RVA Children's Dentistry

Last Updated: June 2026

RVA Children's Dentistry ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our patients and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website at https://rvachildrensdentistry.com.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website only. Information collected in our office or through patient intake processes is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Information Collected Automatically

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help websites function. Our website uses only essential cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell your information.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly and cannot be turned off. They support core functionality like page navigation and remembering your cookie choices. Because we use only essential cookies, there are no optional cookie categories to configure.

Website Analytics

To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it, we use a privacy-focused analytics tool that measures general, aggregated site usage such as pages viewed and referring sources. This tool does not use cookies to track you across websites and does not build an advertising profile about you.

Your Choices

You can control or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Because our website uses only essential cookies, blocking them may affect how parts of the site function.

Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals. You can manage cookie behavior through your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not build advertising profiles based on your information for resale to third parties.

How We Share Your Information

Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate our website and support our practice, such as website hosting and form processing. These providers are only permitted to use information as needed to perform services on our behalf.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers: If our practice is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify visitors of any such change in ownership or control of personal information.

Data Retention

Aggregated website analytics data does not identify you personally and is retained only as long as it is useful for understanding site usage. Information you submit through website forms is retained as long as needed to respond to your request and to maintain reasonable business records, after which it is securely deleted or archived.

Your Privacy Rights

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including:

All Website Visitors

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our website, please contact us so we can remove it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information collected through our website. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Where third-party service providers process protected health information (PHI) on our behalf, they do so under a signed Business Associate Agreement as required by HIPAA.

Patients have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their PHI, and to be notified in the event of a breach involving their PHI, as required by HIPAA and applicable state law.

Please do not submit sensitive health information through website forms, unsecured email, or text message. By using these channels you acknowledge that they are not fully secure. Email and text messaging should not be used for medical emergencies; call 911 or your nearest emergency service in any urgent situation.

Third-Party Links

Our website may include links to third-party websites such as insurance providers, patient portals, or review platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
