DRAFT — PENDING LEGAL REVIEW

Madison Street Dental Clinic (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information our website may collect, how it is used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
It applies to madisonstreetdentalclinic.com and related online services. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which covers protected health information connected to your dental care, or our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
Effective date: [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated: October 23, 2026.
Information we collect
Information you give us. Your name and contact details, appointment requests and preferred times, and anything else you choose to send when you contact the practice.
Please do not send detailed medical histories, dental records or insurance details through a general website form. Call the office instead.
Information collected automatically. Standard web information such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring site, and interactions with the page.
Technologies this website actually uses
We list these specifically rather than generically, so you can see exactly what is in play:
- Google Analytics 4 — measures page views and records when a visitor taps a phone number, opens the booking link, or submits the contact form. Google receives this information.
- Google Fonts — typefaces are loaded from Google’s servers, which involves a request from your browser to Google.
- Cloudflare — hosts and serves the site, and processes request information for delivery and security.
- Cherry — a patient financing estimator appears on the Financial Info page only. Interacting with it involves Cherry.
- Online scheduling — booking links take you to our scheduling provider’s own site, where their privacy policy applies.
We do not run an AI chatbot on this website, and no advertising conversion tracking is installed at the time of writing. If either changes, this policy will be updated first.
You can control cookies through your browser. Blocking some may affect how the site works.
How we use information
- Respond to enquiries and appointment requests.
- Operate, secure, maintain and improve the website.
- Understand which pages and services people use.
- Meet legal obligations and protect our legal rights.
How we share information
We share information with the service providers named above, to the extent each needs it to perform its function; with professional advisers where appropriate; and where disclosure is required by law or necessary to address fraud or a security incident.
We do not sell personal information. [CONFIRM AGAINST ACTUAL PRACTICES AND CONTRACTS]
Retention and security
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here and as required by record-retention law. Retention periods for website enquiries: [INSERT RETENTION PERIOD].
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we hold. No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the information and the law that applies, you may be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.
Washington residents may have additional rights over consumer health data. Those are described in our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy. Requests about dental records are handled under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Children’s privacy
This website provides information about dental services. We handle children’s information in line with applicable law and our healthcare privacy obligations. Parents and guardians should contact the office directly when acting for a minor.
Changes
We update this policy when our services, technologies or legal obligations change, and we revise the “last updated” date when we do.
