5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies
Our website uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to help us operate and improve our website, understand how visitors interact with it, measure website performance, and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may collect information such as device and browser information, IP address and approximate location information, referring pages or websites, pages viewed, and interactions with our website.
We use this information to evaluate website traffic and performance and to improve the experience we provide to website visitors.
Google Ads
We use Google Ads and related technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and understand how visitors interact with our website after viewing or clicking an advertisement. These technologies may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure website visits and advertising conversions.
Meta Pixel
Our website may use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to help us measure website activity and the effectiveness of advertising conducted through Meta platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about visits to and interactions with our website.
Protected Health Information and Tracking Technologies
Because Cumming Dentures & Implants is a health care provider, we take additional precautions concerning information that may constitute protected health information (“PHI”) under HIPAA.
We do not intend to use Google Analytics, Google Ads, the Meta Pixel, or similar advertising and analytics technologies to collect, use, or disclose PHI in a manner prohibited by HIPAA or other applicable law. We do not authorize advertising or analytics providers to use PHI for their own advertising purposes where prohibited by law.
We take steps to configure our website and tracking technologies consistent with applicable privacy requirements. Where a third-party service receives PHI on our behalf and qualifies as a Business Associate under HIPAA, we will enter into a Business Associate Agreement when required by law.
The use of tracking technologies may vary depending on the page or service being accessed. Certain patient communications, forms, portals, or other areas involving health information may be subject to additional privacy and security protections.
Your Choices
You may be able to limit or disable certain cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings, device settings, advertising-platform privacy controls, or privacy controls made available through our website.
Disabling cookies or other technologies may affect the functionality or performance of certain portions of our website.
6. Online Advertising
We may use online advertising to inform members of the public about our services. Advertising and website technologies will be configured and used consistent with our legal obligations.
We do not sell PHI, and we do not disclose PHI for marketing purposes when HIPAA requires a patient's written authorization unless that authorization has been obtained.
7. Text Messages and Email
If you provide your telephone number or email address, we may use it to respond to your inquiry, communicate about appointments, or otherwise communicate with you as permitted by law.
Standard text-message and data rates may apply.
Email and ordinary SMS text messaging may not always be secure. Please avoid sending sensitive health or financial information by unsecured email or text unless you understand and accept the associated risk or we have provided an approved secure method.
8. Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information:
To employees, dentists, and other members of our workforce who need it to perform their duties
To vendors and service providers that assist us with website hosting, communications, scheduling, billing, security, or other business functions
To health plans, health care providers, and other parties as permitted or required for treatment, payment, and health care operations
When required by law, subpoena, court order, or other lawful process
To protect the rights, safety, property, or security of our patients, practice, website users, or others
In connection with a business transaction permitted by law
With your authorization or direction
Where HIPAA applies, disclosures of PHI will be made only as permitted or required by HIPAA and other applicable laws.
9. Business Associates and Service Providers
Certain companies may perform services for our practice involving access to PHI. When HIPAA requires it, we enter into Business Associate Agreements with those companies requiring them to appropriately safeguard PHI.
Other service providers that do not receive PHI may receive limited information necessary to provide their services and are subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
10. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure, consistent with applicable legal requirements.
No website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate caution when sending information electronically.
If we discover a breach involving information for which notification is legally required, we will provide notification as required by applicable law.
