Privacy Policy

This Notice of Pri­vacy Prac­tices presents the infor­ma­tion con­cern­ing pri­vacy for health­care offices in Ontario, and dis­closes Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants’s prac­tices and poli­cies regard­ing the gath­er­ing, use and dis­sem­i­na­tion of per­sonal information.

Per­sonal Infor­ma­tion We Collect

When you visit our web­site and use our con­tact form, there is some per­sonal infor­ma­tion that is col­lected from you. That infor­ma­tion includes:

• your name, phone num­ber and email address.
• account pref­er­ences and web­site update infor­ma­tion by email
• any other infor­ma­tion you vol­un­tar­ily send to us through our web­site con­tact form

This infor­ma­tion is col­lected and used for a num­ber of purposes:

• To pro­vide you with infor­ma­tion you have requested, and to keep you informed with respect to ongo­ing changes to our web­site. Your email address will be used to send you mail­ings IF YOU HAVE REQUESTED US TO DO SO. You can with­draw your con­sent for such mail­ings at any time by con­tact­ing us as set out below.
• To man­age and admin­is­ter our web pres­ence. The nature of the Inter­net is such that it pas­sively and auto­mat­i­cally col­lects cer­tain infor­ma­tion about a user’s traf­fic pat­terns, which may be linked to their Inter­net Pro­to­col (IP) addresses. These are unique Inter­net “addresses” assigned to all Web users by their Inter­net Ser­vice Providers (ISP). Server logs record sta­tis­ti­cal infor­ma­tion, such as vis­i­tors’ IP addresses, type of oper­at­ing sys­tems, time and dura­tion of visit, web pages requested, and iden­tify vis­i­tors by cat­e­gories such as domains and browser types. These sta­tis­tics are only used on an aggre­gate basis and will not con­tain any infor­ma­tion that could iden­tify you personally.
• To meet legal, reg­u­la­tory, secu­rity and pro­cess­ing require­ments (such as in response to a court order), and oth­er­wise as per­mit­ted or required by law.

If we intend to use per­sonal infor­ma­tion for pur­poses not iden­ti­fied to you or as set out above, these other pur­poses will be described to you at the time of col­lec­tion or before using the infor­ma­tion. We will not use your infor­ma­tion for any other pur­pose with­out your consent.

Third Par­ties’ Access to Information

Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants is not in the busi­ness of sell­ing cus­tomer infor­ma­tion to oth­ers. Our cus­tomer infor­ma­tion is not avail­able for sale to any out­side entity. We con­tract with third par­ties to ful­fill cer­tain func­tions on our behalf, such as pro­vid­ing mar­ket­ing assis­tance, ana­lyz­ing data, prepar­ing and main­tain­ing site con­tent, pro­cess­ing credit card pay­ments, and pro­vid­ing cus­tomer ser­vice. These agents have access to cus­tomer infor­ma­tion only as required in order to help them per­form their func­tions on our behalf, but they are not allowed to use that infor­ma­tion for any other pur­pose and must keep such infor­ma­tion confidential.

Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants will release cus­tomer infor­ma­tion to the appro­pri­ate law enforce­ment, gov­ern­men­tal or other author­i­ties if legally required to do so.

Exter­nal Links

The Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants web­site con­tains links or ref­er­ences to other web­sites to which this pri­vacy pol­icy does not apply. These sites are not owned or con­trolled by Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants, and Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants is not respon­si­ble for the col­lec­tion, use and dis­clo­sure of per­sonal infor­ma­tion or the pri­vacy prac­tices of other orga­ni­za­tions or other web­sites to which our site may refer vis­i­tors or pro­vide links for. When sub­mit­ting per­sonal infor­ma­tion on such other web­sites, we encour­age you to read the pri­vacy pol­icy of those sites.

Non-Secure Web­site Areas

You should be aware that if you vol­un­tar­ily dis­close per­son­ally iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion (e.g., user name, email address) on non-secure areas of the Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants web­site, that infor­ma­tion can be col­lected and cor­re­lated and used by third par­ties and may result in unso­licited mes­sages from third par­ties. Such activ­i­ties are beyond the con­trol of Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants.

*Any infor­ma­tion you send to us using our web­site con­tact form will be deliv­ered to us via reg­u­lar email. Like tra­di­tional email, this mes­sage is not sent via secure con­nec­tion, so please do not send any infor­ma­tion that you would not be com­fort­able send­ing in a reg­u­lar email message.

Secu­rity

We store sub­scriber infor­ma­tion on our web­site in a secure man­ner. We store such infor­ma­tion in a man­ner not acces­si­ble to Web browsers, behind fire­wall and pass­word pro­tec­tion, or offline.

Employ­ees, agents and affil­i­ates of Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants who require access to your per­sonal infor­ma­tion in order to ful­fill their job or con­trac­tual require­ments will have access to your per­sonal infor­ma­tion to the extent nec­es­sary to ful­fill such requirements.

Opt-Out Option

Upon request, Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants will allow any user to “opt out” of fur­ther con­tacts at any time. Also, upon a user’s request, Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants will use com­mer­cially rea­son­able efforts to func­tion­ally delete the user and his or her per­sonal infor­ma­tion from our data­base; how­ever, it may be impos­si­ble to delete a user’s entry with­out some resid­ual infor­ma­tion because of back­ups and records of dele­tions. You can email us at info@woodbridge-periodontics.com to request that your infor­ma­tion be deleted from our servers.

Your Con­sent

Con­sent to the col­lec­tion, use and dis­clo­sure of per­sonal infor­ma­tion may be given in var­i­ous ways. Con­sent can be express (e.g., orally, elec­tron­i­cally or on a form you may sign describ­ing the intended uses and dis­clo­sures of per­sonal infor­ma­tion) or implied (e.g., when you pro­vide infor­ma­tion nec­es­sary for a ser­vice you have requested, or in some cir­cum­stances where notice has been pro­vided to you about our inten­tions with respect to your per­sonal infor­ma­tion and you have not with­drawn your con­sent for an iden­ti­fied pur­pose, such as by using an “opt out” option pro­vided). Con­sent may be given by your autho­rized rep­re­sen­ta­tive (such as a legal guardian or a per­son hav­ing a power of attor­ney). Gen­er­ally, by pro­vid­ing us with per­sonal infor­ma­tion, we will assume that you con­sent to our col­lec­tion, use and dis­clo­sure of such infor­ma­tion for the pur­poses iden­ti­fied or described in this pri­vacy pol­icy, if applic­a­ble, or as oth­er­wise described at the time of col­lec­tion. You may with­draw your con­sent to our col­lec­tion, use and dis­clo­sure of per­sonal infor­ma­tion at any time, sub­ject to con­trac­tual and legal restric­tions and rea­son­able notice, how­ever, please note that if you with­draw your con­sent to cer­tain uses of your per­sonal infor­ma­tion, we may no longer be able to pro­vide cer­tain of our prod­ucts or services.

Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants does not col­lect, use or dis­close your per­sonal infor­ma­tion other than as described in this pri­vacy pol­icy with­out your con­sent, unless per­mit­ted or required by law. We may be required or per­mit­ted under statute or reg­u­la­tion to col­lect, use or dis­close per­sonal infor­ma­tion with­out your con­sent, for exam­ple in response to a court order or sub­poena, to com­ply with local or fed­eral regulations.
