Last Updated: 05/26/2026

Thank you for visiting (“we,” “us,” “our”). We are committed to respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information that you provide through our WordPress website hosted on WP Engine. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
This policy does not cover text messaging terms.

1. No Collection of Protected Health Information (PHI)

Our website is not intended for the collection, transmission, or storage of Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

• Do Not Submit Sensitive Medical Information:
  Please do not include detailed health or treatment information in contact forms, chat messages, or other communications through our site. If you need to discuss private medical details, contact us by phone or visit our office so we can ensure proper privacy and compliance measures.
• No HIPAA Compliance:
  We do not maintain the administrative, physical, or technical safeguards required for HIPAA compliance. Any information voluntarily submitted that could be considered PHI is done at your own risk, and we disclaim responsibility or liability for such submissions.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information You Provide

• Contact Details: Name, email address, phone number, and other details you provide when filling out website forms or using our WordPress chat widget.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• IP Address & Device Details: Non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited.
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use cookies, pixels, and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how you use our website and to improve functionality.

2.3 Call Tracking

• Website Phone Numbers: We may use dynamic phone tracking to understand which web pages drive incoming calls, helping us measure and improve site performance.

3. Session Replay & Analytics

• Session Replay Tools (e.g., Posthog):
  We use session replay tools to record anonymous interactions with our website (e.g., mouse clicks, scrolling) to better understand user behavior and improve usability. These recordings do not intentionally capture sensitive data like passwords or payment details.
• Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics):
  We use analytics platforms to gather data on how visitors interact with our site—such as pages visited and actions taken. This helps us enhance site performance and user experience.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties, except for necessary service providers supporting our SMS system.

4.1 SMS Marketing Consent and Data Usage

How We Obtain SMS Consent: By providing your mobile phone number through our website forms, appointment scheduling system, or by texting a keyword to our practice number, you consent to receive SMS messages from Atlas Dental Boutique. These messages may include appointment reminders, confirmations, practice updates, and promotional offers. Your consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

Non-sharing Clause: No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

5. Third-Party Services & Hosting

  Our site is built on WordPress, which may utilize plugins and cookies to enhance functionality. Each plugin provider maintains its own privacy policy.
