Our website address is: https://austindentalplusny.com. We do not sell, share, trade or distribute your data, or any collected data, in any way, shape or form.
What personal data we collect and why
Comments: when visitors leave comments, we collect form data, IP address, and browser user agent string for spam detection. Anonymized email hashes may be shared with the Gravatar service. Approved comments may display your profile picture publicly.
Media: avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) — visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images.
Cookies: comment cookies persist for one year; login cookies last two days; screen-option cookies last one year; "Remember Me" selections persist for two weeks; article-edit cookies expire after one day.
Embedded content: embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that other website, and those sites may collect data about you independently.
Who we share your data with
Mobile text-based marketing: we do not share your data with any third-party companies whatsoever unless it is for our own marketing or branding purposes. Text STOP to unsubscribe from text messages anytime.
How long we retain your data
Comments and opt-in data are retained indefinitely, unless otherwise requested by the customer, to enable automatic comment approval and marketing communications. Registered users' personal information is stored in their profile and can be edited or deleted anytime.
What rights you have over your data
You can request an exported file of your personal data or request erasure, excluding data we're required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Send requests via our contact page.
How we protect your data
Security measures include SSL/TLS encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection, access controls, employee training, and periodic security reviews. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
Data breach procedures
In case of a breach, we will contain and assess the scope immediately, notify affected individuals per applicable law, report to regulatory authorities within mandated timeframes, remediate the vulnerability, and document our response. If you suspect your data has been compromised, contact us immediately.
Third parties from whom we may receive data
Though data is not sold or shared, we may receive limited information from comment/blog platforms, analytics services, server/hosting providers, and payment/financing providers. All third parties must protect shared data consistent with this policy.
Automated decision making
We currently do not use automated decision-making or profiling based on user data in a way that has legal or similarly significant effects.
Health information & children's privacy
As a dental practice, our handling of protected health information (PHI) complies with applicable federal and state health privacy laws, including HIPAA. This policy does not supersede required medical privacy notices. Our services target adults — we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors under 13.
