1. Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01, Jan 2026

At Mission Implant Center, we believe that a healthy smile starts with trust. That trust extends to how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website and interact with our team.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to help provide you with the best possible care and a seamless website experience.

• Contact Information: When you fill out our "Contact Us" or appointment request forms, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any message you provide.
• Technical Data: Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to see how you use our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.
• Medical Information: Please note that detailed medical histories should be shared through our secure patient portal or in person. Any health information shared via our website forms is used solely to coordinate your initial consultation.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Schedule and confirm your appointments.
• Respond to your questions about dental implants or periodontal treatments.
• Improve our website functionality and user experience.
• Comply with California state and federal legal obligations.

3. HIPAA and Your Health Records

As a healthcare provider, we are strictly governed by HIPAA. Your Protected Health Information (PHI) is handled with even higher levels of security than standard web data. You will receive a separate "Notice of Privacy Practices" during your first office visit detailing your rights regarding your medical records.

4. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with trusted partners who help us run our practice (e.g., website hosting or appointment software) or when required by law.

5. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

Since we are based in California, you have the right to:

• Request to see what personal data we have collected about you.
• Request that we delete your personal information.
• Opt-out of any data sharing (though we do not sell your data). To exercise these rights, please contact us at missionimplantcenterap@gmail.com.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
