Privacy Policy

Who we are

Peterson Orthodontics operates gopetersonorthodontics.com. This policy explains what we collect when you visit this website, what we do with it, and the choices you have. Information about your care as a patient of the practice is handled separately under HIPAA and the Notice of Privacy Practices you receive at our office.

What you give us

When you fill in a form on this site, we collect what you type: typically your name, email address, phone number, and whatever details you include about what you need. We use that to reply to you and to schedule or provide the care you asked about. We keep it as long as we need it for that relationship and for our own record-keeping.

What is collected automatically

We use one third-party tool on this website:

• Google Analytics, which uses cookies to tell us how many people visit the site, which pages they read, roughly where they are, and what kind of device they use.

Google Analytics runs on every page of this site, including pages with forms. It records which pages are visited, not the contents of what you type. We do not send form contents to Google or to any advertising platform, and we do not sell your personal information.

These tools set cookies in your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics specifically using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Some parts of the site may not work as well if you block cookies.

Health information

Protected health information you share with us as a patient is stored in our practice systems, not in the website tools described above, and is safeguarded under HIPAA. If you have questions about your health records, or want to see or correct them, contact the office directly.

Who we share it with

We share information with the service providers who help us run the practice and this website, and only so they can do that work. We also share information where the law requires it. Beyond that, we do not pass your information to anyone else.

Your choices

You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to those things. Either way, ask and we will do it. Use the contact details below.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat that as a request not to share your information for advertising.

Children

We treat children, and we expect a parent or guardian to be the one who fills in forms and communicates with us on a child's behalf. We ask that anyone under 13 not submit information through this website directly. If you believe a child has given us information through the site, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the effective date at the top. Material changes will be noted on this page.
