their responsibilities.
While we take these precautions seriously, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to take care when sharing personal information online.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, or other online services that are not operated by Springtown Pediatric Dentistry. This Privacy Policy applies only to our website. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices of any third-party site. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Springtown Pediatric Dentistry may maintain a presence on social media platforms, including [LIST APPLICABLE PLATFORMS, e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Google]. If you interact with us through those platforms, your interactions are subject to the privacy policies of those platforms, not this policy. We encourage you to review the privacy settings and policies of any social media platform you use.
If you submit a review of our practice through a third-party platform such as Google or Yelp, that review is subject to the terms of the relevant platform. We may reference or respond to public reviews, but will not include any information in our response that you have not already made public.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child, please contact us at (512) 393-5437.

Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still contact you with important information related to your care or account.
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but you may use browser settings and privacy tools to limit tracking.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the information at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
