We shall have no duty to notify you of disclosures for these reasons.

How is this information used?
If you do not consent to permit us to share your personal information with third parties, we will use that information only to track your visits to our web site, which enables us to learn more about what you, specifically, and our customers, in general, are expecting from our service. If you do consent to allow us to share your personal information with third parties, we will only use that information according to the consent you give. We may use aggregate data (information about our base of users in general, from which all personally-identifying information has been removed) for any purpose. Note that certain links on our web pages will take you off our site, to web pages operated by third parties. Copeland Dental Group will have no control over the information you enter or the cookies your browser accepts while on third parties’ sites. You should examine the terms of use and privacy policies of other web pages whenever you leave our site.

Security
When we use personal information gathered through our site, we will do so pursuant to this Policy. When we share personal information with third parties other than with respect to the Privacy Exceptions, we will require the third parties to enter confidentiality obligations similar to this Policy or other appropriate confidentiality obligations. Copeland Dental Group currently uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt and protect the transmission of users’ information and communications over the Internet.

Note, however, that e-mail communications may not be secure or private. If you send us an e-mail, your e-mail, like most non-encrypted Internet e-mail communications, may be accessed and viewed without your knowledge or permission while in transit to us. If you consider the information you are communicating to be confidential, please do not use e-mail. As an alternative, you may contact us by telephone at the numbers provided our on website. If you choose to communicate confidential information to us via e-mail, by pressing the “send” button, you acknowledge that you are transmitting information to us which may be intercepted by third parties and are authorizing us to respond to you by e-mail.

Copeland Dental Group will make reasonable efforts to use the latest security technologies to ensure that the information its users provide is secure. However, we would like to remind its users that technology is no substitute for common sense. For this reason, we strongly encourage users to keep their login names and passwords secret and to change their password when they think they have become compromised. Furthermore, we recommend that our users communicate over secure channels wherever possible, disable the automatic login features found in some browsers, and empty their browser caches regularly.
