Data Security
Dental Intel has implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any medical or health care information will be encrypted in transit and at rest. Payment card information, such as account numbers, is processed via a third-party vendor that specializes in payment processing and has committed to PCI DSS compliance. All Dental Intel employees are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information accessible through their employment.
Dental Intel follows accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted, both during transmission and once Dental Intel receives the Personal Information. However, you should understand that there is no such thing as complete security, and Dental Intel does not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of your Personal Information. If Dental Intel becomes aware that your Personal Information has been disclosed in a manner not in accordance with this Privacy Policy, Dental Intel will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the nature and extent of the disclosure (to the extent Dental Intel knows that information) as soon as reasonably possible.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where Dental Intel has given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Dental Intel asks you not to share your password with anyone. You must promptly notify Dental Intel if your contact data is lost, stolen, or used without your permission, In such an event, we will remove that contact data from your account and update our records accordingly.
Dental Intel further urges you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although Dental Intel uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information, Dental Intel cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. Dental Intel is not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
Storage of Personal Information
We store Personal Information that we have collected (through the means described above) on our premises and in our information system at our facilities, in third party data centers that provide our hosting services, in the systems of third party service providers, and in cloud storage solutions. Dental Intel is located in the United States. If Dental Intel transfers Personal Information from one country to another, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.
Dental Intel stores all information in state of the art physical storage facilities and cloud storage. In doing so, Dental Intel uses appropriate physical, organizational and technological measures to protect the Personal Information you provide to us against loss or theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. This includes limiting access on a “need-to-know” basis. Where third parties (such as AWS) are used to host our products, we use third parties who meet required privacy and security standards.
However, no electronic data transmission can be guaranteed to be secure from access by unintended recipients and Dental Intel will not be responsible for any breach of security unless this breach is due to its negligence. Although we are committed to employing reasonable technology in order to protect the security of our website, even with the best technology, no website is 100% secure. In transacting business with us through our website, you assume the risk inherent in transacting business online.
To offer our website, products and services to you, Dental Intel relies on plugins and services from third parties such as internet service providers, email service providers and plugins, calendar plugins, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, credit card processors, and third party data storage. To the extent these providers have access to your Personal Information, we will require that they are legally or contractually committed to comply with applicable privacy laws, In the case of credit card processors, we require that they be PCI DSS-compliant. However, we cannot guarantee with certainty that the computer systems and storage systems whereon these services are offered will not be accessed by unauthorized parties. This is a risk inherent in providing any information or, or conducting any business, online. In transacting business with us through our website, you assume the risk inherent in transacting business online.
