1. Who We Are
Our website address is https://northraleighdentist.com. Wainright & Wassel DDS (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates this website to provide information about our dental practice, services, and patient resources.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
4. Cookies
We use cookies to improve user experience.
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser indicating the post ID of the edited article. This expires after one day.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the original website directly. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information. However, we may share your information in the following cases:
- Service Providers: Third-party vendors may assist with website hosting, analytics, appointment scheduling, and marketing.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal data to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to a subpoena or government request.
- Security Measures: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
- For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, except for data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
9. Data Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no security measures are foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with the updated “Effective Date.” We encourage users to review this policy to stay informed about how we protect their information.
