Protected Health Information

If you become a patient of Skyline Dental, certain information we maintain about you may be considered protected health information (“PHI”) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”).

Our use and disclosure of PHI is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, not solely by this Website Privacy Policy. You may request a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices from our office.

This Privacy Policy applies primarily to information collected through our Website and other online interactions. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

E. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to help the Website function properly, remember preferences, understand Website usage, improve content and user experience, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser. Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device until deleted or expired.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the availability or functionality of certain Website features.

We may use third-party analytics and advertising services, such as Google Analytics or similar providers, to help us understand how visitors use the Website and to measure advertising performance. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about activity on our Website.

You may be able to manage personalized advertising preferences through the applicable platform settings, including:

Opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; it means the advertisements may be less tailored to your interests.

We do not sell your Personal Information for money.

We may share information with trusted third parties as reasonably necessary to operate our practice, provide our Website and Services, or comply with legal obligations. These parties may include:

Website hosting, maintenance, and security providers
Website analytics providers
Appointment-request, communication, text messaging, or email service providers
Online payment and billing service providers
Marketing, advertising, and reputation-management providers
Professional advisors, such as attorneys, accountants, and insurers
Government authorities, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or legal interests
A buyer, successor, or other party involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction

We may also share aggregated, de-identified, or non-identifiable information that does not reasonably identify you.

When we use third-party service providers, we expect them to use Personal Information only as necessary to provide services to us and in accordance with applicable privacy and security requirements.

G. Online Payments and Third-Party Services

If you make a payment through the Website, payment information may be collected and processed directly by a third-party payment processor. Skyline Dental may not receive or store your complete payment card information.

Third-party websites, tools, patient portals, payment pages, social-media platforms, scheduling systems, maps, and other services may be linked from or integrated with our Website. Those third parties have their own privacy practices and policies. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website or service before providing information to it.

H. Security of Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure is completely secure. Although we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Any information you transmit through the Website is provided at your own risk.

If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us promptly using the contact information above.

I. Data Retention

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

The length of time we retain information may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, our legal obligations, and other legitimate business needs.

Information that is part of a patient record may be retained in accordance with applicable healthcare record-retention laws and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

J. Your Choices

Marketing Communications

If you receive promotional emails from us, you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us at info@skylinedentalbend.com.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you non-promotional communications related to an appointment request, payment, requested service, patient relationship, legal notice, or other transaction.

Access, Correction, or Deletion Requests

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain Personal Information we maintain about you by contacting us using the information in Section B.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. Certain information may be retained where required or permitted by law, for legitimate business purposes, to protect legal rights, or because it is part of a patient record governed by other laws and policies.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not currently a uniform industry standard for responding to such signals, the Website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals or similar browser mechanisms.

K. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has provided Personal Information through our Website without your permission, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as required by applicable law.

Parents or legal guardians may provide information on behalf of a minor when requesting dental care, appointments, or information for that minor.

L. Visitors Outside the United States

Skyline Dental is based in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, please understand that your information may be collected, transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country or jurisdiction.

By using the Website or providing information to us, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

M. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Website, services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page and revise the Effective Date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
