SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
At Smile Obsession Dental, your privacy is one of our top priorities. We are fully committed to keeping your personal information secure and confidential. Here’s how we manage and protect the sharing of your data:
LIMITED THIRD-PARTY SHARING
We do not share your personal information, including your phone number, with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes unless we have received your explicit consent. Your privacy is essential to us, and we respect your choices regarding how your data is shared.
EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
In certain instances, we may be required to share your information in compliance with legal obligations or law enforcement requests. In these situations, we will only provide the necessary information to fulfill those legal requirements.
SERVICE SUPPORT
We may share your personal information with trusted partners or subcontractors who assist us in delivering services such as appointment scheduling or customer support. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only allowed to use your information to enhance our services and support your dental care experience.
OPT-IN DATA PROTECTION
Your consent, particularly regarding text message communications, is strictly protected. We do not share your opt-in data with third parties under any circumstances, ensuring that your privacy and communication preferences are respected.
MESSAGE FREQUENCY AND RATES
We believe in transparency when it comes to communication. Message frequency may vary depending on your interaction with us, and standard message and data rates may apply according to your carrier’s terms and conditions.
Analytics
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
