Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and analyze website traffic.
We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior. These services may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, certain website features may not function properly.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
HIPAA Notice
Information submitted through this website is intended for general communication and appointment requests.
Please do not submit confidential medical information through website forms unless specifically instructed to do so.
Patients receiving treatment may receive separate HIPAA privacy documentation during their visit.
SMS/Text Messaging Communications
By providing your mobile phone number and opting in to receive text messages, you consent to receive SMS/text messages from Awesome Smiles. These messages may include:
- Appointment reminders
- Appointment confirmations
- Follow-up care communications
- Office notifications and updates
Opt-In: You may opt in to receive text messages through our website forms or other consent methods provided by Awesome Smiles.
Opt-Out: You may cancel SMS communications at any time by replying STOP. After you send STOP, you may receive a confirmation message that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us unless you opt in again.
Help: If you need assistance with our text messaging program, reply HELP or contact Awesome Smiles at (915) 772-4740.
Message Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your appointment schedule and communication needs.
Message and Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Information Sharing and SMS Privacy
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We do not share your personal information with external entities for their own marketing purposes.
We may share other information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, managing our practice, or providing services on our behalf, provided they maintain appropriate confidentiality and use the information only for the purposes for which it was provided.
We may also disclose information when required by law.
This change is particularly important because Archy’s template specifically states that text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties.
