Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Valley Dental Turlock (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to provide through this website, such as when you contact us, request an appointment, or submit a form. This may include your name, phone number, email address, and any message you send us. This website does not run analytics or advertising software and does not track your browsing across pages. As with any website, our hosting provider may process limited technical data (such as IP address and standard server request logs) for the sole purpose of delivering and securing the site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, schedule and manage appointments, improve our website and services, and communicate with you about your care or our practice. We do not sell or share your personal information.

Cookies and Tracking

This website uses only the minimal, strictly necessary first-party storage needed for core functionality, such as remembering any accessibility preferences you choose. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, tracking pixels, session-replay, or any third-party behavioral tracking, and we do not load Google Analytics or comparable services. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Because we do not use non-essential or advertising cookies, no cookie consent banner is required to use this site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the website will continue to work normally. Because we do not track visitors over time or across third-party websites, this site does not behave differently in response to a browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information.

Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how we use it.
• Access and delete the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
• Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
• Be free from discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that trigger a right to limit. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and continue to honor opt-out requests, including Global Privacy Control signals.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. Because we do not sell or share personal information or use behavioral advertising, there is nothing to opt out of, but we will honor any request you submit and any Global Privacy Control signal your browser sends. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Protected Health Information (HIPAA)

Any protected health information (PHI) you share as a patient of our practice is handled separately under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our office. Please do not submit detailed medical or health information through general website forms or email; instead, contact our office directly.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as insurance or financing partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site. Information about pediatric patients is handled by parents or guardians and protected under HIPAA.

Data Retention

We keep the information you submit through this website only as long as needed to respond to your request, schedule and provide your care, and meet our legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations. When it is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it. Patient records maintained by the practice are retained for the periods required by California and federal law.

How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information you submit through this website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending detailed health information through general website forms or email, and contact our office directly instead.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
