Privacy Policy
The privacy of our visitors to Center for Contemporary Dentistry (“CCD”) is important to us. CCD operates asmile4all.com.
Website visitors
Like most website operators, CCD collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. CCD’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CCD’s visitors use its website. From time to time, CCD may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
CCD also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on asmile4all.com blogs/sites. CCD only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
