Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy covers

This policy explains how Houston Cosmetic & Family Dental (“we,” “us,” “our”), based in Spring, Texas, handles information collected through this website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here. This is a marketing website, not a patient portal — it holds no dental or medical records, and it collects only what you choose to send through the contact form below.

2. What we collect

Information you give us. When you submit our contact or request form, we collect your name, phone number, and email; your patient type (new or returning); what you're interested in; a short note about what you're hoping for and the best time to reach you; and any photos you choose to attach. You choose what to send; you don't need an account, and there is no login.

Information collected automatically. Like every website, our hosting provider records standard technical request data — such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view — in server logs used to deliver the site and guard against abuse. We do not use this to build a profile of you.

• We do not load advertising, analytics, pixel, session-recording, or fingerprinting scripts.
• We do not set cookies for tracking, advertising, or profiling (see our Cookie Notice).
• We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

3. How we use your information

We use what you send only to respond to your inquiry, prepare an estimate, schedule work, and communicate with you about the service you asked about. We do not use it for marketing to unrelated audiences, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.

4. When we share it

We share your information only with service providers that help us operate — for example, the company that hosts this website — and only as needed to run the site. This site embeds a Google Map so you can find us, and loads fonts from Google Fonts; both are provided by Google. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights. We never sell it.

5. How long we keep it

We keep request and contact information only as long as we need it to handle your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for our records, then delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner (see Section 7).

6. How we protect it

This site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, we collect only what we need, and we limit who can access submissions. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

7. Your privacy rights

Texas residents have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), and residents of other states may have similar rights. Subject to verification, you can ask us to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal data and access it;
• Correct inaccuracies in it;
• Delete it;
• Obtain a portable copy of what you provided;
• Opt out of any sale or targeted advertising — though we do neither.

To make a request, see our Data Request page. We will respond within 45 days and will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. If we decline, you may appeal by replying to our decision.

8. Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we'll revise the “last updated” date above.
