This Privacy Policy explains how BiteAra handles information collected through biteara.com, website forms, and communications. BiteAra provides general dental information and is not a dental or healthcare provider. Do not submit dental records, government identifiers, insurance documents, payment information, or urgent health details.
Information we collect
We may collect your name, email address, optional phone number, general dental topic, message, and communication preferences. Limited technical information may include device and browser type, referring source, viewed pages, approximate location based on IP address, and security logs.
How information is used
We use information to respond to requests, provide selected communications, operate and improve the website, prevent misuse, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations. Submitting a form does not create a patient-provider relationship or schedule treatment.
SMS communications
General Account Notification and Marketing texts require separate optional selections. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not required to use this website or access informational resources.
Non-sharing commitment
BiteAra: we do not share, rent or sell data to affiliates or third party marketers. Service providers may support hosting, security, analytics, forms, and communications under appropriate restrictions. Information may be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies or similar technologies may support necessary functions, preferences, performance measurement, and security. You can manage cookies through your browser, although limiting them may affect some website functions.
Security and retention
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet system can be guaranteed completely secure. Information is retained only as reasonably needed for the purposes described, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe from email communications, reply STOP to text messages, or request access, correction, or deletion where applicable. Verification and legal exceptions may apply.
Adults only
This website is intended for adults who are at least 18 years of age and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Policy updates

Sources of information
Information may be provided directly through forms and communication choices or collected automatically through normal website operation. We do not ask users to submit clinical records or other sensitive healthcare documentation through general website forms.
Service providers
Vendors may perform limited functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, form processing, email delivery, or text-message delivery. They are permitted to handle information only for those operational purposes and under applicable restrictions.
Legal disclosures
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful process, investigate misuse, protect the security of the website, or protect the rights and safety of users or others.
Do Not Track and browser controls
Browser and device settings may allow you to limit cookies or similar technologies. Because standards for browser-based Do Not Track signals are not uniform, the website may not respond to every signal in the same way.
Access from different locations
Data-protection rights vary by jurisdiction. Where applicable, requests may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection. We may need to verify identity and may retain information when required or permitted by law.
Links to other websites
The website may reference third-party resources for convenience. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and users should review those policies before providing information.
