Marquez Integrative Dental Care (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a dental practice located at 5939 Gateway Blvd W, El Paso, TX 79925, telephone (915) 779-6403. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit marquezdental.com (the “Website”).
This policy covers the Website only. Health information we create or receive when we provide dental care to you is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. If this policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices differ for health information, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls.
2. Please do not send health information through the Website
Contact forms, email, and text messages are not a secure way to share medical or dental details. Please do not include diagnoses, symptoms, medications, insurance numbers, or other sensitive health information in a general contact form or email. For anything involving your care, call us at (915) 779-6403 or speak with our team in the office.
3. Information we collect
- Information you give us: your name, phone number, email address, and the message you write when you use our contact form; and the information you enter on our online new-patient registration form.
- Information collected automatically: when you visit, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the website that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4).
- Information from emails and calls: if you contact us directly, we keep a record of that communication as needed to respond to you.
4. Cookies, analytics, and advertising technologies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, understand how visitors use it, and measure our advertising. Specifically, the Website uses:
- Google Analytics, which reports on website traffic and visitor behavior. Learn more and opt out at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- The Meta (Facebook) pixel, which helps us measure and improve our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. Meta may receive information about your visit, such as the pages you view. You can control ad personalization in your Facebook and Instagram settings.
- Security tools such as Cloudflare Turnstile, which help block spam and automated form submissions.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can use tools such as the Global Privacy Control signal or browser privacy extensions. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the Website work. We do not use these technologies to read your health records, and we do not knowingly send your protected health information to advertising or analytics providers.
5. How we use information
- To respond to your questions and requests, and to schedule appointments.
- To process and review new-patient registration forms.
- To operate, secure, and improve the Website.
- To measure and improve our marketing.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed with: service providers that help us run the Website, host and secure it, send email, process forms, and provide analytics and advertising measurement (these providers may only use the information to provide services to us, subject to their own terms); professional advisers; and government or law enforcement when required by law or to protect safety and rights. If our practice is ever sold or transferred, patient information would be handled as required by law.
7. How we protect information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections and spam protection on our forms. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your choices and rights
- You may ask us to correct or delete information you submitted through the Website, or tell us not to contact you, by writing to the contact below. We will respond as required by law.
- Your rights regarding your health records (access, amendments, accounting of disclosures, and others) are described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
9. Children
The Website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted information to us should contact us so we can remove it.
10. Links to other websites
The Website may link to other sites (for example, financing providers such as CareCredit or Cherry). We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please read their policies before sharing information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when it last changed. Continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
