1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, age, or demographic details relevant to treatment. We may also collect your medical and dental history, insurance details, and payment information. Additionally, our website automatically gathers technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and website usage information including pages visited, links clicked, and time spent on the site. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to improve user experience. We may also receive information from third parties, including referrals from healthcare providers and insurance companies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to provide orthodontic care, plan treatments, and schedule appointments. Information is also used for processing payments and insurance claims, communicating with you regarding your treatment or inquiries, and sending practice updates or promotional offers with your consent. We may use data to improve website functionality and security, and to comply with applicable laws and professional obligations.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may, however, share information with healthcare providers for coordinated treatment, with insurance companies for claim processing, and with service providers that support IT, hosting, email, or payment systems. Information may also be shared when required by law, subpoena, or government request, and in the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets.

4. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. While no system is completely secure, we strive to maintain high standards of data protection and minimize risks of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Patient records are maintained in accordance with California healthcare record-keeping laws.
