Privacy Policy
This notice explains how Jay Smiles collects, uses, and safeguards information submitted through our website and online channels. It applies only to digital interactions; in-clinic care is governed by additional notices provided at the time of service.
Information We Collect
- Contact details you provide (name, phone number, email), preferred appointment times, treatment interests, and any message text submitted through forms or chat.
- Technical data collected automatically (IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, and timestamps) for security and analytics.
How We Use Information
- Respond to appointment requests, questions, or clinical inquiries submitted online.
- Send confirmations, reminders, or follow-up messages related to your request.
- Improve site performance, security, and user experience, including measuring marketing effectiveness.
HIPAA Notice (Online Scope Only)
- Information you share through our website or chat is used to route your request to our team. We treat it with confidentiality and limit internal access.
- Full HIPAA protections attach when we formally establish a patient relationship and provide the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices in office. Until then, avoid submitting highly sensitive medical details online.
Cookies & Analytics
- We use cookies and similar technologies to keep sessions secure, remember preferences, and understand site usage.
- Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) provide aggregated insights. You can adjust browser settings to limit cookies; some features may be impacted.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
- Service providers under contract (hosting, form handling, analytics, communication tools) may process data on our behalf and must protect it.
- We do not sell personal information. We share information only to deliver requested services, comply with law, protect safety, or if required by regulators.
Data Security Measures
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls for systems handling submissions.
- Role-based access for staff who need information to respond. We monitor for unusual activity and maintain backups.
- No online system is fully risk-free; submit only what is necessary for your request.
Data Retention Policy
- Contact form and chat submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain records consistent with legal and operational requirements.
- If a patient relationship is established, retention may follow clinical record retention timelines under Florida law.
User Rights (U.S. / Florida Residents)
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Opt out of non-essential marketing communications. Operational messages (e.g., appointment confirmations) may still be sent when necessary.
- To exercise rights, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request to protect your information.
Children's Privacy
- Our site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 online.
- If you believe a child provided information, contact us to request deletion.
Policy Updates
- We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The 'last updated' date will change when revisions are posted.
