Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment

   At Maiurano Family Dentistry, your privacy is paramount. We pledge our dedication to safeguarding the personal information of our valued patients and website visitors.

2. Collection of Information

   For online appointment requests, we gather user-provided details via a Google Workspace Form on our website. For online payment purposes, users are redirected to a secure third-party platform. We do not retain or handle any payment information directly.

3. Storage and Retention of Data

   All data obtained through the Google Workspace Form is securely stored in our Google Workspace account. We've entered into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google, ensuring adherence to robust data privacy practices. We hold on to your personal data only for as long as required, after which it is deleted in line with standard data retention policies.

4. Use of Your Data

   The data we collect primarily serves the purpose of enhancing patient communication and the quality of our services. We guarantee your data will not be sold, leased, or shared with unrelated third parties.

5. Cookies

   We utilize basic cookies to optimize your experience on our website. These cookies do not gather personal identifiers.

6. Safeguarding Your Data

   Our website is built on a static framework utilizing pre-rendered pages. This design choice inherently mitigates many of the security vulnerabilities found in dynamic systems like WordPress. This strategic architecture decision is one of the many ways we emphasize our commitment to your digital security. We use SSL/TLS encryption to ensure the safe transmission of your information.

7. Your Data Rights under the Virginia CDPA

   If you are a resident of Virginia, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) grants you specific rights regarding your personal data. However, these rights do not extend to protected health information as defined under HIPAA.

8. Your Consent

   By using our website, you implicitly agree to our privacy practices as detailed in this policy.

9. Updates to this Policy

   While we aim for stability, this policy may undergo periodic modifications. We encourage you to review it occasionally for any changes.
