Privacy Policy
Effective October 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Apex Dental ("we," "us" or "our") handles information collected through this website, apexdentalflorida.com. It covers the website only.
Your dental and health information is protected separately. How we use and protect the health information in your patient record is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which we provide to every patient, as required by the federal HIPAA law.
Information we collect
- Information you give us. When you call, email us or book an appointment, you may share your name, phone number, email address and the reason for your visit.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and hosting provider may collect basic technical information, such as your browser type, device, the pages you visit and general location based on your IP address. We may use website analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site.
- Cookies. Our site and the services built into it, such as maps and analytics, may use cookies or similar technologies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Online booking, forms and other services
Online appointment booking and new patient forms are provided through our practice management system, which operates its own secure patient portal. Our website also includes features from third parties, such as Google Maps. These services handle your information under their own privacy policies. Information you enter in our patient portal becomes part of your patient record and is protected under our Notice of Privacy Practices, which we provide to every patient.
How we use information
- To respond to your questions and schedule appointments
- To run, maintain and improve our website
- To keep the site secure and prevent misuse
- To meet our legal obligations
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with others for their own marketing.
