How The Center for Dentistry of Vernon collects, uses, and protects information about our patients and website visitors.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, phone number, email address, preferred appointment times, and any details you include in a message or appointment request. If you become a patient, we also maintain the clinical and insurance records needed to provide and bill for care.
When you visit this website, our hosting and analytics providers may record standard technical information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location, referring page, and the pages you view.
How we use information
We use your information to schedule and confirm appointments, respond to your questions, provide dental care, handle billing and insurance, meet legal and recordkeeping obligations, and improve this website.
SMS and Mobile Messaging
When you provide your mobile number and opt in, we use it to send text messages you have requested, such as appointment reminders, confirmations, scheduling updates, and replies to your questions.
Mobile information and SMS consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes, and we do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the vendors that operate our scheduling and messaging on our behalf, solely to deliver the service, and never for their own marketing.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out and HELP for help. Opting out of text messages will not affect your ability to receive care or to reach us by phone or email.
We retain mobile numbers and records of consent and opt-out for as long as needed to operate the messaging program and to meet legal and recordkeeping obligations. To make a privacy request, call (973) 827-0234 or use our Contact page.
