Privacy policy

Who we are

This website is operated for Bristol Family Dental Center, a dental practice located at 2618 S. Bristol St., Santa Ana, CA 92704, phone (714) 540-7101. The site was designed and is maintained by Carbon Quill Media on the practice's behalf. This policy explains what information the site handles and what it does not.

What this site collects: nothing you type

There are no forms, logins, chat widgets, or appointment tools on this site. You cannot enter your name, contact details, or health information anywhere on it. To reach the practice you call or email, and those conversations happen outside this website.

Like every website, the site is delivered by a hosting provider (Vercel) that keeps standard technical logs to run and protect the service: the IP address a request came from, the page requested, the time, and the browser type. The practice does not use those logs to identify or profile visitors, and they are kept only as long as the hosting provider needs them for security and operations.

Cookies and similar technologies

This site does not set cookies of its own, and it does not use analytics, advertising, or social media trackers. The site stores one small flag in your browser's session storage to remember that the opening animation has already played; it contains no personal information and is cleared when you close the tab.

The contact page embeds a map from Google Maps. When that map loads, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies under Google's privacy policy, which the practice does not control. If you would rather not load Google's map, use the Get Directions link instead, or block third party cookies in your browser; every other part of the site works without it.

Because the site does not track visitors, it does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals; there is nothing to turn off.

When you call or email us

Information you share with the practice by phone, by email, or in person becomes part of your relationship with the practice, not part of this website. It is handled under the practice's health privacy obligations, including HIPAA and California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act where they apply. Email is not a secure channel, so please keep health details for a phone call or your visit.

Downloads

The new patient forms on this site are PDF files you download, print, and fill out by hand. Nothing you write on them passes through this website. Bring the completed form to your visit.

Links to other websites

The site links to outside services such as Google Maps, Yelp, the Birdeye reviews listing, CareCredit, and the Dental Board of California. Those services have their own privacy practices, which the practice does not control. Review counts and ratings shown on this site are read from those platforms on the date noted in the site's records and are the opinions of their authors.

Children

This site is written for adults arranging care for themselves or their families. It is not directed at children under 13, and because it collects no information from anyone, it collects none from children.

Your California privacy rights

The practice does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, and it collects no personal information through this website, so there is nothing to opt out of. If you believe the practice holds personal information about you from this website, you may ask what it is, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, and you will not be treated differently for asking. Call (714) 540-7101 or email info@bristolfamilydentalcenter.com. Requests about your dental records are handled by the office under the health privacy rules that apply to patient records.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS and is built as static pages with no database and no server side processing of visitor information. That design keeps the amount of information at risk as close to zero as a website can get.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Questions about this policy can go to the practice at (714) 540-7101 or info@bristolfamilydentalcenter.com.
