Dental and Health Information
Information connected with dental or medical care may receive additional protection under applicable privacy laws. Information created or maintained as part of actual treatment, patient records, diagnosis, treatment planning, billing, or clinical care may be governed by separate privacy notices and healthcare privacy requirements.
This Privacy Policy primarily addresses website and online interactions. It does not replace any notice that applies specifically to clinical patient records or care delivered by a dental provider.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The website may use cookies, analytics technologies, pixels, tags, and similar tools. These technologies can help the website function properly, remember preferences, understand traffic and visitor behavior, improve performance, and measure marketing campaign results.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Limiting cookies may affect how some website features work.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information simply because a visitor submits information through this website. We may share information when reasonably necessary with:
- Website hosting, technology, and maintenance providers
- Appointment and communication platforms
- Analytics and marketing providers, where applicable
- Professional advisors supporting legitimate business or legal needs
- Government authorities or law enforcement when disclosure is legally required
- Other parties when you provide appropriate authorization or consent
These parties may process information for legitimate operational, service-related, business, legal, or authorized purposes consistent with their role.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to help protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. Safeguards are reviewed in relation to the nature of the information and how it is handled.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. Although we work to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Websites and Links
This website may link to third-party websites, social media platforms, external services, or other online resources. Rocky Mountain Dental Specialists does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third parties.
Review the privacy policy of any external website before submitting personal information to it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have choices or rights that allow you to:
- Request access to personal information we maintain about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion when that right is available under applicable law
- Opt out of certain communications or unsubscribe from marketing emails
- Manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings
Available rights and the conditions that apply to them may vary based on your location and governing law.
Email and Marketing Communications
If you provide an email address, we may contact you about your inquiry, appointment request, services, customer support, or other information you requested. When marketing communications are sent, you may unsubscribe using the mechanism provided in the message.
Opting out of marketing does not necessarily stop transactional, appointment-related, or service communications needed to respond to your request or provide a service.
Children’s Privacy
Our dental practices may serve children and families, but this website is not intentionally designed to collect a child’s personal information without appropriate involvement from a parent or legal guardian. Parents and guardians should supervise information submitted online on behalf of a minor and contact us if they believe a child’s information was provided inappropriately.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. Any revised version will be published on this website. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to understand our current practices.
