These technologies may be set by us or by our service providers and partners.


The website may use:

Under some privacy laws, certain advertising or analytics-related disclosures involving cookies, pixels, or online identifiers may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or use for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where required by law, you may have the right to opt out of that activity.


Healthcare and Sensitive Information

Because Snow Orthodontics is a healthcare provider, certain information you submit may relate to health care services. Please do not send highly sensitive medical information through general website forms unless specifically requested and securely provided.


Where applicable, information that qualifies as protected health information or medical information may be handled in accordance with applicable healthcare privacy laws, including HIPAA and California medical privacy requirements, in addition to this Privacy Policy. California law also separately protects certain medical information held by healthcare providers and contractors.


If the website includes patient intake, consultation, or other health-related forms, those submissions should be configured and managed carefully to avoid inappropriate disclosure through tracking technologies. HHS has issued specific guidance to healthcare providers on online tracking technologies in this context.

  • Automatically from your browser or device
  • From cookies, pixels, and similar technologies

  • To investigate fraud, misuse, or security issues
  • With your direction or consent


We do not use website-submitted personal information for unrelated purposes that are incompatible with the reasons for which it was collected.

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, applies to Snow Orthodontics, California residents may have the following rights, subject to exceptions and verification:

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect:

  • Identifiers
  • Contact information
  • Internet or electronic network activity information
  • Approximate geolocation data
  • Professional or employment information if submitted

If the site uses a cookie banner, privacy center, or "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, users should also be able to manage certain cookie and tracking preferences there.


Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") setting. At this time, because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our website may not respond to DNT browser signals in a uniform way. However, where legally required, we honor applicable consent or opt-out preference signals supported by our website or consent tools.


California guidance recommends that privacy policies explain how the site responds to browser DNT signals and whether third parties may collect information across sites.


Third-Party Collection and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, maps, forms, social media pages, or booking tools. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing information.


Third parties that provide analytics, advertising, embedded content, booking functionality, or social features may collect information over time and across different websites or services, subject to their own privacy practices.


Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • Provide services and respond to requests
  • Maintain business and patient records
  • Comply with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, and professional obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse


Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and legal obligations that apply.


Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, system, transmission, or storage environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use care when transmitting information online.


Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13 for independent use, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has provided information through the website without appropriate authorization, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address the issue.


Marketing Communications

If you sign up to receive communications from us, we may send service-related or promotional messages consistent with applicable law. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism in the message or by contacting us.


California "Shine the Light"

California residents may request information about whether we have disclosed certain personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. At this time, Snow Orthodontics does not disclose personal information collected through this website to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without appropriate authorization or legal basis.


Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Changes become effective when posted unless otherwise stated.
