At DentalFi, we are committed to maintaining your confidence and trust as it relates to the privacy of your information. Please read below and learn how we collect, protect, share and use your information as part of our technology platforms, including, without limitation, our websites, interactive features, applications, and social network pages (“Platforms”).

We use the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, and similar to refer to DentalFi, and any affiliate companies and partners. We use the terms “you”, “your”, and similar terms to refer to the visitors to our Platforms. Other sites associated with DentalFi may contain separate Privacy Notices.

 

1. Information We Collect on Our Platforms

Information You Provide To Us

We may collect Personal Information (information that can be used to identify you as an individual) such as your name, email, telephone number, home address, demographic information (such as zip code, age), payment information (such as account or credit card number), social security number, medical and health information, checking history, account balances. The types of Personal Information we collect may vary depending on your use of the features of the Platforms.

For California residents, Personal Information is defined as information that “identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular” California consumer or household. Under California Law, personal information does not include publicly available information or consumer information that is de-identified or aggregate consumer information. For more information, see Section 12, See below: Supplemental Information for California Residents.

Information We Collect Automatically

Usage Information. Whenever you visit or interact with the Platforms, we, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Platforms are accessed and used (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the page served, the time, the preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Platforms. For example, we use session replay tools to record your interactions with the Platforms, such as how you move throughout our Platforms and engage with our webforms. This information helps us keep our Platforms fresh and interesting to our visitors and allows us to tailor content to a visitor’s interests.

Device Identifier. We automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the Device (computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device) you use to access the Platforms. A Device Identifier is a number that is assigned to your Device when you access a website or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Platforms, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify you and your interests, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Cookies; Pixel Tags. The technologies used on the Platforms to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, include but are not limited to: cookies (data files placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Platforms), mobile analytics software and pixel tags (transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed), SDKs, embedded scripts, and other tracking technologies. Cookies may contain a cookie ID that we and third parties can use to track you and your device across digital properties over time. For example, cookies may be used to associate you with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and to enable interaction between your activities on the Platforms and your activities on such social networking sites. We, or our vendors, may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation, to perform analytics, and personalize your experience while visiting our Platforms (such as allowing us to select which ads or offers are most likely to appeal to you, based on your interests, preferences, location, or demographic information), and to personalize advertising to you (by us and our third party partners), such as on social media sites and through other online and offline interactions. A pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server or send content to another server or third party.

To learn how you may be able to reduce the number of cookies you receive from us, or delete cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder, or prevent tracking activities, please refer to your browser’s tools or help menu or other instructions related to your browser. Because an industry-standard Do-Not-Track protocol has not yet been established we do not currently honor “Do Not Track” signals sent by browsers. However, you may refuse to accept cookies in order to prevent tracking activities. If you do disable or opt out of receiving cookies, please be aware that some features and services on our Platforms may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your account(s). In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.

B. Purposes for Using These Technologies

We and authorized third parties use these technologies for purposes including:

  • Improving performance, such as maintaining and improving the performance of our Platforms;

These tracking technologies collect data about you and your device, such as your IP address, cookie ID, device ID, AdID, operating system, browser used, browser history, search history, and information about how you interact with our Platforms (such as pages on our Platforms that you have viewed, including your specific mouse movements, page clicks, and other session replay information).

D. Disclosures of Personal Information

We may disclose information to third parties or allow third parties to directly collect information using these technologies on our Platforms such as social media companies, advertising networks, companies that facilitate session replay recordings and analysis, companies that provide analytics including ad tracking and reporting, security providers, and others that help us operate our business and Platforms.

E. Your Choices

Some of the third parties we work with participate with the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). The DAA and NAI provide mechanisms for you to opt out of interest-based advertising performed by participating members at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.

You can also refuse or delete cookies using your browser settings. If you refuse or delete cookies, some of our Platforms’ functionality may be impaired. Please refer to your browser’s Help instructions to learn more about how to manage cookies and the use of other tracking technologies. If you change computers, devices, or browsers; use multiple computers, devices, or browsers; or delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer, device, or browser. Opting out of interest-based advertising will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interest-based advertising from us or our agents or representatives. Some browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) preferences. We do not currently honor such signals.

Data Retention. Our Information Governance and Records Management Program establishes and maintains company policies and procedures governing the creation, retention, storage, and disposition of corporate records and information, provided that such information to be delete or destroyed is not subject to regulatory requirement to retain it or a legal hold. We retain corporate records for the minimum time period required by law or regulation and/or for a longer period of time consistent with business needs. We determine retention periods for corporate record information using both legal/regulatory citations and business requirements. Citations for retention periods are regularly reviewed by outside counsel and updated as necessary. CCPA rights request records are subject to a two-year retention period as required by California law.

Privacy Rights. California residents may have certain rights, subject to legal limitations, regarding the collection, use, and sharing of Personal Information under the CCPA, such as:

  • Right to Know. You may request information about the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you; the categories of sources from which we collected the Personal Information; the purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing the Personal Information; and to whom we have disclosed your Personal Information and why. You may also request the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
  • Right to Delete. You may request that we delete Personal Information that we have collected from you.
  • Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing. You may request to opt out from the sale or sharing of your Personal Information.

You may exercise a privacy rights request by emailing us at info@dentalfi.finance.

You may exercise the Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing by both submitting your email address and selecting the “Opted Out” option. To the extent required by law, we will honor opt-out preference signals sent in a format commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP header field or JavaScript object. We will process opt-out preference signals at the browser level.

Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you in any manner prohibited by law for exercising your privacy rights.

Verification: In order to process requests, we may need to obtain information to locate you in our records or verify your identity using reasonable methods. To exercise the Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing, you must provide your email address in our Preference Center so we can locate your information (if any) in our records. For all other rights, we will collect some or all of the following data elements: Name, Date of Birth, Email, Phone Number, and Address. In some cases, we may ask for more or different information if needed to verify you. We may also use a third party identify verification and fraud prevention service that will present you with additional knowledge.

Authorized Agents: Authorized agents may exercise rights on behalf of consumers by submitting a request via our dedicated email address at info@dentalfi.finance and indicating that they are submitting the request as an agent. Agents should provide their own information to verify the agent’s identity, after which we will contact the agent with additional instructions to complete the consumer right submission process. We may require agents to demonstrate authority to act on behalf of a consumer by providing signed permission and may require consumers to directly verify their identity with us using the methods described above.

Timing: We will respond to Right to Know, Right to Delete, and Right to Correct requests within 45 days, unless we need more time in which case we will notify you and may take up to 90 days total to respond to your request. We will respond to Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing requests within 15 days.
