Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5/18/26

Special Touch Dentistry (“Special Touch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website, https://www.cavitybusters.com/ (the “Site”).

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Site and related online services that link to this Policy. It does not govern our use or disclosure of protected health information (“PHI”) in our role as a dental care provider; PHI is covered by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

1. Information we collect

We may collect information about you in several ways when you use the Site.

a. Information you provide directly

You may choose to provide information to us when you: request an appointment, complete a contact form, sign up for messages (including SMS), pay a bill, or otherwise interact with the Site. This can include:

Name and contact details (such as email address, phone number, mailing address).

Basic demographic information you choose to provide.

Information related to appointment requests or inquiries (preferred dates/times, provider or office location, general reason for visit).

Online account or portal registration details if such features are offered (username and password).

Payment or billing information processed through our payment service providers.

We request that you do not submit detailed medical or dental information through unsecured general contact forms; such information is handled through appropriate HIPAA-compliant channels as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

b. Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information about your device and usage. This may include:

IP address and general location information (such as city, state, or region).

Device identifiers and device type, operating system, browser type, and settings.

Dates and times of access, pages viewed, links clicked, and the website you visited before coming to our Site.

Information collected through cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies.

c. Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, appointment or messaging platforms, or social media services that interact with the Site. We may combine this information with other information we collect about you.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, understand usage, and improve performance.

Necessary cookies help the Site function correctly (for example, enabling basic features and security).

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and user experience.

Advertising or marketing cookies may be used to deliver and evaluate online marketing campaigns, subject to applicable law.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings; however, disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site functions. Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings, but we do not currently respond to all such signals.

3. How we use your information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, and maintain the Site.

To respond to your inquiries, process appointment or contact requests, and communicate with you about your requests.

To send administrative information, such as updates to our policies, confirmations, or service-related messages.

To process payments or billing via our third-party payment processors.

To personalize and improve the Site, including developing new features and content.

To conduct analytics, measure traffic, usage, and performance, and understand how users interact with the Site.

To send you marketing or promotional communications (including email or SMS) if you choose to receive them, and as allowed by law.

To help maintain the security and integrity of the Site, prevent fraud or abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

For PHI that we collect in our capacity as a healthcare provider, we use and disclose that information as described in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, not this Policy.

4. How we share your information

We may share information we collect as follows:

Service providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, marketing support, appointment scheduling, SMS campaigns, payment processing, or IT support.

Affiliates and related entities: We may share information with our affiliated practices, entities, or providers that are part of the Special Touch family, as permitted by law.

Legal and safety purposes: We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary or appropriate to comply with laws, regulations, or legal processes; respond to lawful requests; protect our rights, operations, or property; or protect the safety of patients, users, or the public.

Business transactions: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset sale, or other corporate transactions, information held by us may be transferred as part of those transactions, subject to applicable law.

With your consent: We may share information with third parties in other ways you specifically authorize or direct.

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense of the word, but some uses of cookies or analytics tools may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain privacy laws; where required, we will provide appropriate disclosures and choices.

5. SMS and mobile consent information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messages originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared, sold, or disclosed to any third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

6. Third-party websites and services

The Site may at some point contain links to third-party websites, online services, or features that are not operated by us. If you click on those links, you will be directed to that third party’s site, whose privacy practices may differ from ours.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of any third-party sites or services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

For PHI, we maintain additional safeguards in accordance with HIPAA and applicable state laws, as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

8. Children’s privacy

Our Site is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent as required by law.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site without proper consent, please contact us using the information below so we can take appropriate steps.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, or deletion of information we maintain.

You can also:

Opt out of marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those emails.

Adjust your browser settings to refuse or limit cookies, as described above.

If you receive SMS communications, follow the instructions in the message (e.g., replying STOP) to opt out, as described in our SMS Policy.

Requests relating to PHI (such as access, amendments, or restrictions) should be made as outlined in our Notice of Privacy Practices, not through this website policy.

10. State-specific disclosures

Certain states provide additional privacy rights or require specific disclosures (for example, California or other state consumer privacy laws). If these laws apply to us and to you, we will comply with those requirements and provide any additional notices or mechanisms necessary to exercise those rights, which may be described in supplemental disclosures or notices.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy and may provide additional notice as required by law.

Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
