Privacy Policy

The operator of this website is committed to protecting your online privacy. We feel it is important for you to know how we handle the information we receive from you via the Internet. You can visit WWW.UPTOWNPARKDENTALCENTER.COM (“the Website”) without revealing any personal information. However, you are required to provide basic contact information if you wish to use the site to request an appointment, ask a question or apply for a position as an employee.

How we and our affiliates collect and use personal information

The Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. The Website has no control over the privacy policies and practices of such third party sites, and if you have any concerns, you are urged to review the terms of those sites for more information about the policies applicable to those sites.

IP addresses

We or third-party sites may collect and log the IP address of all visitors to the Website. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. IP addresses allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with one another. We may collect IP address information in order to properly administer our system and gather aggregate information about how our site is being used, including the pages visitors are viewing. To maintain your anonymity, we do not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. If needed, we reserve the right to use IP address information, however, to personally identify you in order to enforce our legal rights or when required to do so by law enforcement authorities.

How we use cookies

“Cookies” are small pieces of information that some websites store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit them. Like many other websites at times, the Website may use cookies to provide us with information relating to the sources of our site traffic. Collecting this information, however, does not allow us to personally identify you.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings so that you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. If you reject cookies from our site, some parts of the site may not work properly for you.

Surveys

You may be asked to complete (optional) surveys when you visit the Website. We occasionally use information from surveys to better understand the needs of our users and to gather information about health care trends and issues.

What we provide to third parties

Except as noted above for surveys, the Website does not provide any third party access to your IP address and contact information.

We may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our visitors, traffic patterns and related site information. These data reflect site-usage patterns gathered during visits to our Website each month, but they do not contain behavioral or identifying information about any individual member unless that member has given us permission to share that information.

Aggregate information

We may use general traffic, site usage and length-of-stay information in reports to third parties with which we have a business relationship. This sort of information is shared only in aggregate and does not personally identify you.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for adults age 18 and older. It is not intended for or designed to attract people under the age of 18.

Email

Email communication that you send to us via the email links or contact forms on our site may be shared with a customer service representative, employee, dental expert or agent that is most able to address your inquiry. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion once communications are received. Once we have responded to your communication, it is discarded or archived, depending on the nature of the inquiry.

The email functionality on our site does not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It’s possible that your email communication may be accessed or viewed by another Internet user while in transit to us. For these security reasons, we recommend communication by telephone rather than email when transmitting personal or sensitive information. Of course, communication by telephone is likely to produce the fastest response as well.

Complaint process

If you have a complaint or problem, or if you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may contact us by phone or email.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy and encourage you to periodically revisit this page to be informed of any changes.

Notice of Patient Privacy

In addition to this notice, we encourage you to read our Notice of Privacy Practices.
