Effective Date: [DATE PUBLISHED]
Shari Carroll DMD, PC, which operates the practice known as Dr. Shari Carroll Pediatric Dentistry, respects your privacy. This Website Privacy Policy explains the information that may be collected when you visit redondobeachkidsdentist.com, how that information is used, and the choices available to you. This policy applies to information collected through this website. It does not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information maintained by our dental practice.
Information We Collect
We do not use a website contact form and we do not ask visitors to enter medical or dental information into this website. When you visit the site, limited technical and usage information may be collected automatically, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate geographic area, and interactions such as clicking the office telephone number, email link, or directions link.
Analytics and Advertising Measurement
We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the website and to measure basic website performance. We may also use Google Ads conversion measurement to determine whether an advertisement resulted in an action such as a click to call the office. We configure these tools for measurement rather than behavioral advertising. We do not use website visitor data for remarketing, Customer Match, personalized advertising audiences, or similar cross-site behavioral advertising.
We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, patient identifiers, medical or dental information, free-text communications, or other user-entered health information to Google Analytics, Google Ads, or other advertising platforms.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Google and other limited service providers may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to provide analytics, security, embedded media, mapping, or conversion-measurement functions. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website features but will not prevent you from calling or emailing our office.
Third-Party Services
The website may use or link to third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion measurement, Google Maps, YouTube, or social-media platforms. Those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites that you choose to visit.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because this website is not used for cross-context behavioral advertising and we do not sell personal information collected through the website, we do not provide a separate website opt-out for behavioral advertising. The site is not designed to change its basic operation in response to browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. We nevertheless limit tracking to the analytics, security, embedded-content, and conversion-measurement purposes described in this policy.
Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information collected through this website. We also do not use website information for cross-context behavioral advertising or disclose website visitor information to third parties for that purpose.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended primarily for parents, guardians, and caregivers seeking information about pediatric dental care. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. Please do not send a child’s medical or dental information through ordinary email or other unsecured website communication.
Patient Information and HIPAA
Medical and dental information that we maintain as part of a patient record is handled in accordance with applicable health-privacy laws and our Notice of Privacy Practices. If you are an existing patient and need to communicate about care, please use the communication method provided by our office rather than sending sensitive information through unsecured website channels.
Retention and Security
We retain website analytics and security information only as reasonably necessary for website operation, performance measurement, fraud/security prevention, and related business purposes, subject to the settings and retention practices of the service providers we use. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Choices and Requests
You may use browser settings to limit or delete cookies. If you have questions about information collected through this website, or would like to request access to or correction of personally identifiable information that you believe we collected through the website, please contact us at 310-357-4414 or write to us at 1611 S. Catalina Avenue, Suite 100, Redondo Beach, CA 90277.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Website Privacy Policy when our website, technology, or privacy practices change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date.
