Effective date: October 1, 2026. Last updated: October 15, 2026.
This website is operated by Alta Vista Dental Care, a dental practice at 196 Lincoln Way, Auburn, CA 95603 (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains what information the website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Health information you share with us as a patient is governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which controls if the two documents differ.
What this website collects
- Appointment requests. The appointment form on our site is provided by a secure online form service and loads inside our page. What you type into it (such as your name, phone number, email address, and the reason for your visit) is sent through that service and delivered to our office so we can contact you. The form provider processes that information only on our behalf, under its own privacy and security commitments.
- Phone and email. If you call or email us, we use what you share to respond to you. Email is not encrypted end to end; please do not send health details by email.
- Server logs. Like every website, ours is delivered by a hosting and content delivery provider that records technical details of each request, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested, to serve the site and protect it from abuse. We may review that provider's aggregate traffic reports; we do not use them to identify individual visitors.
What this website does not do
- We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, session recording, chat widgets, or similar behavioral tracking anywhere on this site, including on pages about specific treatments.
- The site itself sets no cookies and stores no identifiers in your browser. The embedded appointment form may use its own cookies to operate the form.
- We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Maps on this site are static images stored on our own servers. Directions links open your own maps application only when you choose to use them.
- Fonts, images, and other files are served from our own site, not from third-party font or media networks.
Service providers
The only companies that process website visitor information for us are our website hosting and security provider and our appointment form provider. Each is bound by its own terms and privacy commitments.
Global Privacy Control and your privacy choices
Because this site does not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as an opt-out request in any case. You can read more, and find out how to make a written request, on our Your Privacy Choices page.
Your rights
You may ask what information we hold about you from your use of this website, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask us to stop contacting you. Call (530) 885-3368 or email [email protected]. Requests about your dental records and other protected health information are handled under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and may require identity verification.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children through the website; a parent or guardian should submit any appointment request for a minor.
Links to other sites
Links to Google, Yelp, Facebook, and other sites open in a new tab and are governed by those sites' own policies.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the website works, we will update this page and the dates at the top. Material changes, such as adding analytics or advertising tools, will be described here before they take effect.
