We are glad to provide you with excellent dental services while also respecting your privacy. This notice discloses the privacy practices for information collected by this website, including:

COLLECTION, USE, AND SHARING OF INFORMATION

When you contact Chaney Family Dental Group, request an appointment, complete new patient forms or sign up to receive text messages, we may collect your name, email address, mobile phone number and any details you choose to share with us. We use this information to schedule and confirm appointments, send appointment reminders, practice updates and review requests, respond to your questions and provide care.

We may occasionally contact you via email to notify you of our newsletter, new services or changes to this privacy policy (unless, of course, you direct us not to).

TEXT MESSAGING AND MOBILE INFORMATION

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from all information sharing described in this policy and will not be shared with any third party. Information may be shared only with service providers that help us deliver our messages, such as our patient communication platform.

OPTING OUT OF TEXT MESSAGES

You can stop receiving text messages from us at any time by replying STOP to any message. You will receive one final message confirming you’ve been unsubscribed, and we won’t text you again unless you opt back in. For help, reply HELP or call us at (707) 643-1703. Opting out of texts does not affect your care or your ability to reach our office by phone or email.

YOUR ACCESS TO AND CONTROL OVER INFORMATION

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. By using the contact form on our website, you can:

-request a description of the information we have about you, if any;
-correct any inaccurate information;
-direct us to delete information related to you;
-and share any concern you have about our use of information.

KEEPING YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION SECURE

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information you share with us, including secure systems for scheduling and patient communication. No method of transmission over the internet or mobile networks is completely secure, but we work to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

In an abundance of caution, we suggest that you not use our contact form to email us confidential information. While we will not disclose such information to anyone beyond those necessary to facilitate our care of you, such information could possibly be intercepted in transit by unauthorized entities.

DENTIST-APPROVED COOKIES

While it may seem funny, our dental website uses “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s computer or device to improve access to our site and to identify you as a repeat visitor. For example, cookies eliminate the need for you to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to remember the interests of our patients to enhance their experience on our site. So our cookies are safe for your teeth and help us serve you better! Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the Last Updated date at the top of this page, and we’ll post a notice on our website for any significant changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

We have linked our website to other sites that may be of help or interest to you. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. Please be aware when leaving our site and read the other sites’ privacy statements to determine to what extent they collect or use personally identifiable information.
