Dientes Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
Dientes Community Dental Care respects the privacy of every visitor to our website. Your privacy is a priority, and we go to great lengths to protect it. Sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request. This Website Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use information about our online visitors. We know you care about your information and we want you to be fully informed about our practices.
By visiting the Dientes website, you accept the practices described in this Policy. This Policy may be changed or updated from time to time, so please check this Policy periodically for changes.
The Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal information about you at our website unless you choose to provide it to us voluntarily. Such information might include your phone number, name, or email address. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before entering a contest, subscribing to e-mail newsletters, completing an online survey, requesting information about our services or donating to our cause.
When you use our websites or apps to make a financial contribution, register for an event, sign up to volunteer, or apply for a job, we may ask you for your name, address, phone number(s), and other information relevant to the transaction. We will ask for standard credit card information when you make a financial donation, pay for a class, or make a purchase.
If you encounter a screen or page that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not enter the information and do not proceed with that screen or page.
We collect information about our online visitors both directly from our visitors and indirectly from companies that provide data to us. We use this information to communicate with our supporters and clients and process their transactions. We do not sell it to other organizations. For example, we engage vendors that provide contact information and other data. We use this information to help us engage with people who may be interested in participating in Dientes’ activities or contributing to our mission.
We also collect non-personal information about our online visitors using “cookies”, pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that operate automatically when you visit our website. We use this information to give our website visitors a more relevant online experience and to help us make website improvements. The information helps us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our online visitors are going, and how long they spend there. If you do not want us to collect information using cookies, you can disable this function in your browser. If you block cookies from us, however, you may not be able to see personalized content and our website may not function optimally.
How We Secure Data
We use a variety of security measures to protect your data. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of personally identifiable information.
We protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you send to us. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures.
No website or electronic data can ever be completely secure, but we are always working to maintain up-to-date and appropriate security mechanisms.
How We Use Your Information
If you provide Dientes Community Dental Care with personal information when you visit our websites, we may use the information in our programs and activities. We may enter your information into one of our databases so we can contact you to obtain your input, provide information about our programs and events, request donations, or provide a more personalized online experience.
Dientes Community Dental Care does not sell, trade, or share our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity, except as described below. We do not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations unless the donor has given us specific permission to do so.
On occasion, Dientes Community Dental Care may share your information with our vendors and other partners that help us with our activities and programs. For example, we share information with vendors that help us fulfill orders, manage data, and process donations and credit card payments. These vendors are bound by strict confidentiality rules and are permitted to use the information only to support our operations. We also disclose information as required by law.
Marketing Communications
We may contact you about events, patient stories, news and updates. We may send these communications via email or postal mail or call your organization. If you would no longer like to receive such emails, please follow the “Unsubscribe” instructions at the end of each email. Your e-mail address will be removed from our marketing list. Please allow us a reasonable period of time in order to satisfy your request, as some promotions may already be in process. To opt out of being contacted by any other communication methods, please contact us here.
We appreciate your questions and comments about our services and welcome your email messages to mailboxes listed on our website. We will share your messages with those within and outside our organization who may be able to address the issues contained in your message. We will keep a copy of your message until we have had an opportunity to address your concerns. We may archive your message for a certain period of time or discard it, but your email message will not be used for any other purpose.
