This policy explains how information is handled through the Galvan Dental Care website at galvandentalcare.com.
Messages you send us
Our contact form asks for your name, email address, phone number, subject, preferred office, and message. The form sends this information by email to our office at contact@galvandentalcare.com. We use the information to respond to your inquiry and contact you about your request. Website hosting and email providers process information as part of delivering these services.
Please use the contact form for general questions. Do not include medical or dental history, insurance details, payment information, or other confidential information. For questions about your care, call the office using the numbers on our Contact Us page.
Technical information and embedded services
When you visit this website, your browser sends technical information, such as your IP address, browser details, and the content requested, to the servers that deliver the website and its resources. Service providers may keep logs to operate and protect their services.
The site displays Google Maps and Google reviews, including review widgets using Trustindex and Rich Plugins. Embedded maps, review resources, and other externally hosted files can connect your browser to third-party servers as a page loads. These services may receive technical information and may use cookies or similar technologies. Third-party services may also collect information about your activity over time and across other websites, depending on their services and your settings.
Read the providers’ information: Google Privacy Policy, how Google handles information from sites using its services, Trustindex Privacy Policy, and Rich Plugins Privacy Policy. You can block or clear cookies through your browser settings; some embedded features may not work as expected.
Website statistics
We use Koko Analytics to measure website page views, visitor estimates, popular pages, and referring websites. These statistics are processed and stored on this website’s hosting rather than sent to a third-party analytics service. This setup does not use analytics cookies. To estimate repeat visits within a day, it creates a temporary one-way identifier from technical request information, including the IP address and browser user agent, with a daily changing secret. The temporary identifiers are configured to reset daily. Visitor estimates may combine similar devices on the same network.
Our analytics configuration removes query strings from recorded page addresses, reduces referring addresses to website hostnames, excludes search and not-found pages, and excludes visits made while signed in as an administrator or editor. Traffic reports are available only to authorized site users and are set to retain 12 months of statistics.
We also keep daily contact-form totals by preferred office and send outcome for up to 13 months. This separate counter stores only the date, form ID, office, send outcome, and count. It does not store names, email addresses, phone numbers, message contents, IP addresses, browser details, or visitor identifiers. A successful form send does not confirm that an email reached an inbox, an appointment was booked, or someone became a patient. The contact message itself is still handled by email as described above.
Do Not Track
This website has no special response to browser Do Not Track signals. Third-party services have their own privacy policies and settings, which you can review with those providers.
Online patient forms
Our Danville and Vallejo new-patient form links open separate MyDentistLink websites. These forms collect patient paperwork and ask for an appointment date. Information entered there is handled through those services and our practice. Before submitting information, read the privacy notices and terms shown there, including the linked Internet Brands Consumer Privacy Policy. Contact the office to arrange or confirm an appointment.
Patient health information
The practice’s separate Notice of Privacy Practices explains how patient health information is used and disclosed and describes patients’ rights. Ask either office for a copy. This website policy does not replace that notice.
Questions and requests
To ask about information you submitted through this website, or to request access, a correction, or deletion, email contact@galvandentalcare.com or call either office using our Contact Us page. Please do not include confidential health information in your email. The office may need to verify your identity and determine which records can be provided, changed, or deleted.
Policy changes
We will post changes to this policy on this page and update the effective date above.
