Privacy Policy

About This Policy

Azari & Zahedi Dentistry ("we," "our," "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, and what choices you have.

Information you share with us in the office or about your dental care is also protected under federal and state health-information privacy laws (HIPAA). Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is provided at your first visit and is available on request. That document, not this website policy, governs how we handle your protected health information (PHI).

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information through this website:

Information you give us directly. When you fill out the appointment-request form, contact form, or email us, we collect the information you choose to share, including your name, contact details, the reason for your visit, and any notes you add. If you upload patient forms before your visit, those are received the same way.

Information collected automatically. When you visit any website, your browser shares basic technical data: the page URL you visited, your browser type, an IP address, and similar. We use standard analytics tools, which may include Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

How We Use Your Information

We use information you submit to respond to you, schedule appointments, prepare for your visit, and follow up about your care. Analytics data helps us understand which pages are useful and which need improvement. It is not tied to your dental records.

When We Share Your Information

We do not sell your information. We share it only when needed to operate the practice or when required by law:

  • With service providers who help us run the website, the appointment system, or our practice software, each bound by confidentiality terms.
  • With your dental insurance carrier when processing claims, with your authorization.
  • When required by law, court order, or to protect health and safety.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

The site may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and to remember your preferences during a visit. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not work as smoothly without them.

Children's Privacy

Our practice cares for patients of all ages, including children. The website is intended for use by adults, including parents, guardians, or adult patients. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information submitted through this website. The site uses HTTPS encryption for form submissions. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You can choose not to provide information by not filling out the forms; we will not be able to schedule or respond without it. To request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of information you have provided through the website, contact us using the details below. Requests related to your dental records are handled separately under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
