Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how McGann Family Dental ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit www.mcgannfamilydental.com (the "Site"). It applies to the website only. Protected health information that we maintain as part of your dental care is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, described below.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you request an appointment, submit a contact or new-patient form, or email us, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, phone number, email address, and any message details. Appointment and form submissions on this Site are handled through our third-party form provider.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and how you arrived at and navigate the Site.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

We use the following third-party services, which set cookies and collect usage data to help us understand and improve the Site and measure our marketing:

  • Google Analytics 4 measures how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are most visited).
  • Google Ads measures the performance of our advertising and may be used to show our ads to people who have visited the Site.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies. You can learn more and opt out using the links in the "Your choices" section below.

How we use information

  • To respond to your inquiries and schedule appointments.
  • To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
  • To understand Site usage and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the Site and our practice (such as our website form provider, analytics, and advertising providers), and when required by law or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our patients, staff, or others.

Your choices

Health information and HIPAA

This Site is for general information and appointment requests. Please do not submit detailed medical or health information through Site forms. Protected health information that we create or maintain in the course of your dental treatment is governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our office. That notice, not this Policy, governs how we handle your protected health information.

Website disclaimer

Content on this Site, including blog posts and the dental dictionary, is provided for general educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional dental or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified provider about your individual needs.

Data retention

We keep information collected through the Site only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law, after which it is deleted or de-identified.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. A parent or guardian may contact us to request removal of any such information.

Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites, such as our patient portal or online payment provider. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Material changes will be posted on this page.
