8. PRIVACY, HIPAA & PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We know that the privacy of your personal information is important to you. Avondale Haslet Dental Center (“Practice,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information and, where applicable, protected health information (“PHI”) in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and its implementing regulations.

This Privacy Statement describes certain information that may be collected through this website and explains how such information may be used and protected. This Privacy Statement does not replace or substitute for the Practice’s separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (“Notice of Privacy Practices”), which describes how the Practice may use and disclose PHI and explains the privacy rights of patients.

The Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices is available on this website and may also be obtained from the Practice upon request.

8.1 Protected Health Information (PHI)

Protected Health Information (“PHI”) generally means individually identifiable health information that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by the Practice and protected under HIPAA. PHI may include information relating to a patient’s health condition, dental treatment, healthcare services, payment for healthcare services, or other information that identifies or could reasonably be used to identify an individual.

Information submitted through this website may constitute PHI depending on the nature and circumstances of the information submitted and how it is received, maintained, or used by the Practice.

Users should not submit sensitive medical, dental, financial, insurance, or other confidential information through ordinary website forms, email, text messaging, or other communication methods unless the Practice has specifically provided or authorized that method for such information.

Where the Practice provides a secure patient portal or other HIPAA-appropriate electronic communication method, patients should use that method when submitting or accessing sensitive health information.

8.2 Non-Public Information We Collect

Depending on how you use this website, we may collect the following types of information:

Your name and contact information;
Email address and telephone number;
Information submitted through appointment requests, consultation requests, contact forms, or other website forms;
Information you voluntarily provide concerning your dental care or reason for contacting us;
Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and general technical information;
Browser type, operating system, device information, and similar technical information;
Information concerning the pages or features of the website that you access;
Information contained in cookies or similar technologies; and
Other information that you voluntarily provide to us.

We collect and use information only as permitted by applicable law and, where applicable, only to the extent reasonably necessary for legitimate healthcare, business, administrative, security, website-operational, or legal purposes.

8.3 Cookies and Online Tracking Technologies

This website may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, analytics technologies, scripts, log files, session technologies, or similar technologies to operate the website, improve website functionality, understand website usage, maintain security, and measure the effectiveness of our website and communications.

These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring website, date and time of access, and information about interactions with the website.

We may use third-party service providers to assist with website hosting, security, analytics, communications, scheduling, advertising, or other website-related services. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the privacy and security requirements applicable to information shared with such service providers.

The Practice does not knowingly use website tracking technologies in a manner that would disclose PHI to third parties for purposes prohibited by HIPAA. Tracking technologies that may collect or process information associated with patients or healthcare interactions are evaluated based on their intended use, the information involved, and applicable legal and contractual requirements.

Where a third party receives PHI on behalf of the Practice in a manner that makes the third party a HIPAA Business Associate, the Practice will enter into a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) where required by HIPAA.

Users may be able to control certain cookies through their browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of portions of this website.

8.4 Log Files and Technical Information

Log files are records maintained by our website server or service providers and may collect information such as the User’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, Internet Service Provider, browser type, operating system, device information, referring website, date and time of visits, pages viewed, and other technical information.

We may use this information for website administration, security, troubleshooting, analytics, performance monitoring, fraud prevention, and to determine how our website is being used.

8.5 Information Submitted Through Website Forms

If you voluntarily submit information through a website form, such as a request for an appointment, consultation, information about our services, or a request to be contacted, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request, communicate with you, provide or coordinate services, schedule appointments, operate our business, or otherwise use the information as permitted by applicable law.

Submitting information through this website does not establish a dentist-patient relationship.

Website forms should not be used to submit emergency medical or dental information. If you are experiencing a dental or medical emergency, contact emergency services or seek appropriate emergency care.

8.6 Uses and Disclosures of PHI

Where HIPAA applies, the Practice may use or disclose PHI as permitted or required by applicable law, including for purposes of treatment, payment, and healthcare operations.

The Practice may also use or disclose PHI when permitted or required by federal, state, or local law, including for certain public health activities, healthcare oversight, legal proceedings, law enforcement purposes, workers’ compensation purposes, and other purposes permitted under HIPAA.

Uses and disclosures of PHI that are not otherwise permitted or required by law may require the individual’s written authorization. An authorization may be revoked in accordance with applicable law, except to the extent the Practice has already relied upon the authorization.

The Practice will apply the HIPAA “minimum necessary” standard where applicable and will take reasonable steps to limit uses, disclosures, and requests for PHI to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose, except where the minimum necessary standard does not apply.

8.7 Patient Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, patients may have rights concerning their PHI, including the right to:

Receive a copy of the Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices;
Request access to certain PHI maintained by the Practice;
Request an amendment to PHI that the patient believes is incorrect or incomplete;
Request certain restrictions on the use or disclosure of PHI;
Request certain alternative methods or locations for communications concerning PHI;
Receive an accounting of certain disclosures of PHI, where applicable;
Receive a copy of certain records in an electronic or other requested format, where required by law; and
File a privacy complaint with the Practice or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”).

Additional rights, limitations, and procedures are described in the Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

8.8 Notice of Privacy Practices

The Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices describes in greater detail how we may use and disclose PHI, our legal duties regarding PHI, and the privacy rights available to patients.

The Notice of Privacy Practices is available to patients and other individuals upon request and is prominently available on this website. The Practice may revise its Notice of Privacy Practices when required or permitted by applicable law.

8.9 Information Security

Avondale Haslet Dental Center maintains administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information and PHI against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

These safeguards may include access controls, workforce policies and training, authentication procedures, technical security controls, physical safeguards, secure transmission methods, monitoring, and other reasonable and appropriate security measures based on the nature and risks associated with the information.

No website, electronic transmission, computer system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8.10 Business Associates and Service Providers

The Practice may use vendors, contractors, consultants, technology providers, hosting providers, billing companies, electronic health record providers, appointment and communication platforms, and other service providers to perform functions on behalf of the Practice.

When required by HIPAA, the Practice will obtain appropriate written assurances, including Business Associate Agreements, from vendors or other business associates that create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on behalf of the Practice.

Business Associates are required to appropriately safeguard PHI and comply with applicable HIPAA requirements concerning the information they handle on behalf of the Practice.

8.11 Breach Notification

If the Practice determines that a breach of unsecured PHI has occurred, the Practice will comply with the applicable HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and other applicable federal and state notification requirements.

Where required by law, affected individuals will be notified without unreasonable delay and no later than the applicable legal deadline. HIPAA generally requires notification to affected individuals no later than sixty (60) days after discovery of a breach of unsecured PHI, subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.

Where required, the Practice will also provide notice to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and, when applicable, prominent media outlets.

8.12 Privacy Complaints

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Practice using the privacy contact information provided above. You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights.

The Practice will not retaliate against an individual for filing a privacy complaint, participating in an investigation, or exercising rights protected by applicable law.

8.13 Children’s Privacy

This website is intended to provide information about the Practice and its services. We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information from children for purposes unrelated to providing or coordinating healthcare services.

Parents, guardians, or personal representatives should contact the Practice if they have questions concerning information submitted on behalf of a minor or other individual for whom they are authorized to act.

8.14 Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may contain links to websites, applications, social media pages, scheduling systems, payment services, or other services operated by third parties.

Once you leave this website or interact directly with a third-party website or service, that third party’s privacy practices and terms may apply.

Before submitting sensitive information to a third-party website or service, you should review that provider’s privacy and security practices and determine whether the service is appropriate for the information you intend to submit.
