Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Currier Dental Studio collects, uses, and protects information gathered through currierdentalstudio.com. It applies to this website only.
The health information in your patient record is separate. That information is protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and our handling of it is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available in our office and [linked here]. If the two documents ever appear to conflict regarding your protected health information, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls.

We collect information you choose to submit through this website, which may include your name, phone number, email address, preferred appointment times, and any message or question you write in a form field.

Please do not use website forms, email, or text messages to send detailed health history, treatment concerns, insurance identifiers, or other sensitive information. These are not secure, encrypted channels. If you need to discuss something personal, call our office at 985.345.1180.

Like most websites, this site automatically collects limited technical information when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This information is collected in aggregate and is used to understand how visitors find and use the site.

This website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Some are necessary for the site to function, such as remembering form entries during a session. Others support analytics that help us understand which pages are useful to visitors.

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of this site function.

We use the information described above to respond to your questions and appointment requests, contact you about scheduling, send appointment reminders and practice updates you have consented to receive, improve the content and performance of this website, and meet our legal and professional obligations.

​

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent or trade it, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We work with a small number of vendors that help us operate this website and our practice, including our website platform, appointment scheduling software, payment processing, and email delivery services. These providers may access information only as needed to perform their function, and they are obligated to protect it. Where a vendor may come into contact with protected health information, we require a Business Associate Agreement consistent with HIPAA.

Beyond the service providers described above, we may disclose information when required by law, court order, or subpoena; to protect the safety of a patient, our team, or the public; or in connection with a sale or transfer of the practice, in which case any patient information would transfer subject to the same protections that apply now.

You may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time using the link in any message, and you may opt out of text messages by replying STOP. Appointment reminders and messages related to your care are separate from marketing, and opting out of one does not affect the other. To change how we contact you, call our office.

This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information online from children under 13. We do treat patients of all ages, and information about a minor patient is provided by a parent or guardian during registration in our office rather than through this site.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information sent through this website. This is why we ask you to call rather than write when the subject is sensitive.

This website may link to sites we do not control, including scheduling tools, payment processors, and insurance carriers. Once you leave our site, this policy no longer applies. Review the privacy practices of any site you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the effective date above will be updated. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
