1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
GWDE is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets
forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect
when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing
www.dentalescape.com (GWDE), you
acknowledge and fully understand GWDEs Privacy Statement and freely consent to
the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy
Statement.
2. PARTICIPATING MERCHANT POLICIES
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including vendor
sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by clicking on the
corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and others
who participate in GWDE services are encouraged to participate in industry
privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy.
However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of
participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the
privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage that
you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties
before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with
such parties.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
GWDE collects certain information from and about its users three ways:
directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site
and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
Your Internet protocol address.
The kind of browser or computer you use.
Number of links you click within the site.
State or country from which you accessed the site.
Date and time of your visit.
Name of your Internet service provider.
Web page you linked to our site from.
Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
GWDE may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A
cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or
navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and
saving your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality.
GWDE reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our
website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as
merging into www.dentalescape.com a
site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser
settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on
our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you
register, we will request some personal information such as name, address,
email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other
relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will request
financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to
bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card,
this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may
also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted
in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from
you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary
including:
To fulfill your service requests for services.
To protect ourselves from liability,
To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
(GWDE) www.dentalescape.com web
pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons sometimes also called
single-pixel gifs that allow GWDE to count users who have visited those pages
and to deliver co-branded services. GWDE may include Web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been
opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to
help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us
and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to
our website and how you use the site. GWDE prohibits Web beacons from being used
to collect or access your personal information.
5. ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable
information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this
information by contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant
webmaster@dentalescape.com.
6. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
GWDE has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When
we do, we will also revise the updated date at the top of this Privacy page.
We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed
about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy
statement and any updates.
